SHOOOTTT!!!! DANGGG!!!!!
WOW have i had a week hahaha k ive got sooooooooo mcuh to type darn it and i know im not gonna get it all but ill do my best!!
Alright so i gotta start with the important first!!! IM GETTING TRANSFERED!!! not gonna finish my comps training darn it, hes seriously been a great friend of mine here and weve torn it up together!!! I really wanted to stay one more transfer with him darn it, but ya there moving me this week......... AHHHH and weve got sooooo many INCREDIBLE investigators on the verge of getting baptized, and im gonna miss it all darn it, and the sister missionaries in my district have been working really well and have an investigator they wanted me to baptize this week but im leaving.... Ahhh but alright here it is, im going to BUENAVENTURA!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOOOLLYYY COWWW and even more IM GONNA BE ZONE LEADER THERE!!!!!! AHhhh man this is nuts, im telling you stop reading my email right now haha and look up buenaventura on youtube, so its such an interesting place, ive heard its really pretty, extremely tropical, but really hot and waaaayyyy humid, and parts of it are nice but most of it is suuuuuper poor.... it will probably be even more of a culture shock again, but so everyone there is african too and they talk sooooo dang fast hahaha shoooot im not gonna understand a single thing anyone says for the first few months probably!!! I was finally getting pretty good at understanding the natives here but now im going back into the world of the newb gringo who doesnt understand anyone, but worse yet ive got to be the zone leader while i do it!!!
Ahhh ya well theres that haha i should have a pretty interesting email next week after my first week there, but im stoooked too!!! Nobody ever wants to leave that zone and most people whove served there and in a lot of other areas, my trainer included, have said its the sweetest zone here!!!
Alright, moving on, some good stories haha from the week! First off, our good friend member here who always gives us a ride to the church in his truck which we ride in the back of bought a new car this week, a suuuper old little thing, almost like a mini cooper, and ya you can sure bet that thing broke down on us haha... we were driving to ward council wednesday night darn it when the car was kind enough to get us over the first of two bridges coming into cali, but crumbled in fear and shut off on us upon seeing the second bridge. So ya we had a. hmm, whats the word, ``blast`` pushing that little yet surprisingly heavy car over the big hill which is the second bridge coming into cali right before the chapel haha... no so it actually was way funny though, hard but enjoyable haha i filmed a sweet video of it but unfortunatley we cant send videos, so youll have to enjoy it in a year and a half, but ive got some sweet fotos on the way!!! So ya haha it was fun having all the people drive by with the weirdest looks on their face as they saw two guys, one a bright glowing gringo, with white shirts and ties pushing this little car in the middle of teh highway haha!!! And then it coasted down finally over the other side, and the sister missionaries happened to pass by in a bus and saw us, so when they went and got to the chapel they sent all the members out to help us and it was all good...
alright moving on, friday we put on a sweeeet activity!!! Each missionary made food from their own country and we brought it all to the chapel to have an activity where the members could bring friends, new investigators, and try all the diferent cultural food.. so i haha dad youll love this, i made 120 pancakes in 2 hours!!!!! HOLLY COOWWW hahaha maybe as productive as ive ever been in my life!!! In our tiny tiny little kitchen, with a plastic table and two stoves on top like the ones we use on camp'outs, i flipped pancakes for 2 hours strait haha and made 120!!!! Ahhh man was i sweating and sore after haha but it was fun!! The activity went great too!!!! But it went late and we didnt have time to travel back to our area here so we stayed with the elders there in cali in their apartment, and most of the houses of the missonaries have alteast 3 beds if not 4, but theirs only has the 2, so my comp and i had to sleep on the hard tile floor haha darn it i didnt sleep much that night but its all good...
alright shoot im already out of time, but as always thanks soooo much for the emails i love them always!!! I miss you but am loooving my job here and really happy here!!!!! Tuve una experiencia muy especial esta semana tambièn, bueno pues tuve muchos jaja pero no me sobra tiempo para contarles todos, pero tenemos una investigadora nueva que es muy buena, muy educada, pero muy ocupada con sus estudios, pero leìmos el libro de mormon con ella y solamente le pedimos que orara para preguntar si es verdad, y para pedir ayuda con algo que necesite de Dios, y ella lo hizo y ayer nos digo que funcionò!!! Ella no podìa creer la respuesta que tuvo y ahora quiere aprender muchisimo màs y nos dijo que siemre traemos una paz muy especial cuando le visitamos! Era muy especial para mi compañero y para mì escuchar eso, y es por eso que estoy tan contento aquì! Sè que lo que ella ha sentido es el Espìritu Santo, y que lo sentimos porque nuestro Padre en el Cielo nos ama, en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen.
les amo
nos vemos
