Hola!

Welp another week in the mission has passed and it is time to write you again.  This past saturday One of our investigators got baptized! His name is Jorghino and he is a way cool kid.  13 years old.  My companion baptized him and i got to confirm him the next day in sacrament meeting.  So that was the climax of this week for sure.  

On Wednsday we were teaching an eternal investigator.  Which is to say they love the missionaries but never keep commitments.  She was a super nice lady and offered us some food.  So of course we said yes. I knew i had made the wrong decision when I saw her bringing a bowl of
soup with a chicken foot sticking out of it.  Yeah anyways that was interesting.  The next day we sanded and painted an entire house.  It wasnt very big so it didnt take too terribly long.  Then later that night we taught a lesson up in one of the hills.  The house didnt have electricity so we taught by candle light.  It was pretty cool.  

Other than that the language is improving.  A little bit every day.  Its going to take time but i know it will come sooner or later.  I cant wait for the day when i can understand everything and be able to properly express myself.  But i suppose the Lord is helping me develop patience. 

 The food here generally is actually delicous.  Im pretty sure im gaining weight because im eating a lot of food.  Walking down the streets here is like walking through the fairgrounds in Yakima with all the delicous smelling food.  So yeah I do eat a lot.  And its really good.  They sell churros on like every street corner but i try not to eat those too often.  Other than that not too much new news. Im sure there will be more next week.  

Miss you all and Love you.
