Email & pictures rec'd 7-11-2011 Happy Bday Kenz.!!!

Two baptisms already. val said they were hard to get in the water, but they may have been ones that other missionaries had started on before he arrived. I know that he is so excited about this new area & his work ahead of him as a ZL.
It is good that he is already getting down to business in his new area.

Of course--he couldn't resist this photo opportunity-- haha.
I think this picture is funny- just makes me laugh, because it reminds me that Elder Galvan still has a sense of humor.
Inside the fortress- lots of interesting grafiti
This is a view of the city from the "fortress"
this photo is the fortress from the outside.

Hey,

thanks! its iight though its nothing too fancy. Anyways so this week we baptized 2 people which was pretty cool they were hard people to get to the water! yeah justin cox is a dope dude, thats cool he's in the ward. ill be lookin out for the letter. thats cool that your all in san diego, have fun. things here are iight. just trying to get used to my assignment and gain the respect of the hood... again...

but yeah im pretty sure the volcano is active but we went to this cool place called coyotepe today it was a fortress back in the olden days and you can go underground where they kept and tortured all the prisoners. its literally pitch black so every picture has flash ha. what they would do is put people down there for like 2 years in complete blackness and then torture them and release them into the sun then theyd go blind. theres like blood stains on the walls and bats flyin around it was pretty legit. so i have tons of pictures from that so i am going to close now so i can send them all. well i love you all happy birthday to kenzie and have a great week
