So I can't send photos today because my computer is
being stupid but oh well I had a couple of good ones that I will have to
send next week. Actually I have one but that is it.
It has
been really hot here and I just got finished with a soccer game and an
asado (BBQ) fiesta with a bunch of other missionaries and youth from the
ward. I also got super sun burnt so now I have really red arms. Alright
now for my week
Monday
I had my strangest food
today....Octopus. It actually wasn't awful it just wasn't super
great. Also one of the Elders in my pension adopted a pet bird.
Tuesday
Zone
Conference with Pres. Chaparo, which was alright but I didn't understand
much of what was said. That took up most of the day and the mission
president told me I need to teach more in my lessons.
Wednesday
We
rode around a lot on bikes today. We had to fix one of them with a new
rear cassette and I bought a spoke wrench cause all the wheels suck. We
spent a lot of the morning looking for a new house because we have to
move out and then for lunch we had one of the spiciest meals yet.
Thursday
I
ate some deep fried cheese bombs called Empanandas con queso. They are
freaking delicious. Another day of weekly planning, but in the night we
had three really good lessons and got 3 new baptism dates.
Friday
Correlation
was tonight and I think it went well but once again I didn't understand
very much so we could have been getting told off and I wouldn't know. I
found a simplified Hymn book which is really nice but it is in Spanish
and it is hard to find the songs I want. I cooked some pancakes for some
members today and they were really good especially with dulce de leche.
Then we had some service afterwards and the member had a double bass
that he let me play.
Saturday
We taught a new
investigator that had a peacock for a pet. That was interesting. The
other elders in our ward had a baptismal service that we brought an
investigator to and I had to play piano for. Afterwards we went out for ice cream and I rode on the handle bars of E Mejia's bike for a while.
Sunday
I
succeeded in not playing the piano because we were late to church
because we were trying to pick up investigators and none of them were
home which is really sad. I went on splits with E Mejia and we had one
lesson with 13 niños which was really cool and my companion wrecked his
bike while on splits so I didn't get to see it and of course he wasn't
wearing a helmet but I think he will be just fine.
Well that is it for now I love and miss everyone lots
