¿que puede hacer?

buenabuena!

    So this week was so loco and I only wrote in my journal once! ah! So this will be my journal. 
SO... Chileans do the cheek-kiss thing, then if you're family, you kiss on the lips. Super weird. And the guys here do a handshake,Hug,handshake again.
So when I don't have the spirit because of my attitude I seriously can't understand anyone, thus furthering my bad attitude! haha It's fun!!
Funny story! So I was at this birthday party for Belen (a ward missionary) I accidentally said "Y tu" (ee-tew) to an old guy! haha Tu form is informal and we're really not supposed to use it at all, but it's hard cause all you hear from everyone is Tu form. But the old guy didn't really notice I said it.
The candy and cookies here are so good! I actually got a sore in my mouth from having too much! weird!!
Coolest thing that happened to me this week was when All of the electricity in CHILE went out!
Me and my companion were sitting having "once" with La familia Marin! We call the Hermano "Fliate!" cause he talks to gangsters. They are members and we're teaching their
Grandma Ines! So the power went off and it was PITCH BLACK! and my companion was sittin by a girl our age! haha So there was confusion and yelling and I couldn't understand anyone or see anyone- mildy scary! So we had to run 2 miles back to the pension (apartment). It was really freaky because there were crowds of people in the dark. I was praying we wouldn't get jumped- I had to take off my watch and hide my wallet. People get mugged here all the time.
Second coolest thing that happened to me was I got to be Senior companion this week! My companion went to Casa Blanca and I got Elder Purnel! A Canadian! but I had to take the bus's and get us to our investigators, which is no easy task! So hard! Look at it on GOOGLE Earth! It's crazy over here- half the time I have to take dirt trails.
So I'm doin Awesome! I said a prayer in front of 40 people the other day! I said it really bad too! No Fear Brothers!

So all the radio stations here listen to English music.
Oh yeah, the auto shops in Valpariso are so tiny!  I still get culture shock every day.

Hey write me emails! I like emails!
