Hows it going?  So it turns out I got my weeks messed up and last week someone told me it was Thanksgiving. 

So, for Thanksgiving me and the 3 other elders with me made a little Thanksgiving dinner.  I made some melinesa, elder moro made some guac and noodles elder harker had some stuffing his family sent him and we had a cute little meal.  We all said what we were thankful for and it felt like home. 

This week went by really fast.  It consisted of a lot of walking and a lot of sweating and teaching.  One day we walked what felt like for 3 miles to teach an investigator and he wasn't there so we talked with his neighbors and turns out they were baptized like 20 years ago and had pictures and everything.  It made the long walk worth it. The one thing here that is super frustrating is that no one gets married or wants to so its my goal to teach them why they should get married so they can get baptized.

My Spanish is getting better.  The thing I realized is that I'm my worst enemy with the language.  When I'm frustrated, I can't speak but when I'm stress free about it I can talk.  I just need a chill pill every once in a while I guess. Whenever I get frustrated I speak in English.  My comp decided that he wants to learn English last week probably because I spoke a ton of English.  I know Spanish, I understand what people say and I can read and understand but the thing that kills me is talking.  My tongue doesn't move like the Latins.  It is very challenging.  Anyways, this week was a good week.  My comp and I work really hard and sometimes its hard to keep up with him but I'm trying. 

The missionaries here are famous.  I feel like a rockstar half the time. 

Hope everyone had a super duper thanksgiving.  Love you lots
