Sweat in the eyes!

 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 in spanish.... it was so funny. After we got to go to bishops wifes parents house in their truck after. There was a lot of us in a extended cab tocoma so there was a few in the bed. I dont know how things still function down here. Just driving down the road the belt sounded like it was about to burst. The smell of burning oil and the steering wheel shaking like the tires were bout to fall off. The only thing left on the inside was the seats i could see the road in parts of the floor board. Its a upgrade here so when they wash the inside it just drains. We made it and got to eat in their house. It really reminded me of hunting in mexico chickens going crazy a camp fire in the back and sitting under a shade behind the house in the heat and some gooooood food. After we went back to the church to meet up with all the gringos and we went to inactive members and they all shared somthing with them. I had a kid that loved to hunt and fish so you better know what i was doing the entire walk there and back. It made my whole month haha. This week we walked way up to this guy on a hill to share a lesson with him. About 5 minutes in the ground shook and the house started to creak. It lasted only 3 seconds or so but it hit hard my heart droped i honestly freaked out like it moved so much ive never experienced that before. Now i want it again but i dont want it to do damage you know. They keep telling us watch out for the big one its coming. Apparently every 100 years there is like 9. Somthing earthquake and we are past 100 years soooo. But this week there has been so many little things that ive noticed that have made my day better that unless i was thinking about it i prolly would have missed. Everyday no matter what there are small or big things that can turn our day around and make it better! I hope yall have a good week and hope you look for the little things and recognize then. I just wrote half of this with four fat chicks in the back of a Toyota corala thing. I cant even wipe the sweat from going in my eyes oh What a joy.

  Well, this week has been full of surprises.We had to drop two of our people that we had on for baptism dates. But one of the other ones got pushed back A week so don't know if we'll have any baptism this transfer but. Been able to find a lot of cool new people And get to know them too. 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...

  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 ...

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.
