  This week has gone by so fast feels like it should be Wednesday or somthin. We have been very busy this week and have had a ton of lessons with some good people. Lots and lots of walking back and forth just because people can only meet at specific times. Its been soo hot its been crazy and its only getting hotter. When we get home even the water in the shower isent cool enough to make a difference it feels better but you get out and back to sweating pretty much. Lucky the waters been better so that hasent been a problem for us. We had 6 people come too church this week which is good but it is so hard for people here to continue to come and want to learn. They have a hard time leaving things behind or makeing a sacrifice for somthing. But this sunday we had a bus full of teenager's (Gringos) come to church they are doing some service thing here but. One of the kids played the piano because our ward dosent have anyone and he was alright. Then have a bunch of teenagers try to sing i...

  This week was a full one to say the least a lot happend. Lots of really touching experiences that were really cool! I got to go on a companion exchange and got to got to the heart of down down santiago. The elder i went with in charge of all social media and all the referrals that people put in. So i ended up not going out in the morning and just on a computer going through them and calling them. Crazy how many people hit the link and fill it out but then say they never did it haha. Like buddy you filled out your whole name email and phone number haha. But after that we got to go out for a little and met with this really old lazy. She was the sweetest person ever. Shes 81 and we got to talking and giving her a lesson and she told us a story that was pretty touching. She said one day she started to feel really hot and her skin started to look black including her face. She went to a doctor and she said it got worse and she said she was never going back. She picked up the bible and ...

  Well i officially hit 3 months out here! Prettt crazy time here has been slow but fast its a weird concept. Had a pretty good week! We were pretty busy this week and had a lot of lessons with people! As of right now we have 3 people that we have been teaching for a while and they are progressing and learning. We are teaching this lady named Griselda and she is soooo funny. She is always making jokes and trys her best to understand my spanish. Shes been in teaching for about 4 weeks and she is awsome! We even have our own little hand shake and when ever we pull up to her house no matter what shes doing she runs out the door and greets us with a smile. The other day we went on a adventure and went a little far and we looked at a map and we were like well to be back in time we just need to cut through this field and cross this river or go all the way around. So you know me i begged my companion to go through the field. Which wasent a field by the way more like a jungle... but we got...

  Yo yo this week been wack.. I woke up Tuesday morning to a phone call from the mission president. I was like oh no what did we do... he said pack you bags your going to Tamboril at 11:30 we were very confused at this point we didn't know why or nothing. After some later searching around we were switching houses with the hermanas because they had been followed by people multiple times and they dident feel safe. Soooo we were nominated or somthin to replace them hahha. But i was pumped because tamborin is outside of santiago city part. Its right on the edge of this giant mountain range and is sooooo pretty. We got their and the house was a freaking mess... girls are nasty bru. After some deep cleaning i was back to happy. Im loving it so much and the views are already so much better.

It was bad.... i must say the bugs and rodents here are getting worse, lot more bugs and spinders in the apartment and outside. Yuck giant spiders here.

This week was really busy between having zone conference and companion exchanges It was a pretty hectic week. I love walking in the streets.Cause all you hear's gringo, gringo, non-stop and all the little kids come running up to you and try to shake your hand and run their hands down your arm.Trying to slip the bracelet or watch or your ring off your fingers its pretty funny. I did find out that my companion elder Stafford is deathly deathly deathly Scared of spiders like it's not even funny. Last night I was in bed and I hear him screaming for his life. And I run out the door and hes like spider spider spider. He's like about to faint like bro, it's just a spider. And this thin...
