hahah we met this one dude on the street the other night who i thought was a total drunk hobo who just wanted to chat and he's like come to my house tomorrow so we went back and he turned out to be this rich fool who lived in new york for a while that was just a litle tipsy the night before haha, we walk in and he had a huge screen tv with hana montana and an american looking kitchen and everything i was like...... thank you heavenly father for making me come back here haha but he's super catholic and didnt accept anything but it was nice to escape the lowly estate for a while haha. then back to the ghetto. but yeah hope everyting is well! i love you guys!!!

These photos are from Catarina-- Elder Galvan said that they went to get some lunch-- he needed to get his casadilla on. By the looks of it, he is also getting his "pose" on as well. Hmmm. Hasn't lost his sense of humor.

Elder Galvan didn't tell me who this is
Picture of a beautiful lagoon--laguna de apoya
Their most recent baptism.
I'm not sure what this photo is?
Elder Weight (MTC Companion), Elder Galvan & Elder Ward
Elder Galvan sent us these pictures Monday & this is of a boy in their stake that is leaving for his mission.

The latest batch of pictures, we love when Elder Galvan sends pictures. Nicaragua is a beautiful place- especially where he is serving currently in Masaya. Hard to believe he has been gone 11 months.
