Well family, i might beat the record for the most companions in a mission. We had emergency changes two days ago because my comp was doing some bad things on the cellephone and they found out and i got a new comp Elder Villa. HAHA this is my fourth different companion in the month of October. But it's all good because Elder Villa is a flat out rockstar. He is from Colombia and has nine months in the mission. He is great and i am learning so much and he just wants to work. He's a convert to the church for 19 months and he is flat out great. I always laugh at him because when we return to our house in the night he always wears these shorts that are like four inches shorter than his garments and its way funny and he brought a keyboard with him but he is flat out terrible at playing but he just keeps practicing haha so im hoping i can stay with him for a while here cause i know we can have success.

Its been a little interesting because we are both basically new here. Its pretty much like opening an area and we don't know many people and we are lost quite a lot haha but we did go to google earth today and print off some maps so hopefully that will help us. We still have no idea how the transportation works here and we had interviews with president in the morning and it was quite a journey to get there. But on the bright side we found a walmart in the  city and we went and walked around in it today and it was pretty sweet.

Besides being lost alot and emergency changes we had a pretty good week. Patricia the investigator we found came to church again yesterday and she is flat out gold. We put a date for her for for the 22 of november and she accepted. She is just wanting to find peace and happiness in her life and she is willing to do whatever we ask her. She has prayed and she says she always just feels great afterwards and at peace in the church. So all is good with here.

We also put two baptismal dates with two of the people in the Rodrigues family for the same date. Dulce who is twelve, but whe didnt come to church yesterday and Carla who is nine who came to church yesterday with roman and her mom and sister so that is sweet. SHe is great and loves church and the primary SHes even going to be in the primary program in a couple weeks and went to practice yesterday in the evening so that is sweet.

We also started to teaching Alejandra this week. She is nine years old and in the daughter of less actives and basically just needs all the lessons for baptisms and we should put a date for her this upcoming week. Its so different here cause like everyone were teaching is under 23 years old but i like it because they are much more willing to change then old people haha.

SO my funny story of the week. We were contacting yesterday and i always have the church cards in my shirt pocket and also i have my picture of our family that mom sent me in the same pocket. So i contacted two ladies and i gave them each a card and i was teeling them about how we had our number on the card and i could tell one of them was confused. Then i looked and realized i gave her the picture of my family hahaha needless to say i took it back and gave her a normal one.

Thats about it. All is well here and im lovin this area. Dad i am finally starting to get your dear elders a lot faster and am almost caught up. I have not found real milk here but the food is at least better in this part and we eat other things that just weird soup. We have members with a bakery and pizza place and we always eat there so thats sweet. Mom i cant believe we got a new car but its the same exact car but newer. Thats so boring haha but ill be glad for the lesser miles it has when i take it to college woo woo. Roo congrats on the rewards in your banquet but when you have mvp every year like me in soccer then you can come talk to me hahahaha jk buddy im way proud of you and keep up the good work but im tellin you now you will still never be able to beat me. I love you guys. and have a great week
