1/9

¡Oye familia!

First week into the year. Slow. But that mainly is because of the day of the kings, which is very similar to Christmas, they send ballons up into the air with a list of things they want and the 3 kings are suppose to come by that night and give them the stuff. Kindof wierd but its kindof like Santa Clause. One of our investigators, actually the big family asked us what we wanted and we, being 20 year olds, say Ferraris. The better part is the next day they give us Hot Wheels that are Ferraris. So funny. hahaha.

 

Yeah I feel now that my Spanish is getting better. At first I think it was more me being overwhelmed by that amount of people talking to me and me not understanding. When we arre talking Gospel I understand almost everyone, other talk, not so muhc. It is coming though, I can see it and so can my companion.

 

The temple was amazing! hahaha but sadly the visitors center is closed until December and so I probably wont get to see it again until then.

 

Dairy Queen here is exactly the same there in the USA. So yes I can get all the types of Blizzards and Cones, it is awesome. The only bad thing is I can only go on Mondays on Preperation Days.

 

Well, not much else happened this week, we had a 2 day mission meeting about the 6 steps, so that was cool.

 

We went back to that older man, Gaudalupe, that isn´t a member and he was there. He said he talked with his grandson about getting baptized and he said he would rather have us do it now, so that way in about a year he can get sealed to his wife and his grandson can be there for that. We are both really glad about that and we are baptizing him this Saturday.

 

We had someone slam a door in our face for the first time since I have been here. Not as bad as I thought it was, kindof made me laugh actually.

 

Remember when I told you I jammed my finger pretty bad? Well, it is still swollen, and to make a long stopry short we were going to go to the doctors but President and the zone leaders said if it was broken all the way through I wouldnt be able to move it as much as I kind right now, so they boith said to wrap it real good and just tough it out. I think its broken, but only hairline, so either way all the doctor would do is wrap it like I have it. If it doesnt better at all in like 3 weeks I will ask again to go to the doctor, I am pretty sure its good now though. only swollen, doesnt hurt, and I can move it pretty well. It only hurts when I hit it to something.

 

I think thats it, sorry for it being so short, but yeah. Next week is going to be busy, I can tell.
