Hi, Mom. Hope you guys got the pictures that I managed to
send you guys last week, one of them being my so-called "Halloween
costume" that I came up with, along with some help from my buddies here in
Empalme (if you didn't see it, I dressed up as a ninjanary, which is a ninja
missionary). Anyway, I was a little bummed that I wasn't able to spend
Halloween with you guys this year, but at the same time, I'm pretty okay,
because I got your guys' package you sent me :D I absolutely LOVE what was in
it, especially the Camera Cable, which means I don't have to go Computer
Hunting for a Cyber that would accept my camera's SD Card. Thanks a ton for the
photos of you guys that you sent me, too. I'll be sure to send a ton more
photos of me and all the other crazy stuff to see here. Anyway, today was a
little slow, because of the whole "Day of the Dead" thing they got
going on here, so almost all of the stores and cybers are closed due to
holiday. I don't quite understand it, but I suppose it has a great connection
with the Latin-American culture, because everyone - Mormons, Catholics,
Evangelists, virtually everyone - has been going to the cemeteries in Quevedo
and here in El Empalme to visit their dead loved ones. But, sadly, they don't
do any stuff, like let their kids go around, knocking on people's doors and ask
for candy, which is understandable here, being a fair amount more different
than the neighborhoods in the States. I'd honestly feel a little sketchy about
taking my kid out to go trick-or-treating here, too, just saying. Still, there
are kids (and some others) that like to dress up and have a little fun here
with it, which was kind of cool to see. But yeah, glad to hear that you guys
are all doing okay, and hope that you guys have an awesome first week of
November! I also hoped Leilani liked the picture I sent her of the adorable
turtle that one of our members here has for a pet. As a matter of fact, they're
even willing to part with him, so if Leilani is, by chance, interested in
fulfilling her wildest dreams of owning a pet baby turtle, that cute little guy
is looking for another home, hahahaha! I love you guys a ton, and keep being
awesome! Take care, guys!!!
Con sinceridad y amor,
Elder Conner Duane "Poderoso" Parke
