weeellll this week was a good one..:)

here's what happened:

So here's some funny stuff that my companion does.

He eats one thing on his plate at a time. like first the chicken, and then the salad, etc.

when he has cereal, he has a regular amount of milk, but then he has 1 layer of milk over the top. so like 30 pieces of cereal. and the milk isn't the problem...i have no idea why

he always interrupts me when I'm talking. like ill be talking about one thing, and then he'll just butt in and say something about something that we talked about 5 minutes ago

he absolutely loves talking about Columbia. and his family. like very excessively. sometimes I just don't respond...and he still keeps on talking.

he also always talks in these voices that are supposed to be funny...

well I really do have a good companion, but he has some interesting habits:) there are many more...

so we are teaching a blind guy right now named marco that we think will really progress!

oh so last week I didn't tell you that I lost my wallet... I had no idea where it was. it just wasn't in my pocket when I put my pants on one morning. so I was without some things for over a week, some very very important things that I should not of been carrying around with me in the first place. so I was kind of a little bit worried this week. so then yesterday we were eating at a members house and one of them came down holding my wallet. i then very astoundingly asked him where he got it. he told me that he recouped it or something, i think he works for the police here, and that it was found on a bus. And here's the best part. it still had everything but some money that I had in it in the wallet!!!! it was incredible!!! an awesome answer to my prayers! So my lesson? I don't carry my wallet with me anymore:)

oh I ate heart this week! it had an interesting texture...

also I found out that the church is just another branch of the government and that we as missionaries are working to bring the world under US rule.

Our Jehovah's Witness is doing awesome and we are baptizing this week or the next! 

The mission is really awesome. I am learning so much right now that I cant even describe. It really is more than a blessing. I don't think I can describe how great it is:)

we had a really cool experience this week. so my comp was having some incredible}y intense back pains. like he almost through up from pain. we weren't really sure what to do, so we just said a prayer. after his pain decreased rapidly and the next morning he woke up with very little pain!! How real God is!

Well that's about it folks!!:) I love you all tons and hop that you have a splendid week!!:)

 Soooo this week we had changes! My new comps name is Elder Mora (blackberry). He is from Columbia, and he's a fruit. I'm not joking that was my first impression of him and then I saw his suitcase, it is completely purple. Yup. Luckily I know that he has a girlfriend. So he has some interesting tendencies...like he always is doing something that includes his mouth when he is thinking alone. he also loves loves loves to talk. like nonstop. Dad you would hate him as a child:) Buuuttt he is much more obedient than my old comp and we work harder:) However that being said I wish we could have some more fun. He is not serious, buutttt his humor isn't my humor:) I find myself laughing at a lot of stuff he does though...:) Oh and he wants to know what part of Columbia uncle Robert served in?

Oh and somethin cool, elder ford my comp from the mtc is in my zone!

So we got 3 new investigators in one day this week!

Oh my comp says my Spanish is really good, and he told me without knowing my roots that I have a Spanish, as in Spain, way of pronouncing things;)

Well not to much else happened this week, except the Americans won for the 3rd time in a row this week against the latinos in our weekly zone soccer game:) oh and we won like about 20 to 5:)

Well that's pretty much all that happened this week...until next week!

 To be completely honest I have absolutely no idea where this week went...there wasn`t even any big events...oh well here`s the cool stuff that happened:)

So we ended up having a miracle slash gift baptism this week...so what happened is one of the youth in our ward had there records lost and was trying to go to the temple, soooooo we got to rebaptize her and it counted as a convert:) I am not like extremely focused on numbers but it was pretty cool:)

So I forgot to tell you guys that the suit factory for JC Penny and JO S Bank is in my area, sooo basically I can buy a suit for about 55 dollars. A suit that probably would be about 200-400 in the store...I think I`m gonna go for it:) I`m thinking about a charcoal colored one...

So we have 2 golden investigators. One of them is actually a Jehovah`s witness...crazy! So she is actually progressing a ton, and its pretty cool, because I realized this week that if you believe in Christ, then the Church makes a ton of logical sense:)

So we have transfers this week! And my companion is going! I'm going to miss him, but I am excited to take over our area and see how hard I can work:) We have our transfers on Tuesdays, so Ill find out tiomorrow...my comp thinks I might train...it would be awesome and I know I would learn a bumload:) It actually is quite possible because I heard that there are about 40 missionaries coming in, and there are only 120 missionaries or something in our mission...whatever it is I know that I will trust in what the Lord has in store for me!!:)

Well that`s all folks! Until next week!

 What a weird week! Here`s why:

Like I said before, I have quite an impressive amount of cereal. Let`s just say I have enough to never repeat a cereal in a week. Boom.

Also I got peaches:)

I will have a stone dragon on my doorstep when I have my own house.

I have found a store that sells cheese puffs in bags the size of a 12 year old. I do not exaggerate.

The language is coming!!!

I found a giant meat grinder, like 3 times the size of the one at home. And real cheap too, like 60 bucks. 

This is the last week of this transfer...bien rapido!

We played soccer today. My team consisted of 5 gueros and 1 mexicano. The other 1 guero y 5 mexicanos. We destroyed them. What`s up:)

Sooo my favorite lesson to teach to less actives is the familia: a proclamation to the world. Its so clear when we study that what we need to to to have success and unity in our families! We just need to apply all those things and we will be incredibly happy as families:)

So we had exchanges I think its called in English, and my comp for the exchanges was sick, so we were in the house all day...stunk.

Sooo we had the baptism this week of Yazaira, it was...interesting:) So here`s the deetsa for why:

we couldn't open the door to the boiler, so the water was super cold

because of this, the dad didn't want to baptize

also my companion wasn't there because we did mini exchanges with members from the ward. so I'm here with her dad for 15 minutes having no idea what to do. finally the comp got there. he did some persuasion and we ended up going for it.

so also by now the whole family kinda mad. 

so I'm baptizing, so I get in the water, and then I realize how cold it is. so here I am with  a 9 year old to baptize, and freezing water. so she come s down, doesnt say a word. I say the prayer, and baptize her. now I don't know if she didn't understand the plug your nose part, opened her mouth, or it was just the shock of the cold water, but she came out about ready to die. I'm not joking I was really scared. so with the family's mouths open I very hurriedly rushed Yazaira out of the water apologizing about 50 times. So by the time I got changed and everything we were all good:) and that, was by first experience baptizing:):) Still cool though:)

Well that's all folks!
