Doin' Well

Y por fin puedo escribir!!!!   [And finally I can write!!]

The internet hasn´t been working for the last hour for me so it´s gonna be a short one no más.

Buen día.

Yesterday Elder T**, my district leader here and one of the other missionaries here in Aeropuerto, and I went to Porvenir again! AND we went even farther than the last time! Basically the only way I know to explain it is that we lived the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland yesterday. It wasn´t a jeep, but a motorcycle trailer thing, but other than that it was the same with the crazy jungle trails, rivers, crazy animals that you hear everywhere (yes, including monkeys) and everything else that you would imagine in the Amazon. I have the best photos ever...... but like I said the internet didn´t even work until 5 minutes ago, so sorry about that. I don´t really have much of a choice there.
 
The people here in Cobija are doin just great. We´re finally being able to progress a little more with the people we have been teaching, so that´s been good to see. The members here are awesome and we´ve had tons of references here. More references than I ever remember getting in any other area that I´ve been in. But, we´re also working super hard to get those references too, more than I ever have before. Hopefully Elder P** can keep that up when I´m gone. He´d be a way better missionary than I am if he does.
 
Highlights of the week:
 
Had some awesome fish in Porvenir.
 
Ate cow kidneys. (that was actually 2 weeks ago)
 
Taught a lesson in Portuguese. Yes, no joke. We were teaching this recent convert from La Paz and he was with this lady who lives crossing the river in Brasileia. She´s not a member, but went to church several times and had the missionaries visit her when she was living in Rio Branco. She understands and speaks Spanish fairly well but with a heavy accent, but only spoke in Portuguese when I said one thing to her in Portuguese. The good thing is is that even though I know my Portuguese really isn´t that good at all, she told me she could understand me and that´s all that matters haha.
 
The new chapel in Aeropuerto is getting dedicated this Friday right before Conference!
 
Lots of other stuff that I don´t remember and ya. I´m fine, my comp's doing fine, freaked out that everyone´s getting married, I actually have bronchitis but it hasn´t really affected me at all. You asked for my flight schedule so I´m sending it. Yes, that´s about it. Congrats to Jeff and Sophie! For the record, I called boy. It´s documented in an email.
 
Amor a todos. Besits.
Elder Groneman
