¡Hola a todos! ¿Como estan?

 

Bleh this week has been crazy. I have been mildly sick all week and we are still working so I am dead tired by the end of the day.

 

News on the finger. Got Xrays taken earlier today and it is most definantly broken... Actually alot worse then I thought it would be. I took pictures of the Xray and I will attach them. What they said is I will have to get it rebroken, it probably isnt an option to say no. I had to pay for the Xray but the church is going to pay me back. $260 pesos isnt much anyways, like $15-20 Dollars. The church is going to pay for the rest I think as well. If not I have my card.

 

All the people have to do is sign a few papers, show them birth certificates, and thats all. Its crazy, but yeah.

 

Yep investigators are going crazy this week, we have a bunch of news, and some are pretty promising. We have this one younger lady, Neilly, and she is really interested, the only hard thing is finding her... hahaha, she is never home. Then we have Joel as well, his wife actually died a week or two ago and so he is pretty much a shiny golden investigator, haha. Is it bad that people who have had recent losts are usually the most receptive?

 

Pork chops here are like super delicious. I dont know if its the lack of me having it for a while, or they cook better but they were delicious. We had something similar yesterday after church. They actually love Spaghetti here. It is different but it is similar. Sadly no Sloppy Joes.... MAybe one day... haha.

 

Yeah baptizms on the giving end are alot cooler! You feel that warmth like a pillar of fire annnnd you feel the love for the investigator. Really cool though. Although, now with my finger I dont know if I will be able to baptize for a while until it is healed.

 

Ok real quick with the pictures=

1 and 2 are pictures of the Xray of my finger...Obviously it is broken. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

3 and 4 are some sketches I have done while I have spare time at night before bed.

5 and 6 are more of the buildings in downtown. They are AMAZING! The only bad thing is they are Catholic and so there are Virgin de Guadalupe figures all over.

7 is Guadalupe at his baptizm. He wanted Barben to do the ordinance.

8 is my baptizm this last Saturday nigh from left to right=Oscar Mario Rosa and Jose. Rosa and Jose are the ones we married.

 

Ok. Now time for news of my happenings. Barben had to go to the immigration office this last tuesday and so I got to go on splits with the Zone Leaders.

 

Remember picture 8, yeah so we baptized them this last Saturday, it was amazing and they were all so happy, this is pretty much the rest of the big family of 12 we had. The only one we lack is Teresa, the Mom. She is being pretty stubborn because she doesnt want to change. We will get her eventually though. Funny story about the baptizm. None of them could fit into the overalls we had and so we had to give them our clothes/squeeze them into some of the backup clothes. so that is why there shirts are reaaaallly tight on them.

 

This Sunday was Stake Conference and so the meetings were all weekend. Sadly though I barely understood anything. President spoke and so that was really cool, he is so good at giving talks and I can understand the most of what he says.

 

Me and my companion got into a fight... not really just a joke.... over 2 pesos, which is like 25 cents. It was so funny.

 

Hmmmmm.... cant think of anything else that has heppened. Pretty much the same as usual.

 

Well, I hope everything goes well this week and what not. Dont worry about my finger President knows were the best doctors are and so I will be taken care of.

 

Oh, before I forget, news on Spanish I am getting alot better at creating sentences and what not. Understanding is still hard but yeah, I am all good, I know I will get it.

 

Ok, well I got to run, talk to you all next week

 

Les amo y que tengan una buena semana. Cuidense.
