Catching up

So it's been a few weeks since Levi last wrote in her so I thought I would give it a try. So we did make it out in service to El Limon and it was a lot of fun. I kinda felt like 5 year old though. I was partnered up with Laura who is a special pioneer and she had me reading the scripture for her presentation. It was like "ok my friend has something she would like to read to you." But I think I had it down not to bad the end of the day. It is so amazing that as soon as you pull out your bile to read a scripture, they run and get their bible to follow along. Laura and I walked down this little back alley and there were a dozon young guys and they all walked over as soon as Laura started talking to one of the and they all listen so politly.

So when we got home we promptly checked the video camara we set up in Ben & Nikeas house to see what the housekeeper was up to when we were not home. We know she was stealing from us but we had no proof. Within the first five minutes of the tap she went into Nikeas purse and stole money from Noah & Jags wallets, took a swig of pop from the bottle, ate their M&M's and filled a zip lock with spices. Then the tape ran out but we had all the proof we needed. Ben took the tape to the property manager because he didn't really belive us tha she was stealing. We asked him to hold off telling her until we were out because you just never know. We were both out the next week without her even knowing we were going. She showed up to work on thursday and both places were cleaned out.


So the same day as the video there was also a fire that got out of control behind our house and Levi, Nikea and Ben all had to go help them move all their things out of the house in case it burnt down. Thankfully it didn't but things were really smoky for a few days. The house was covered in ash.
Moving day was fun. Can't say as I've ever moved on a quad and a bike before but we got it done. Our new place is alot smaller and more Dominican but it's cute and will do for the month. There is still a pool but now we have to share it with a cute little boy who pees in it, so we still go to Ben & Keas cause they have a nice big pool at their new place.

Well Pica has made a new friend here. The manager has a puppy named Tao and they have become best friends. Pica is growing like a weed. I hope she wont get to big before we leave or she wont fit into the kennel. Well I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

Hey there you guys!
Really excited to see your blog up and going. Very glad to hear you are there finally Amber but we really miss you guys here. We're proud of you Amber for hang'in in there too with your spanish service and yeah you'd be pretty exhausted after three hours of bible reading in spanish. Good for you! Now we have something to look forward to after a long day in the city for work.
