Here's another. If you don't want to e-mail Danny but want us to ask him something or say hello, just ask me to ask him!!!!

Dear Family and Friends, Things are great. I guess the rainy season started last month, buttypically for the month of june its supposed to rain non-stop, but its onlythe second day. I cant really think of anything specific, just make surethat you send it to the p.o. box address if you didnt do that. I will bemeeting with President Squires tomorrow, so i should get it then, if it camein. You can send the crocs, but i dont know how much i will be wearingthem, i will probably wear them on pdays. That's funny that Bekah got Cody's name on hers. How did she graduateearly? That's neat that you guys are talking about me. Let everybody knowi say hi. I haven't gotten homesick yet, but i have been told by the otheramericans that it will happen soon. My area is really cool. The ZoneLeader is really cool, our district leader is a little weird, as with mycompanion, but this isnt supposed to be easy. I have been washing all myclothes by hand which is really fun. It took some time, but pretty soon iwill be better than an actual washer. The work is going great. Everybody is willing to talk, we haven't beenturned down by anybody. We have about 8 investigators that we are going tobe baptizing this month, so that should be a great experience. The branchhas over 300 member but this week only 107 came, but that was the most ithas been in a long time. A lot of the work is reactivation. Its toughbecause people come and go as they please, or die, and nobody writes it inthe records, so we have to update a lot of the records. The food here is really weird. Look up fufu and garry. Its not too bad,but its not nearly as good as the food we have back home. We bought asmoked cat fish though, and it is way good. It should last us about amonth, and it only cost about 3.00, for the entire thing... teeth and all.We buy a lot of stuff at the market, and i am learning how to bargain whichis pretty funny, but most people think i have a ton of money. Tell the Lee's congrats, i know thats where they wanted to go, so thatspretty cool. I want to serve a mission with my wife when i am that old. Imay not have enough time to email charlotte, but i will try. So, my haircut was so bad that i ended up getting the entire thing shaved.I am completely bald, so i will send you some pictures when i get the cord.I saw a lot of monkeys this week and took some pictures. Its really wierd,some people have them on leashes and walk around with them. Well, loves. Elder Gaxiola
