HOLA

so this was a great week! when we went to la louisiana we hitched a ride in the back of a truck with some huge pigs haha. we got a good kick our of it. then while there we played with the cows and were acting like matadors. i got some good videos...but they wont send so ill have to share them when i get home. we worked really hard this whole week though. my comp and i have been striving to raise the bar and we set some pretty high goals of working with members and contacting, but on thursday and friday we totally achieved them all! we were really happy. then we came here to la Junta for General Conference. i sat with Elder Smith in the secretaries office to watch it in english. thanks mom for the package you sent, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! the only bad thing is that on sunday morning i woke up sick, but i got ready and we went to the church.....but then i spent an hour in the bathroom....throwing up is the worst thing in the world to me. seriously i hate it so much haha. it was funny though because i came out of the stall and my comp was there and laughed because of how yellow i was. i looked in the mirror and started laughing too because i looked SO yellow. and it was especially funny because i few days earlier we had heard that joke about white people changing colors for everything and that black people are called colored people for no reason haha. but the good part is that i got myself together in time to watch conference and it was so awesome. i loved every bit of it. i was feeling well enough to focus and everything. then right as it ended....adios. i felt like garbage again haha. but i'm totally okay with that because i got to watch conference. and now i feel great! well that's about it for this week! i hope you all have a great week! love you!

HOLA

Alright this was an awesome week! so on monday we worked super hard and got a TON of work done and found new people and it was just an all around awesome day. then on wednesday we went to the luisiana and helped Chapelo cut and stack corn. i got to eat some cane sugar. then on thursday we went and visited Cristina who is preparing to be baptized for the 17th of october. so we went there and helped her clean up her patio then afterwards we had an AWESOME lesson with her. at the end of it we were teaching abut fasting then she said "wait wait wait, i'm still gonna get baptized on the 17th right? like we are still gonna do that right? cause i'm always thinking about it and i'm getting ready to do it." we were like uhmm yeah we are gonna do that for sure haha. it was so cool. and she wants to fast the day before so we are going to fast with her. she is so cool and is doing all she can to stop smoking. i know she can do it. the Lord will help her overcome whatever she needs to so that she can be baptized. we have been working a bunch and i'm really enjoying the mission. its such a privilege to represent the Lord. and i have the greatest time doing it. well that's about all the time i have for today! have a great week!
