Bugs and Missionaries

Hey Everybody!
Things here in Tocornal have been going great! I guess the biggest news that we have is that of our missionary, Pamara, who is going to the northern part of Peru. Its basically jungle. She is very excited to go and we are all very proud of her and for everything that she has done for us. The other cool thing that is going are our little mini missionaries. Two young men from our ward has come out with us for the whole week this week. Its been an awesome experience! I love seeing how they are growing as they come with us to visit all the people here.
The other cool thing that has happened is our trip to the rio clarillo today. We started out just going to see a river but instead uncovered a lot more. It first started out as the fact that we are still little boys at heart that would love nothing more than to just poke at bugs with sticks. The second was that right when we entered by the place, there were about a million lizards running around. We unfruitfully chased them down for about half an hour until one rock we tried to uncover to scare out the lizard had another occupant: a tarantula. We squealed for joy and immediately looked for something to put it in. This event happened again and again until one rock, we found who we now call Shelob. We turned over a rock and found a tarantula about the size of my hand with hundreds of tiny little newborn babies. It was gross. So we caught it. It is now in our pension and I have photos uploaded to my Walgreens account with me holding it. Its actually really laid back. Even though I dont like spiders, its pretty cool.
In all, we collected about four tarantulas, two scorpions,and one frog; but not one lizard. aww...
I hope you all had just as an exciting a week as we did. Haha, take care everybody!
Con Amor,
