Hey Family!
How are you all doing?
well so this week has been a lot of fun. we actually havent done anything way crazy or way fun but we did manage to play basketball again. sadly one of the elders sprained his ankle so we only had three people but we got around it, and played for a little longer.

we've done a couple of exchanges the last week because of the accident that happened for rendezvous etc. which has been a little crazy. on thursday i went with Elder Zarate to a couple of their rendezvous and then he had a dentist appointment so i got to sit in a little room by myself forever it was terrible! (it was only 45 minutes too!). ugh it brought back old memories and stuff, no i'm just kidding but it wasnt fun at all. luckily we had some ensigns with us so i got to read a couple of talks. idk... it was fine. (never want to have to do that again though)..

We have still been teaching a few people, no one is really progressing way quickly but things are going good. Most everyone understands (with the accent and everything haha) but the hard thing is getting people to act. which i guess isnt something we can make people do haha... (curse you agency!!!). We have also been working quite a bit with members. Its really cool to see that there are members that really want to share the gospel with everyone they know. its great!

we had a funny experience yesterday porting. we knocked on this guys door and he came out and said he didnt want to talk to us and we simply asked why and he started to talk a lot and he repeated himself a lot and said that the reason that we were there was to convert people and that he didnt want to waste our time etc. when in fact he took like 20 minutes of our time. it was funny, i just kept saying ok ok ok.... and those little letters just got him going even more. it was funny... anyways a lot of people think that the reason that we are here is because we are just trying to convert people to our beliefs etc. when really all we are doing is trying to share and present things that have blessed our lives enormously. its hard to get people to understand that.

other than that people have been telling us to come back other times and all that so things are going well and we have a lot of good stuff going on. its exciting!

umm... thats all for me. hope you have great weeks! love you all!
