Let's Play Cleanup

I don't know how many times I've done it, but this time I was successful... I cleaned my desk! I can actually use my desk to write letters to my family, friends, relatives, neighbors, etc.
This amazing feat took a relatively long, (and dedicated) time. You will be amazed by the before and after pictures, and will wonder how it was possible to use my desk before I cleaned it (it wasn't):

Lost Water Bottle

Today The zone and I went to a city called Otuzco. It is far, far away and we decided to go up a big hill. Part of the way there, we realized we'd have to jump a small river, those in Utah would call it a stream. Anyway, while there, one Elder neared the river, lost his fingering on the bottle and... whooosh... (slow motion...)... sppplllaaaasssshhhh. Just like that. Here in the photo I caught precisely the moment as it passed by me. The Unfortunate elder didn't retrieve the water bottle and went home empty handed, (and dehydrated.). but we couldn't let the loss of the sad little water bottle stop us in our adventure to our destination.
