Short Letter :-(

Dear Family, This week was great. Barrio La Joya was funny yesterday. They announced a few times about Elders Arave and Dart leaving and about how elders Johnson and I will need members to help us in our areas. It was Elders Dart and Arave's birthdays this week! It is Elder Johnson's next week so Barrio La Joya threw a huge party for one of our dinners. We had a lot of cake and Mexican food and a lot of fun company. Hermana Menendez made a big cake and for the 3 birthday guys they yelled; "Mordida! Mordida!" which means "bite bite!" And so the three birthday guys bit into it. Elder Dart did it first and Elder Arave did it last and nothing happened to them. Elder Johnson, however, had his face pushed into the cake by Hermana Clemente. It was so hilarious. He had cake all over his face and there was a face imprint in the cake. Haha. I am having so much fun out here. We are still working hard too! It is hard to believe there will be life after the mission because of my life for the past two years. Elder Dart and I have had some deep talks as we have driven around because he is getting ready to move on. It has been a cool transfer. Just so you know, this is one of the first times in the mission I haven't written ya'll first and it sure goes to show. I will write this email first next week.. It will be next monday before we all know it :D Love, Elder Parry. Sam don't die at two-a-days, I still need to come home and beat you up!
