so this week was so fast. and i have alot to talk about. in little time so pardon me for my grammer. ands stuff. so yeah. first off my companion doesnt like me hahaha i dont do things exactly the way he does. and he changes the schedule that i know is wrong so he gets mad. oh well. workin on that. but yeah. lets start with a postive spiritual note.
I feel like in the past two weeks i have learned more aobut the savior. myself. my future. and how to be a better man. than the next 10 years could have taught me. i lvoe it here. its hard and i miss home. i miss my family. i miss my brooke. i miss my life. but this is more important. im greatful for all god does for me. and all he is helping me learn. haha im so much better off. this will benifit my family and future family for the eternities. i need this. everywhere i struggle god helps me. when im scared to talk to people god helps me. and the people love it. they love to talk to people. its not weird or awkward.
now enough of the mushy gusy. liek the fried bannas here. gross. thats the one thing i dont like. i eat raw tomatos all the time. and i realized this is where dad learned to eat everything. haha i do too. it rocks. the people here boil bannans. which i was worried about when i saw it. the texture and all. but the texture is like. a potato. its. gross. but edible. hahaha that fried banna though. no.. no. no. ahhaha
so i got bit by a dog. twice. yeah. she had puppies and we have to walk past to get to 3 meetings. there is no other way. hahaha so yeah. she is so nice. but she is a momma dog. haha i know better. mom. dont come pick me up. i dont want you to see the dogs. and animals. and the poverty. haha its so sad. it breaks my heart.
so yeah. 2 earthquakes in the same day 4.5 and i dont know the second one. so that was so freaking... cool!!! im a missionary. i always feel safe so i just thought it was. cool. ahahaha wierd. than right before that. we were teaching our investigator who will be baptized next week. and in her house was a spider. the size of my hand like if my palm was the body. and my fingers were the legs. yeah. and they just left it. no one killed it. i was far away but if i had a pistol i would have shot the thing. they let it just walk into the bathroom. i still refuse. to use that bathroom. hahahaha i thought i wasnt afraid of spiders. but wow. this is different.
so the people here. ok. so i got mad at brooke. well not mad. but we got into a debate about the continents. and i guess. i am wrong. everywhere they teach that north and south america is one continent. but not in america. they think its so funny that we get taught wrong. hahaha whatever. who needs them. hahaha
so i guess fanny packs. are like. the bomb here. hahaha and they say chow. i have to stop myself from yelling. GGAAAAYY hahaha im a horrible human. its so funny to me.
so yesterday was election day. so everyone was outside. so hard to get anything done. hahaa lots of contacts though. so yeah. and the funerals. they carry down the middle of the street and they like the whole city. walk behind it. ahahaha wierd.
