Mary's 14th letter

Hey family! apparently the int connection is terrible out here because it took over an hour to get into my email!! Is Destin training too??? Mom, dont worry. There are no dinosaurs, and i am not going to die from bug bites, although sometimes i feel like i might lol. Its pretty safe where i am at, and i dont know all of the reasons for why they pulled the whole district out, but one sister had a bite from her last area that got infected, and everything swells out here, so they pulled her. and the other sister had been here 6 months, and president never keeps people missionaries in an area more than 6 months. We do not have a shack, we have a room with an awesome view overlooking pueblo viejo, and the jungle. this morning i woke up at about 5:30 because i couldnt sleep it was too hot, and watched the sunrise over the jungle- it was soooo awesome. We had a baptism this week, Jorge was baptized!!!! woot. and we have about 5 lined up for april, but we´ll see how it goes. Conference rocked, as always. I love love love Elder Holland, he always burns people in his talks and I love it sooo much!!! haha. super powerful. all the talks were fantastic really. I love my companion, and i am slowly adjusting to puerto maldonado. it is supposed to get up to 50 celcius here in the next month or so... i am not sure what that is in degrees F, but let me tell you it is soooo hot with a thousand percent humidity. Life is good, the gospel is true, I love it sooo much. I love the scriptures and the more time i spend being a missionary the more I feel like i know christ a little more. love you all!!!!
