Chanchos and Donkeys, Chocolate Bars, and Fixing a Flat Tire

Well that slingshot I bought for a dollar has really been a good time.  It has broken twice and I have fixed it twice.  Ha ha, when you shoot donkeys, cows or dogs they don't do much but when what is really fun is when you shoot a pig they scream so it's pretty fun to have it around. ha-ha!

Lunes- P-day lots of fútbol which is way dope I have gotten a lot better and I can score one or two goals every week now.  It's really dope, but after about 20 minutes you are dying because there is no air here ha ha but it's way fun.

Martes- my comp did not feel too good in the afternoon so we came home and he just took a nap, when your comp is sick or you it's super boring but he is all good.

Miercoles- we have this one way cool chica that we found last week and this week we finally talked to her and just to give you an update almost everyone here is really confused on our message and does not understand very well, so when we get someone who understands really quick it's way awesome, we teach this gal called Sandra and she is way cool and read the whole pamphlet that we gave her and after our message she was having questions about what's after this life, so boom! lesson 2 plan de salvación ! and we gave here a BOM too, she lives in like fields and a dirt house so she is really humble and we have another lesson with her this week.

Jueves- I don{t know what happened this day but something that is really funny is we have this one store where we always buy a chocolate bar thing and one time we tried to contact her and I asked her what her name was and she just responded with I'm a Jehovah Witness.. but we still go there cause the chocolate bars are really good.

Viernes- we have these little pueblos that are outside of the main area so you need to take these like taxis, which is kinda like hitch hiking ha ha but the road is super windy and this dude was driving who was super crazy, and each corner you can't really see behind it, when we went around this one corner and there was a huge rock pile! So the dude dodged it with his first front tires but then with his back we hit a part of the pile as big as a curb, and we were flying, so of course or heads hit the roof along with the other 5 people in the car and he stops to see what happened and he had popped his tire so bad that it came off the rim and then the rim had a huge dent in it! Super nuts, but do you think this guy knew how to change a tire? NOPE! So guess who had to do it? yup the two gringos! So we hoped out and got it all and we went on our way, also we still had to pay..

Sabado- we started a new activity in the church where we clean the church and then play futbol after and this week was the first time and we had two members come and two investigators! it was way dope we played for about an hour with them and it was a lot of success because they said they will invite all their friends next time

Domingo- chill Sunday here in Betanzos we had 30 members come to church! which is probably a world record here, so I blessed the sacrament with a member and my comp lead the hymns and after we both gave talks again ha ha, my study's now are just preparing talks and we then gave the class for the third hour. We only have the two councilors here and then our bishop is really really sick in Argentina so we are lacking leaders here.

yeah all is pretty dope here in Betanzos.  We are trying to work really hard with the members that we have and trying to find new ones! Love ya all.  All is well down here!

Yeah, the internet that we are in right now is the worst, the USB drives don't work so maybe a ton of photos next week sorry fam
te amo
