This week was way different!

This week was way different!  Monday night and all day Tuesday, my comp wasn't feeling good so we were in the clinic.  We weren't there the whole time.  We would go and have this check up thing and then go back to our area and do a little work and then have to go back again. The bus rides there were like an hour so we couldn't do much other then travel.  But, we did get some cool pics at the sweet bridge with a big river flowing under it.  My comp is okay, he just has some inflamation thing in his intestines,  i don't know, but it's been hurting him a lot.

On Thursday I went on splits with the zone leader.  They're house was so small.  His area is so cool.  The roads are only dirt and it's so quiet and peaceful in most of his area. There's no tricymotos or anything like that flying around.  I could feel the Spirit way better there.  We taught a bunch of people and it was awesome!  One family we just taught about the Book of Mormon for an hour and it was so spiritual and cool.  We then got back to his house and I looked on my bed and there were like a thousand ants on it haha! It sucked.  He just looked at it and said Muchos! And then he just went and made some toast.  I was like alright cool thanks.  There was only one crumb on my bed and I was like well great.  So I just swiped all the ants off and went about my business.

Yesterday I gave a talk in church. I was so nervous. All I did was really just write what I could in Spanish, but what I couldn't I had an Elder in my house translate it for me which was really nice. But I just took a ton of quotes out of Preach my Gospel and it was a lot. My talk was about 10 mins of me just absolutely destroying Spanish.  All the members said that they could understand everything so that was really nice.

Oh yeah, I have another baptism this Saturday!  I'm so pumped.  I hope everything goes alright.  Her name is Lady Salazar.  She can't read at all, so we help her out with that in lessons and she listens to the Book of Mormon on her phone.  She seems really excited, so that's good.

Anyways, all is well.  Just trying to work as hard as I can and do my best. I miss you all very much, but yeah 2 more years.  I hope everything is going good for you guys!

Love you all so much!
