well first off. i didnt get changed and my comp didnt either. things here are getting better. the baptism was good. but he didnt show up the following sunday to get confirmed. sucks but were pushing on for this week. the weather here is getting hotter. i dont thing the rain will dump anymore on us. sucks cause thats what cools us down durring the day.
so the other day i was just walking minding my own buisness. and freak a little kid was shooting bottle rockets at me cause im the only white person around. the people are nice most of the time but the kids are ugh. i just have to keep my head up and press on. it makes for a funny story after of course! the other night we were teaching this family and the light bulb burnt out so me being the tallest one there changed the light bulb or tried to. they handed me the bulb and one of the kids were holding the box. i put it in the box so i could closer examine what was going on... well the bottom of the box was out and the lightbulb fell straight threw. broke. i felt horrible and asked to repace it. well they told me not to worry about it. people here are really nice about things. i think im going to buy them a new one later today.

nothing really exciting has happend here. sorry for the short email... but times up and thats life. things are good. pray for me with the language and such. i could always use help in that! ha ha
i love you all and have a good one! elder crockett

GROSS!! i turned to my comp and said i cant do this. he looked at me like i was crazy. latinos love this stuff. he told me when the guy left we would change plates. wich we did and was ok. i felt sick for the rest of the night. freak i know that it wasnt bad at all and that i will have to eat nastyer stuff here too...

so i read in the news paper that we got hit by hurtricane richard apparently. our streets flooded here and such was kinda cool. it cooled down the whole city!. its getting hotter and hotter every day. had divisions again with a mission office missionary. freak that kid knows how to get into houses and such. i cant wait to understand and know the language like he know it. in time... well i am out of time this week.. all is good here. just hot. this may be my last week in this area and with my comp who know. change is next week we will see how that goes. love you all be safe1
