¡Hola familia!,
¿como anda?
So because of all these weird p-days in a row,I don't know where I left off on my latest email. So I’ll just finish with last p day.
Tuesday 10/4/16
We had 3 extra elders it was really fun! We all played uno and had a lot of fun and because we had to go pick up our zone leader from the bus stop at 2 am about 5 miles away. We decided to stay up and play games until he came! Except by the time it came to leave we were all so tired and regretted not taking our chance of trying to sleep. But we got there on time then walked home and it was about 3:30am. We were all extremely tired so we fell asleep pretty fast.
Wednesday 10/5/16
This day is devoted to just doing service all day. We went to a recent converts house with the hermanas to pull weeds in her back yard. It was really fun and we pulled like 9 big garbage bags of weeds. We had to battle so many snails it was super groody. She gave us milinese which is chicken breast with bread crumbs and we were very happy to receive such a great prize!
Thursday 10/6/16
The day our heater broke. Very sad day! We got a all clear for no more suit jackets on this day so it wasn’t sad for long! No more silly jackets!
Suns out Guns out!!
The best part is I can wear sunglasses now and hats!!! So my adventure hat has now just been recruited for my daily attire. We visited a lot of investigators this day and met some great new investigator that just had a baby and they both just left their old church because they didn’t like the preacher saying that they cant live together forever after this life so i am very excited for their next lesson!
Friday 10/7/16

Saturday 10/8/16
In the morning we had a very fun church activity where it was a soccer tournament for all of the stakes and cybers in our city. It was fun cause they cooked a type of meat here that I have never had called chorry it’s good and a hot dog but a lot bigger and looks like a sausage. Later that day in a lesson with a investigator while I was bearing testimony my comp says, we need to head home and I was like uhhh now and he says it cant wait so we depart. When we were in the next street some 2 miles aways my comp askes hows my stomach and iI say fine I had meat today so really good! He says his is not good at all. He spent the rest of the day being very sick, but is better now.
Sunday 10/9/16
We had a great fast and testimony meeting and it was really fun we had a lot of visit with the members of the ward. I tried to share a different scripture & thought at each house but we had like 10 appointments and its hard to remember them all especially in Spanish. All the elders in our area came over because I recently bought clippers and a razor for you head and I gave 6 haircuts to them haha it was super fun!
Monday 10/10/16
We had some hermansa come to our zone meeting and taught us about the chapel open houses that we are going to start doing now. We invite a lot of people to come and have a tour of the chapel and me and my comp are assigned to be in the baptismal font area in white clothing. We are to talking about what goes on with the baptism. I am super excited for this I believe our first is next week but they are still planing it. We watched the movie the testaments at one of our investigators house about the coming of Christ and we had such a strong spirit there everyone had wet eyes. We also got another baptismal date. It was so amazing I feel like my Spanish is significantly better when we can all feel the spirit it's like in TURBO mode.
I love you all and am praying for you!
