Week 14!

hahaha hey there my good old family!!!!

thanks for the pic i really love it!!!  haha i'm glad to hear that you got the letter i sent!  it took about tree and a half weeks to get there WOW  this week i went on a two day division with a latino, his name is Elder Arancibia, he's a chileno and knows NO english.  i think that i'm getting better and better at spanish because i really didn't have a problem talking to him the whole time we were together.  it was a lot of fun!!!!  FUNNY STORY, while we were on our divisionson the second day (Wednesday) we had to stop working about two hours early because Elder Arancibia had a little problem,  he was "chafting" WAY BAD hahaha it was soo stinking funny because i didn't get what he was saying and he had to discribe it to me because i didn't know the word he used for it!  haha it was definitely a funny experience.  also this week we had to go to a different area (Nuevo Paysandù) because my Comp is a District Leader and he had to do a baptismal interview.  it was for this really old lady who was one of the sweetest ladies i've met here.  she was having some personal doubts about getting baptized because of the "Law of Tithing" because she thought that you had to give a TON of money to the church for tithing so we talked with her for like a half an hour on what tithing is and she ended up being great!  i talked to the elders who taught her and they said that they have taught her about three or four times about the law of tithing so it was kind of weird that she had that doubt again, but oh well.   this week i have been pretty sick... :(  not too much fun...  i got a really bad cough, headaches, and lots of SNOT.  but i'm starting to feel better now, it was pretty annoying because it was so bad that i couldn't go out and work on saturday...  both of us were practically dying on saturday.  and this week on sunday was quite an interresting day.  there was less than 20 people at sacrement meeting...  probably only 15 people were at church...  we are working the hardest we can!!!  hey i was thinking that for christmas i would call you so you can get the number and then you guys could call me back does that sound good?  i can't wait to hear more from you!!! (none of your letters or packages have gotten here yet)  but it's all good!!!!

LOVE YA,
