Last P-day of Second Transfer June 24, 2013

Rain downpour at Daniel and Yansis house.

Friends with three ninos!

 A visit to Lisliki where it is pretty chill and beautiful!

 Dinner with the ward mission leader and family.

 His district leader has a laser eye!

Happy Birthday Alexa!

    Transfers Wednesday! Wow time goes by fast! Well fist of all, the universe conspired to postpone the wedding and thus the baptism for this week. They are still wanting to be baptized, but David was sick, the lawyer wasn't ready to marry them and the witnesses for the wedding (bishop and his wife) were out of town that day. We have everything ready to go for them this week though, but please pray for David and Elena that no negative feelings of the baptism will find them this week!

      So last week we got to go to a place called Lisliki to get copies of Elena's birth certificate for her wedding. We traveled by bus 3, deeper into El Salvador in this awesome canyon! Lisliki is the most chill place I have ever been to. The little town is at the head of this awesome jungle canyon and so there is only one road  to it and everyone there rides horses anyways, but people were just chilling out on the porch eating papusas and enjoying life. The place was beautiful.  I'll send some pictures. We gave out  a ton of pamphlets and stuff because there have never been missionaries there. It made me realize that we still have a long ways to go to give everyone the opportunity to hear the gospel! The time will come though!
  So ya, I got to watch the leadership conference yesterday and it was awesome! It was inspiring to see all those new missionaries coming out. That came at a perfect time for me and Elder Granillo. We have been trying to think of ideas to unite our ward here. We have gotten answers through prayers and we are excited to help out our ward more. We are gonna try to have Family nights with every family in the ward in the next month or so and take pictures and put them on the bulletin board and invite tons of less actives too.
  So it rains about every day here but for just like an hour or so. When we see behemoth of a cloud coming close, we time it so we get in for an appointment. But sometimes the rain is so hard we have to yell to teach because they all use this flimsy tin or aluminum as their roof and it's super loud! and mom those ponchos work great and I'm dry! Thanks
  Well I'll tell you if anything changes in the next transfer! Thanks for the pics.
         Much love, Elder Flake
