STILL IN NEED OF NEWBIES. I DON'T THINK THAT WILL EVER CHANGE. BUT WE ARE WORKING HARD.

hey mommie

sounds like you had a lot of birthdays back home. i miss the food! jaja. well tell everyone that had a birthday happy birthday for me, please? a typical p day. wake up, eat breakfast. study. buy groceries, make lunch. do laundry. take a nap. go to the ciber, write you. then work. then go home and plan and go to bed. sometimes we go to centro and look around to buy stuff, but i havent really bought anything yet. i am going to do trunky shopping at the end of the mission. the weather here blows. literally. the wind is blowing all the time, and there is a lot of dirt and dust. i have had a sore throat since i got here. my throat i think isnt handling all this dirt that well. so all last week i was sick. i had stomach pain and headaches. didnt work tuesday. but we worked the other days. i think the food here is different from the other areas. its not fun. believe me jaja. its starting to get hot here too. so in this area, the people dont understand me. i dont know if i told you that but they just dont understand how i talk. everyone in my last two areas understood me. but here noone does. so the Lord is humbling me a little bit i think.

onto the week. so, we didnt really have any success working until about saturday. the stake mission leader came out and did visitas with us and it went great with all but one of the lessons. we went by this familia. they are a family of eight, the dad, and two daughters are baptized. the mom still not and another son is not. so we are working with them. we went by with the stake mission leader and he basically dropped the cane on the dad. i felt it went horrible. so we got a call later that night from the dad. he sounded angry and he said we should call before passing by his house. normally we pass by whenever and they attend to us. so that was wierd. but yesterday, sunday, we had a lesson with him and figured things out. he told us what he was thinking and we solved his problems/doubts. and then last night, we found three people. a couple and a friend of theirs. they let us into their house and we came them a brief resumen of the first two lessons because they had a lot of questions. they also ended up giving us an asado! it was amazing. so we are going back to their house on thursday because he is in the military and will be gone until then. so yeah, we are here for now. still in need of newbies. i dont think that will ever change. but we are working hard. i have walked quite a bit here in toay. o and we may have found an apartment here! so i am praying that we get it. well mom i love you! take care! chauz!
