We had to drop an investigator because she stopped progressing. then the other missionaries had a baptism on saturday. and the church ran out of water, the engine from the tank broke, so we got some hoses and i had to cyphine (?) the water into the font. that was a good time. it was delayed 2 hours though. nothing else really this week. We had hamburgers for lunch. that was nice.

Good week. On wednesday we went on splits and I was with Elder Connolly for the day. we had to go to Central to pay some bills so the day wasn´t too effective. We also bought churros, those were good. Friday we woke up to go clean the church for the baptism, that took all morning. Then at night, we taught the family that is the very last house in our zone. It takes 59 minutes

 to walk home. solid. Saturday, we went to finish cleaning and setting up for the baptism.I wasn´t feeling to hot that day either, i think i was dehydrated. We then got to the church at 5:20 for the service. Once they showed up, we changed and took some pics. After that his wife pulled me aside and told me that he has a bad heart and that he is super nervous so she wanted me to talk to him and calm him down. So I grabbed my comp and we told him everything that he will need to know. Once it was time, we had to wait an extra 5 minutes because his brother in law was close to getting there. Once he arrived, we stepped into the font, and he stopped on the last step and paused for about 2 minutes. He was shaking and had his eyes closed. Elder Echeverria offered a prayer and we were golden. I was nervous because I didn´t want to mess up the words, but I nailed it. Then when I started dunking him, he tensed up and wouldn´t let me. I saw his wife and she was super worried, then after I helped him up he was super disoriented. He didn´t know what was going on and he thought we were done. We came to the conclusion that after the prayer, he would crouch down and then I would dunk him. So the second time, once I started dunking him, I could feel him start to tense up, but I just put him under. Once again he was super confused after. But his wife and Bro in law were there to make sure everything was good. Durnig his testimony he talked about how paranoid he gets around water, and how he couldn´t even shower by himself. But then he said, after the missionaries came and after he started reading the book of mormon, everthing started becoming better. After the first attempt, In my broken spanish im pretty sure I told him the only thing you need to worry about is to feel the spirit¨ I think that helped. Then after we had sandwiches and soda, then everybody left and we cleaned the church again. It was a great day! It can be hard out here, but I know that days like that day are the reasons i am out here, to see people grow closer to god and become strong in the church. It´s awesome.

Pretty solid week. Didnt do too much. On Wednesday I destroyed my head on a pole and I thought I was going to die. We broke out the Uno cards this week too and played that on P Day. We went to the stake center and played basketball with a bunch of the Elder. Monday was some sort of Holiday here so everything was closed and we weren´t able to email. then we found out that the internet place changed to a dog food store, so we had to find a new place to go. its a little further, but on the plus side, my drop box works now. We finished all the lessons with Hermano Ruiz Moreno, his baptism is THIS SATURDAY! pretty excited.

Monday i saw a guy crash into a car with his bullet bike.  Tuesday I went on splits with the zl. that was alright. we taught a lesson with two ladies that were breastfeeding at the same time. that sucked. i was glad to go home on wednesday. my area is way better. We started playing basketball in the mornings and my companion loves it. its way better than soccer. on sunday it was the primary program. I felt at home, because i can never understand anything that happens anyway. the first thing that happend in the program, a little girl was holding her sign upside down. so it said Familias Son Eternal, but eternal was upside down. everybody was laughing and she felt bad. Also this week i found out how  awesome DandC is. ive never read it before and im cruising through it right now. I love it. Not too much more this week.  Ruis Moreno family is good. she is trying to quit smoking right now. his baptism is in two weeks.

This week was slow. We had Stake conference this weekend. that is a two day adventure. there were three different sessions and the mission president came down for it. We had to go to central 4 times this week and its starting to suck. Especially because its not a weird thing for women to breastfeed in public. so we get on the bus and about 50% of the time somebody is breastfeeding. thats always a good time [thumbs down (fart noise)]

Idk if i told you but our last devotional was Chad Lewis. that was cool. and drop box doesnt work at the place we go so i cant upload pictures

also today is my one month mark and yesterday was my half birthday.

Tuesday: We taught the Ruis Moreno family and I extended the invitation for baptism, which they accepted. First saturday in december!

Wednesday: We were sitting in a lesson around 9 and the wind started going crazy. We gave them a Restoration pamphlet and got out of there. When we got home we were absolutely covered in dirt. It was nasty.

Thursday: My comp was super tired and worn out from the week and planning so we had a relax day and didn´t do too much in the night.

Friday: We finished a lesson and were walking too the bus and my comp said it was about to start coming down. He was right, the rain was crazier than the wind. After about 10 minutes I just accepted it and didn´t care. We were soaked though.

Saturday: Rained all day.

Sunday: Fast Sunday. Didn´t understand much in church again.

We had milinesa 4 times this week. Not a bad thing
