A Party???

Hey everybody not much has happened this week but here are some of the highlights. I spend a stupid amount of hours in a bus yet again because my companion needed to renew his immigration papers for his green card and we missed the first bus because we had interviews with the president. Which it is so fun to talk to him. Then Oliver had a birthday this week and the only thing that he wanted was cake and when we brought it in his face just light up and his dad had to pull him away because he was going to literally dive in!! he is the funniest kid and he is 5 now. We have had some amazing lessons this week and one of our investigators said that he would be baptized as soon as he gains a testimony (he has been in teaching for a really long time) so we will see how that goes. I really enjoyed this last week and this week we are not travelling so hopefully I have more to say next week. Love you all and hope you guys have a great week

Dog Fun!

This week- I had a lot meetings because I am new,  they needed to explain it all in Spanish. So I understand everything -not really- I still have no idea what even happened in those meetings which is nice.  I talked to a lot of people this week- some nicer than others. One time we were getting rejected pretty hard and to make things worse their dog decided to pee on me!!!  I was like ¿POR QUE?  That was fun. Then we had some amazing people who are so receptive!! We are having our 2nd visit with them this week. The kids here are just so funny- they always want you to pick them up and spin in a circle and feel like you are going to throw up after. It is wonderful, but awful all at the same time. Love You All. Talk to you guys next week!!

A Dark and Wet Cave

So This week has been a fun and interesting one. I think we Hit the record of how many people you can fit into a small sprinter van (THE COMBI)- we somehow fit 36 people into it. It was exactly how you think it was hot and sweaty and major claustrophobia. Then today for p-day we had the whole district over.  My companion told me we were going hiking but NO.  One of the other elders said are you going to bring your flashlight and I was like why and he's like we are going to go in a cave. AND BY A CAVE I MEAN A CAVE. It had water up to my knees and one part you had to army crawl to get through. It was awesome!! We taught a lot of people this week and we are getting great redemption from quite a few. None want to be baptized yet but I think some of them will eventually. Love you all talk to you next week.
