so things are going well. 

we are having fun. i just started to goof around more. ha i literally have an ipod in my head and just hit next until i find a good song to sing haha but it keeps me busy.

all the other baptisms we have had. usually when they come out everyone is like yay and claps, which i didnt like much, but this one, every one was just quiet. and it was so powerful. she just cried and hugged her non member mom who was crying and the sisters. it was just cool.

had a lot of firsts this week. just seein some weird stuff. weird stuff happening. 

we were in the area of the hermanas to eat at a members. oh, guizo, super delicious. but we were walkin out and this guy called us over. so we talk and he was from another town, we were just talking, not teaching or even talking about religion, well then his buddy came... haha just staring us down, well it was his house. well long story short he got mad that we were there and we got thrown out, haha but i thought it was funny. we got a couple blocks away before i let myself laugh. but yeah. good stuff. even getting rejected is funny here. =) 

uh, i forgot to write my notes in my little book so i dont remember anything from this week. 

we put our chairs on the roof last night and passed numbers and stuff which was fun.
