Christmas Update





David was transferred from La Paz to Ciudad Concepcion - not Cabo San Lucas as he originally learned. He is now about 3 1/2 hours north of La Paz where it is very hot, very windy, and very dusty. Our Christmas Eve phone call we learned that the cockroaches are huge - David joked that they were as large as small dogs - he wasn't joking when he said they growled when you bug them...pun intended. David also said the cockroaches are so large that they pop like a firecracker when you step on them...oh, David...

David was reluctant to describe in detail his living conditions. All he would really describe is that he loves his new companion, has learned more Spanish in the last several days than he has in the last few weeks, and that he wasn't in a tourist area any longer! He didn't describe the conditions because, as he said, "Mom's on the phone". Must be pretty humble!

David sent one of his flash cards home loaded with photos. You'll also see how we managed to get David able to talk to his sister that evening.
