Jan 24

well ill be hitting the quarter mark in my mission in 4 days. thats exciting but also scary. i like being out here and time is going by really fast.

so to start this week off i had divisions with another elder from the dominican rep. was a good time and he taught me to step up and not to take crap from my comp as i do. was a really good time. the fair in sanse hit. was really fun and dangerous. there were so so so many drunks in the streets so we stayed in the house on of the nights. that night the neighbors were blasting music and fireworks were all over yet again. this city likes to party. with the fair comes a food that is really ´´good´´ its called Chojin (cho-hing) its a soup with some meat carrots and this green veg. i dont know the name of... but the day of the fair i had 3 bowls of it.... im glad to say that its a one time of year thing for me ....  the fair is slowly dying off here which is good for our progression and finding people looking for the work.

so here we have what is called noche de mandimento. its basically a FHE with the ward. well i got picked for the lesson. all i can say is that i was terrified but i planned a good lesson apparently. D&C 88 119, about establishing diffrent houses. was a good learning about that and about how well i have progressed in spanish... this week was a little rough for me. but i try to keep my head up and keep going.

well know how i talked about iguana last week. well saturday the family had them again... freak!! they killed 3 of them and cooked the eggs for us. taste the same like a chicken egg but was i hungry after seeing the process of slitting the throught of it... not really. but thats life i guess..  then they invited us to dinner on sunday... well that night i told the DL that i wanted divisions for this night. so he could enjoy the iguana. so thats what happend. so a blessing for me there ha ha..

this week not alot planned just going on with our plans. we have a baptism schedualed and such this weekend so im stoked for that. i still cant belive that im a quater done with this... crazy but i know there is still work to be done here!

i love you all and hope everything in chilly utah is going good
