So this week consisted of a bomb alert bell, getting owned by the sun, almost brawling with an adventista, interchanges with Elder Cusick from Provo, Livin in a little hut right off the sidewalk for a night, and in church a lady came up to us and asked if we could come over to her house to bless her daughter and bless the house cause weird stuff was happening!!! 

I got a little smarter this week, I filled up a spray bottle with bug spray and hand sanitizer and now it's Dog Mace! haha I got a crazy dog right in the face with it! a big rottwiler was comin right for me and I put my bottle out like a ninja and owned him!!

So my momita totally washed a pen with my shirts and killed 2 of um. I have to wear my socks over again because she never washes them in time. I murmured a little. But one thing I've learned in the mission is just to love when things go terrible- makes me just love things so much more! 

So I have to be in a talent show in 2 weeks, and I have no talents. Everyone wants me to dance, so I'll probably have a good video coming!  

In my ward, everyone lines up to share their testimonies! it's so cool! like seriously every single person. So I win the hearts over of all the inactive and menos activo kids in our ward, but they never come to church. 

I take taxi's everywhere and I sit in the front and mess with the guys stereo and I just never know what he yells at me! Last week I had no idea which language I was speaking to people, I forget that the languages are separate... Okay, so the investigator I have with a fecha bautismal is like a celebrity, he's so like smooth and Bakan. I taught him the plan of salvation and we got to the part where I was reading in the scriptures where it says not a hair on your head will be lost, and I just like stopped and looked up at him. He has a tiny bald spot that I think he´s self conscience about haha. They laughed so hard at him!! 

SO... crazy thing I learned... I met an inactive family who'd gone through the temple and had completely stopped going to church. For over 20 years.  In the scriptures it says that your testimony is either growing or decreasing.  They could not even remember much about the gospel, not even like the word of wisdom, we had to like re-teach them, God had taken the light from them.  This week I used the scriptures to "cut" everyone. I can't really butter up any of my words in Spanish so I'm just like BAM BAM BAM! Tellin it like it is. 
My companion was telllin me at the end of your mission everyone will be so used to not having you around. When you get back you´ll just throw a wrench in everything.
Write me!
I love letters and emails and dearelders!!
