Well this week was crazy haha we went with one of the zone leaders for a day because his comp was paying rent in another city with some other elders and well we were supèr far away from the house and it started raining but super hard for and 1 hour it rained like crazy so we were out in that we got soaked and the water in the streets was a little above our ankles haha so we looked like studs in a shirt and tie out in the water haha. then we had to give a blessing to a sister missionary that night but super late and we got back to our house at 1130 it sucked Well we have a kid on date for the 25th of march so im super happy to have a baptism because im sure he will be baptized so im excited and happy for that, but other than that a pretty slow week

Divisions Feb 27, 17

Well this week was pretty cool i went out to coronel suarez which is a 3 and a half hour bus ride and did divisions with the elders out there and well one night when i was with one elder and we didnt have keys or a cell phone and my comp and the other elder went to a BBQ and didnt get back till 11 we were so pissed because the rule is to be home at 9, it was so hot and humid that night we were constantly sweating and it sucked but it was cool me and elder gappmayor went on the roof and took photos while we waited and sat out side. we also gave a lesson in english to a man named roy i was a little nervous because i have never taught in English

but it was awesome i loved it i wish i could teach more in English. Also like 3 weeks ago i forgot to tell a story so me and my comp and 2 elders went to a buffet and we ate a ton and then went and played basketball and stuff in the hot sun, so we were feeling like crap and well so we got back and me and the 2 other americans drank a ton of water to make our selves throw up and we had me and another elder goin at the same time i was in the toilet and he was in the bidet( it washes your but after you use the restroom) but it was so funny and we threw up so much and we were laughing so much it was hilarious, we got it on video haha

So this week we had a super weird experience in a house, we knocked on there door and a lady answered the door in a dirty night gown like all scary movies happen and well she invited us in and i asked if there was a man in the house because we cant go in if there isn't a man and well i slurred my words alot and the whole time talking it was difficult for me, anyways there was a man there we never saw him though but we had contacted him during the week so we knew there was a man in the house so we went in and i felt weird the whole time like i didnt want to be there at all and talking to them was hard for me and yah they had a daughter commit suicide 17 years ago as well. Anyways at the end they asked me to pray and i blessed the house that the spirit could dwell there it was weird because i didnt think it, it just came out of my mouth when i said it. After we left my comp told me that he felt weird there and that something was bad in that house so it was really weird for us but a cool experience for us. thats about it for us i miss you guys and i love you all and sorry i havnet written in a while

Elder Steveson Conference Feb 1, 2017

Well this last week we had a conference with elder Stevenson and it was awesome i got to shake his hand and he gave me a double handed hand shake it was awesome haha he is so cool but what i like from when he came was:  i liked how he could only say one phrase at a time to let the translator translate because it gave me time to let each phrase set in. i liked how he talked about some simple things that i realized i wasn't doing while teaching, he opened my eyes on those things so that was awesome. he taught about blessings and how they come from our obedience and stuff like that so it was good to hear from him and he was so loving and was so excited to hear from us and see us and the whole mission got together. Also elder Stevenson wife asked the question are we the missionaries our mothers think we are? and are we the missionaries god wants us to be? they some things to think about for sure haha  Also things are real slow hear in the mission people just dont have faith or something because we used to teach a ton and now we teach once a week and im not sure why its happening because our finding efforts are so much stronger than before but its gonna take faith from me and many prayers haha anyways that's

all that has really happened lately
