3 months :)

So ive been out 3 months now and its been awesome. This week had espeacially been awesome...we cut down trees with machettes, climbed some mountains, swung on vines, squeezed through really small holes and walked through dense forest. We also walked on a really  narrow path on a cliff...it was awesome :) We went to pilar today which is about an hour from my area and went in the caves...we had a tour guide too. So those were way cool. Just cause the caves are way different form amaerican caves. Oh yah we had bats fly around us too :) Um, so we walked through the caves with the sisters :)  and we treaded through some awesome mud too...so it was aweome. The caves had been very obviously corroded by water...like they were so beautiful to see. Just awesome. I flet like i was in a movie the whole time just simply because we were in those kind of places that only you see on movies...like with the vines and with the jungle and the mud that could suck your shoe in...an in one spot i was sure they had filmed the Princess Bride ROUS's scene there...it was crazy :) The jungle was just awesome. Someone climbed a tree and got some coconuts for us and they showed us how to eat the meat inside and drink the juice..it has a cool taste it tastes like watered down sprite literally. So that was really cool :) And the meat wasnt that bad either. Um so we got way dirty and had a ton of fun....the caves were gorgeous and it was just awesome. The on Friday we went to some member in another ward to cut some trees for an investigator of some other Elders...and i was thinking oh well we'll just go in their backyard with a few axes and cut down some trees...well we cut down trees but we had to climb a mountain and go to the top to do it...then they used these really cool machettes made from the spring of a car and chopped the trees like axes...then they tied them together with vines...like actual vines :) Then we carried them down on our shoulders an easier path thankfully  and then they gave us some food and i got to try papaya...but unfortunateley it tastes a little like sour milk...but thats probably because i have american taste buds...like things that are sweet here arent so sweet to me because everything in America is really sweet. But yah its still way cool to like try all this stuff and its been a really awesome week :)
