The Need Greater Adventures of B-Lo and J-Lo: It's Summer Time!

It is so difficult to keep up with a blog when so much is going on. We are sorry for the lack of posts. Our cameras have been giving us problems, apparently the particular type of hardware our phones have (which had awesome cameras) can't handle the heat. Our pictures come out blurred or with a weird purple hue, so we have to depend on other peoples photos right now.

That being said, we miss everyone so much and often spend time reminiscing. We hope to visit Houston around fall, plans aren't solid yet, only for 3 weeks or so. It is summer here (March-May) and the heat gets pretty crazy. If you're in the sun it can feel like a convection oven baking your skin, but the good thing is that it doesn't get as hot as H-town. Shade is our friend, unlike Houston where the humidity suffocates you no matter where you go. Then again...you do have air conditioning.

This is the time when people start to leave as well, by the of next week we will be down to 15 publishers from 34. We still have only 1 elder and I will be the only MS for a while...I really don't know how long, but there are other non-MS brothers that we can use to help with the load. This does mean though that the elder and I will be giving parts every week,..hey, practice makes perfect!

I have the privilege this month of being a 'traveling speaker' :-D. Well, not a CO or anything, but the English Congs are so far apart that it is an experience. Mid-April, I will be giving a talk in Granada (1.5hrs from SJDS) one weekend, we will stay the night with Joel and Lindsey Savage. Then we'll head to Managua, take a 6hr bus ride and 2hr panga (small boat, almost canoe size) ride to Bluefields to give a talk the following Sunday. We are going to make a week out of it and experience field service in that area, which is English/Creole. My talk will be in English but the Cong consists of local Creole speakers. We will try our best to take pictures.

After the Memorial we plan on giving you and update. The pictures below were of the campaign work on Ometepe Island.
