The Donkey Man and the House at the Top of the Mountains- Estanzuela- Week 16

Hey. Sorry that I won't have very much time to write again. Everything is still good here in Estanzuela.
And if you want to know a cool thing, there is a super rich guy in our ward, well there is more than one, but one of them gave some suits to the missionaries, so I have a suit that is blue that is really cool and fits me better!
In other news, while I'm thinking about the rich people there was a funny story this Saturday. We were helping the Martinez family carry something called mixto up the mountain (and I was super awesome at it). We put it into bags and carried it up. When the elders quorum president showed up, who is super rich and lived in America and served his mission in Washington and everything, he carried one bag up the mountain and decided that we needed a donkey to come and do it. So Brother Martinez went to talk to the donkey man, and they paid like 600 pesos to haul the stuff up the mountain. I was kind of sad, because we only got to work for like 2 maybe 2 and a half hours, and I like doing service projects like that. So, when I come home I think I am going to make my house up in the mountains with cinder block so that we have to carry it all up by hand. But I might just come back here and do it because the familia Martinez has a ridiculously awesome view, and I've already told them I was coming back to live up there. Plus, if you live up there you don't have to pay for electricity or buy your land or anything. You just have to cooperate with the crazy makeshift water government they have going on. It is a whole other world up there, and it is really cool. Sorry I don't have a ton of time to write right now or the last 3 weeks, and I would promise you next week will be good, but I have no way of seeing into the future. But you should be happy, because I sent you pictures and a story, and you have numerous details of the way the people live up at the top of the mountain. Oh ya, I almost forgot. At church, somebody was asking the elders quorum president about the project, and he said that they did the donkey thing, and they kind of gave him a hard time, and he said that we can buy everything we need with money, and it was total apostasy and ridiculous, so I'm sorry if the humor doesn't transfer through. But I love you guys a ton and hope that everything goes well with you in this week!!!!! BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
