Week 69 (September 11, 2017)

Well this week was very adventurous to say the least. I will explain it through the pictures that I took throughout the week. I apologize that they aren't in order. 

So one day we were walking and we came across this river that had been dammed to make a little pond and some kids were swimming in it. We watched as they climbed in an old fridge and floated on the pond, or they flipped it over and either climbed on top or hung out underneath. We ended up teaching every one of those kids on a latter occasion. Also on another occasion my comp got in the fridge and floated on the water like a boat, but it was super unstable and he fell in!!! It wasn't deep and he didn't get too wet but it was at least waist deep!! He was wet the entire day. 

We went to the house of some members after helping bring their groceries up the hill to their house and we sat down for a second and they handed me their baby and said I had to adopt her and teach her English, obviously joking but it was fun to mess with them about it. 

On Saturday we had a baptism, I didn't really know her super well but she was cool, just someone from a part member family. The ward mission leader baptized her. 

So this morning we woke up super early to go out and take advantage of our P-Day. We woke up at 3:30 and went out to some rocks on the ocean to make a fire and watch the sunrise over the ocean. That was legit! So much fun hiking in the rocks. Then we went to the city and I bought some new shoes. I got sick of all my shoes breaking on me and so I wanted something higher quality. So I found some really nice Timberland boots for 160. We looked in every store for a lower price but only found higher ones. So I took the money I had and looked for an off brand of the same shoe, but the quality was terrible. So I looked and found a decent pair for 75 but they didn't have my size and they brought out some others but didn't have the color I wanted they brought some out and I just looked and said, "these are ugly" and the owner of the shop looks at the salesman and just says, " I have one more that size that we can't sell, its the only one left, give it to him for 100." So I bought the shoes for 100 dollars, it was sweet!!! I like them, even if I know that the gringos don't usually wear timberland's, I don't really feel gringo anymore. 

Also some members own a turtle so I took a picture of it. Its huge!!! 

Other than that all is going great!!! We are super excited to work and just go hard!! On Thursday we had 17 new investigators!!! Its so great!! I love this area!!!
