Vacaciones y copa mundial - Vacations & World Cup

Hey whats up fam! Another week has gone by and it was a pretty hard one. So as you know the World Cup is right now and I'm in South America where, everyone is watching it; like everyone. You can walk down a street and every store has the game on ha ha so its been fun but really hard to find more people to teach and to make it harder this week and the next one there is no school so it's even harder cause everyone is on vacation and visiting other areas with there family, so I don't really have much to report except for a lot of contacting and trying to find people in any way that we can!

But I do have some funny stories.  So one day in the morning I was making Mate, because I love mate and I was heating up the water and I heard a huge bang! like a firework or something so I turned around and I look at the plug in the wall and its just a huge flame! like two feet high just in the wall where I plugged in the water heater so it's just a huge flame and i'm blowing it out with my mouth ha ha but luckily this flame knocked the power out, so the flame went out too it was really funny but my comp was really mad cause he was showering and the hot water for the shower turned off but whatever haha our DueƱo fixed us up and he thought my story was funny but it's all good the power works and our house is fine.

So one thing that is really hard here is we have kinda a spider problem here. Last week I killed a spider that was about three inches in diameter and when I first saw it I though it was a mouse! Well I found another one this week and it was about the same size I threw my tag by it to show the size but this one is smaller! but when I killed it (cause my comp is too scared, both times) it made a huge like crunch like stepping on cereal! it was so nasty I hate Spiders.

Another photo that I put in my drive is me with Abarkas these are a type of shoe that everyone has here! like everyone, haha they are made from tires and are way heavy people use them for everything, making cement, working in the field or what ever they want haha and I had to get some they cost about 6 dollars so I felt fine about it.

Something that is really hard here in Sipe Sipe is working with the members they are all really cool and help us a lot but we try and meet with them too and visit them but there are only about 40 max members here so its kinda hard to find time to help them all, but I'm working hard on that and finding time for all of them, we had some lessons with members this week which was really dope and I love teaching members and its perfect for asking for references! but I love the work here and the ward, I hope I stay here for a while. But life is good my interview with President was really good and he told me my comp will leave this cambio (transfer) so I'm  happy for that.  I love you guys.  All is well!

I had photos of all the things I just talked about but i think my memory just got another virus on it, so I'll try and send them but I've been working on it for like 15 minutes and I can't figure it out, but I can retake them.

Love you guys.  Sorry, go look at the folder with E.Baros en Betanzos I put a photo of me and my Pensionista and her mom, they are the nicest people I have ever met and I love them so much.  Real bummer I only have one photo of them but it's better than nothing! (I didn't get any photos; so hopefully next week)
