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 :)
