Oops! I forgot to post last week's letter and pictures!

New email with more details  :o)
Holy Cow, so before I start this letter let me just tell you that I am insanely TIRED!!! after almost 12 weeks of not doing anything physical we just played  2 hours of basketball with some of the kids here. I am so tired!!! If I can walk tomorrow it will be a miracle!!!
I am excited I am getting trasnfered too but no also.  hahahaha. Yes Elder H is staying for one more transfer to show the other kid around and then is leaving... or at least that is what we are told, but that never usually happens. My companions name is Elder _______,  I will leave at 8:00 tonight to Balancan (an hour away) sleep over there and then at 5:00 head to my new area. Yes I am going back to the other side of the mission... hahaha But I heard it has a beach and is really nice.
That is crazy how little of snow you guys have gotten there, and that would be weird to see it snow in April... hahahaha Wow Tally is in the Bronx hahahaha! That sounds awesome! hahaha I bet he is doing awesome! Sound like sister sports are still doing good too. I cant wait to get home to see Kenna play keeper, remember when I used to play keeper, and then that one time with Ryan Hansen and his team I had to play because our keeper didnt show up... That was kinda fun, I remember that I got to punch the ball away and do a couple drop kicks hahaha Keeper is fun, that is until you get scored on. Dont worry I have taken plenty of pictures... I am actually not done, after this we are going to shower and then go and visit the last three members that I have on my list.
A good scripture could be The last verse in ENOS, 2 Nephi 33:10-11, Helaman 5:12, and I forgot the list I made so I will send them next time. It has quite a bit on them, you can pick from there, not pick from there, or do whatever you want... ;) hehehe Well I got 10ish minutes to e-mail dad so I am going to end it here. I am having to support my arms with my knees to write too hahahahaha I cant hold them up to type they are soooo tired!!! hahahaha
Love you guys have fun be safe and remember to pray to be guided during the day by the holy ghost.
Love Elder Evans

This is the letter I got today.  Hopefully there will be a longer letter later this evening.
Well I am leaving El Triunfo now... :/ hahahaha I really ended up liking this little tiny blot on the map that you probably cant even see unless you have a map of Tabaso... hahahaha Well I will try to e-mail you again later when I have more time, until then just know that I got transfered. I am going to Paraíso Cardenas. I hope it lives up to its name, Paradise. I also heard it has a beach.

This is last week's letter:

So bad news... we didnt end up doing the baptizing in Agua Azul. :/ Everything was all set and ready until Thursday.... after we had told the 3 little kids that we were going to baptize them there. So then we had to go and tell them that we couldnt do it anymore. :( that wasnt the funnest. We dont know why exactly that we couldnt do it, we were all really frustrated though because we all had made plans on how we were going to get there and how everything was going to work out. O.K. I will do the scripture thing with you guys :) I am going to try to do it in Spanish and English. Is there any order to the scriptures or just any ones? I will think of some good ones and send them to you next week. :) Some might be a little long... hahahahaha
Have fun with the team dinner, I miss the team dinners too. Good old chili dogs hahaha that everyone loved.  :) Yay Elder Wilsher is out in the field kickin some bompis (Spanish for butt) hahahaha Glad he is out and doing good now :) Good thing everyone is doing good at home too :) Sounds like you just need to clear up some colds and everything will be good... Almost all the dogs are hurt here... they have all been hit by cars or got in fights with other dogs. It is very ugly I dont like dogs here! The scripture cases should be coming with this e-mail along with the baptism ones. Transfers are this next week and it is positive one will be going, the president told us in the zone conference this last Thursday. So quick side note, when you send packages send them at the beginning of the month from now on because it takes about 3 weeks to get here and the zone leaders go to the mission offices every month (dont know if I already told you that).
So the beginning of this week was just crazy trying to get everything ready for the baptisms in Agua Azul. We had three baptisms ready for it and it was going to be awesome and I had even showed them pictures of the place! Wednesday I got my book covers (the white one is snake and the brown one is crocodile. The little hats came free). They are so awesome!!! Thursday we had a zone conference. It was really good, I dont like them because we have to travel and lose a day in the area but I really like them because it is a boost and I learn a lot. We also had to tell the little kids about the no Agua Azul thing :( Friday and Saturday were CRAZY they were spent running around 3 areas (Balancan, El Triunfo, and Candelaria. All an hour away from each other) doing interviews for baptisms, getting things ready, and Trying to find transportation. Almost those full two days were spent running around with that stuff. Saturday we get back to our area an hour and a half before our baptisms. We had to call a youth to go and get everything ready. It was crazy crazy crazy! But it went really well and the baptisms were awesome! that is 19 :) That was my week, just a crazy one... hahahaha
Well Love you guys and have a good rest of the week now. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Love Elder Evans
These are his new scripture covers.  Crocodile and snake skin.  YUCK!

He looks so GOOD & HAPPY!

Quite the baptismal font...
