Jan. 13, 2014

ok. so super short review of the week.

we had a leader training wednesday. but im not a leader so while my comp went to that i got to work in rosario. that was super fun. first little taste of being with a comp who cant speak. and i loved it! ha yeah we had fun. played that shirt game scott taught me.

so blew my mind. Peruvian horses dance!!! no time to explain it cause frankly my mind still cant comprehend what i heard. but yeah. it was nuts. so look up videos and tell me if its as crazy as i think. basically they dance on two feet like people. INSANE! an hermana in my district did it at home. ha weird.

so apparently there is a boxing champ named burner whitaker or something. so if you could look that up. everyone keeps talking about him. so yeah.

uh, oh we got caught in a huge rain storm. and yet. i was still sweating. ha that was terrible. we got home completely soaked. we walked in a shower for forty minutes basically.

ha a couple days ago i stopped, sweating, so that was good, but i got nervous and turned on the heater. cant change too fast right? haha

but seriously, i actually got cold this morning. that was awesome! i have used my blanket the last two nights. so yeah. big changes going on down here.

hopefully all is well. the work is going great. having a lot of fun. i have figured out the secret. just be goofy and enjoy it. =) and its working. but these people just refuse to go to church!!! but we are going to change that this week.

funny story. we were contacting. i clapped and this old guy came out looking all grumpy, so i put on the charm and went up to shake his hand and talk to him. when i got there i put out my hand while i was talking, he just looked at me till i stopped, looked at my hand, and said No. hahaha and that was it. hahahaha we ended it and all that routine and left, when we turned the corner, i lost it. haha i laughed so hard. yeah super funny.

"Sign of Destiny"

ha btw. my new nickname is tesoro. we were walking and i said hi to this guy. he said hi to me and i kept walking. but to the sister behind me, a little louder, he said chao tesoro. which means basically see ya treasure. haha but everyone thought he said it to me!!! so yeah. that was kinda funny too. oh and my comp bought a sombrero for the sun. and ha yeah i have too much self respect still to wear one. i will send a pic of it next week. he bought it like two hours ago and loves it. haha

this is my sign of destiny. some day i will play it. we wanted to do it with me elder sisk and elder stevens but we couldnt. elder stevens goes home to utah in two weeks!

elder stevens, elder sisk, and then one other elder  makes up the golf crew. haha people are funny

oh and i have a trial exchange coming up. where you go on exchange with your zone leader, if youre new, and they see if you are ready to take over the area or train. so we will see how that goes. =) but that will be the 21 of this month so there is still time to practice faking like i know what im doing. =)

but yeah i am enjoying myself.

this is me and my comp after getting caught in a huge rainstorm and having to walk thirty minutes in the pouring rain.

Poor Daisy the dog!

the dog is super funny. she used to look like a border collie, but then we left for church one morning, came back and she was shaved! haha and we just joked with it, like oh Daisy what happened!!! and she gets all embarrassed and walks away or backs up awkwardly looking at us haha super funny.

love all you so much!

Besitos de amor!
