1,330 stairs...in one day






This a picture the mission home sent. It was taken the first night he was there. He still hasn't figured out how to send pictures.
Below is part of Tyler's June 2nd letter.


So this is what happend this week:
i started to count things like dogs and stairs. these are the one day stats: number of dogs i saw 106 and number of stairs climbed 1330 and thats not a typo. insane amount of stairs here.

so there is a dirt soccer feild near my appartment and they play soccer there evry sat and sun. there is this game that some people play there all day evryday. they hit this tennisball against this big wall with the inside of their wrist. it is kind of like wall ball but not . there are always people playing it. there is this one guy there that has a hunch back and he is really good.



the people here eat weird stuff. not the mexican different stuff but they put ketchup and sour cream on evrything. like chicken and lettuce and weird stuff like that. im the tallest person almost evrywhere i go. it is kind of weird. erlier this week i got these weird foot pimple things on the arch of my foot. i popped them and water came out so i think they were just little blisters. they are gone now.

so this is weird. my comps are both native and they both dont use deoderant. they get cologne or axe spray and spray it in their pits and think that is going to last the whole day. another thing about the people here. i dont know what it is but no one can sing. they cant carry a tune. it is so hard to sing with them because they are way off on evry song. so evry sat night and sun morning the catholic churches here set off fireworks during their survices. it is really loud.

yesterday (sunday) we baptized another person. her name is Ximena she is 8. her uncle and grandma are getting baptized next week. it was really cool.
i had tripe yesterday it was gross.
