hey.. *we went to muchas aguas.. it's 2 hours walking, but we hitch hiked a lot of the way there and back.. and then we did 2 more hours walking once we were actually there too *it's pretty cool, and everyone who goes through my area always has to go there, so now i can say i went right before leaving *yah so there's supposed to be transferrs news again this sunday, so we'll see if i actually leave, or if i stay for a 5th transfer *we had a "mission tour" which was just a regular zone conference, but with elder gabarett and his wife there.. he's some kind of 70s guy (mayyybe the area 70 president? i think someone was saying that? *we always get sick after the food at zone conferences which is super fun *we went to a surprise birthday party for a member, that wasn't exactly planned super stratigicaly, so it was a lot of rolling dough into tiny football shaped things to make "domplin" (sort of a dumpling soup?) and then throwing them into the giant pot over the fire.. and playing with the three crazy kids there.. and then playing with a bunch of random kids who live in the little neighborhood thingy sort of? that's around the house we were doing it at.. and then a lot of waiting for the member who's birthday it was to show up.. whichhh didn't happen before we had to be home, but it probably turned out well *we had a baptism on saturday.. first one of my mission.. it was super cool to be able to find someone, teach them all the lessons, and then watch them be baptized *we got transfer news, and i'm leaving for the first tlme.. going somewhere called duarte? so this will be interesting anyways tho, love you guys, have a good week! 3 nephi 14-15 Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me. Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

vroooom vroom.. *there's an amazon store in my area now.. which means i can go in there and order things from amazon, and it will ship to the store.. it costs a little extra and everything, but my shoes are a bit holy.. so i got some new ones.. we'll see when they actually decide to show up *also on monday, i saw on somebody's story from san cristobal, that there had been some kind of huge explosion.. a ton of people hurt.. killed.. it took out 3 buildings completely.. and damaged a ton of other buildings too.. *so that was super random.. i had lived in cambita before, which is technically part of san cristobal.. it's about 20 min away, but i've been to san cristobal many times before, since i lived over there for 6 months *but anyways, one of the other nights, we were teaching this lady, and going over the plan of salvation, or the plan of heavenly father (it's now called) and we asked her why she thinks we are here on the earth.. and she kinda jokingl...

thank goodness to elder helquist here who could confirm that L was the correct number... *welll.. it's been an interesting week for sure *we've stayed at home about half of the days because of sickness *but for the first time in my mission, it's not me who's sick *my comp has some kind of ameba parasite *i won't go into the details of what that actually means (cuz i have no idea) but the symptoms are pretty weird *but we weren't really sure what was going on for a while, and we had to go to the hospital like 3 or 4 times to get all of the tests and everything done for them to be sure *but he's been doing better for the last couple days, and he got a tonnn of medicine *he has two types of pills.. one he has to take every 12 hours for 7 days.. the other he has to take once every day for the next month *and then the last one is a kind of little liquid stuff that he says doesn't really have much flavor, it's just kinda oily *anyways tho, h...

weeee had transfers.. said goodbye to canada boy, and i have received a new comp.. we got a call on tuesday before transfers, and pres told me i was gonna be training again.. i thought it would be a gringo, cuz usually there are more gringos that come in at this time of year than latinos.. buttt at these transfers there was only one gringo elder that came in.. sooo i got elder Ibargüen.. he's from panama, so he speaks spanish, and he was studying english before the mission so he knows a little.. annnd he was called to speak haitian creole.. which is a littttle awkward not gonna lie, cuz i definitely don't be speaking such language.. cuzzz i wanted to focus on mastering spanish (which i am still far from).. and the other thing, is that there aren't any haitain speaking wards or even branches in our mission.. annnd because of that, there are no sacrament meetings in haitain.. sooo i haven't put any emphasis in teaching in creole, because they n...
