So this week was full of ups and downs. Me and my comp are getting a better grip on the area. But we still hardly know any of the members. But we're talking with EVERYONE!!! We're contacting like crazy and it's really fun because we talk with a lot of funny people. It's also sad because we talk with a lot of people that were deported from the states and now they're stuck here with no job, house, or family. The whole situation with the border is really ugly. But it's amazing that even in a sad situation these people can be so happy!!!
Humility has been a huge lesson that I've had to learn here on the mission. Especially with my new comp. He's about a foot shorter than me and barely weighs over 100. Nobody believes that he's a missionary because he looks like a deacon. But let me be the first to tell you that he is the hardest working comp that I have ever been with. He's an amazing example of silent strength. We're getting along great and we're going to have a lot of success together! Also, my branch is almost pure gringos!!! They're all on vacation here in Pencasco, so almost every Sunday our branch is full of gringos. They all come and talk to me because I'm the only gringo missionary here. "So where are you from?" "Utah? Oh how cool, so are we...." And speaking English is super hard and I don't like how it sounds. I'm not going to like speaking English when coming home....
General Conference is this weekend!!! A year ago I was in the MTC singing... crazy. I hope you all watch it and learn something new!! Before the mission I never really listened to general conference, but here in the mission it's like a giant party for us missionaries!!! I love you all!!!

I don't want to pay for haircuts so I asked some guy to cut my hair and then we taught him a lesson:)
We had a zone activity today. We played volleyball with water balloons. We were taking the group picture and I got a bucket of water. Right before we took the pic I splashed the water on everyone. That's why everyone is surprised and I'm all chill:)
I had the awesome opportunity to baptize the investigator of the misioneras. It was a really cool spiritual experience
In our area we have a less active member named Flavio and he has a restaurant on the ocean and he offered to give us all our food free so.... we couldn't resist going today:) I drank about 4 Pina Coladas and had some awesome fish tacos:) my mission is so tough.....
No really!! It's tough!!
