[nick] WK 2 transportation?

To tell you about the area. we walk most of the time here, we live on
the outskirts of huehuetenango so the houses are a little more spread
out. its kind of similar to kanosh maybe? every one is semi distanced
and all that. its not really a jungle here, its more of... i dunno a
mix of Utah vegitation but its just really dense in some places and
the trees are a lot bigger. there arent aspens though. so its
everything ugly from utah. we proselyte out here and our ward is out
here but we actually spend alot of time in the city of huehue, again
it is very similar to something like maybe in Seans mission but every
one is guatemalan and theres probably alot more trash here too.
EVERYONE just drops there trash wherever they want. its really sad.
when in the city we takes buses usually. either large pimped out
buses or small vans that have the side doors ripped of. i often find
myself hanging out side of those small vans with my feet on the lower
platform of the bus and my hands reaching in and holding on to
anything on that upper inner lip. sometimes they have a bar, sometimes
not and as i do this im usually spooning some small guatemalan man
that has some how found his way in between me and the van. and they
take no speed precautions here so i often find that my forearms are
sore due to clinging on for dear life as the start stop or turn in any
direction in the slightest. for some reason they wait for the last 5
feet to start to slow down at lights or speed bumps, and any time they
do stop, of course they have to get to 50 mph as fast as they possibly
can and FLOOR IT. i will have some mighty fore arms soon. we usually
shop at a small grocery store call maxi. it is a very small smith
probably, they have a semi good amount of american food. speaking of
which, i recieved that package and those marshmallow mateys were no
joke an answer to my prayers, i was saying to my companion all week
