HEY HEY HEY!! well this week has flown by!! it has been hard because there is elections and so people are always busy and a lot of our appointments fell through.... satan was working on me harder than hard, trying to get me down, but i am getting through it! i just focus on the spirit and what i am here to do! that helps a ton!! our bishop never stops amazing me!! he is such a hard worker and is always trying to go with us and visit people!! he is such a huge help especially since we are both new to the area. we got to meet some new people and teach a few families! we work a ton out here and are happy to do it!
It was weird knowing that conference was on and not being able to go and watch it! we were not able to preach either, so we studied allllll day.... haha but it was super good!! There is an election here right now so we cant congregate in areas, so I will watch conference next week. During elections there are huge parties every night, it's kind of funny, i love it!
sorry mom i haven't got my hair cut yet, i am getting it done tonight, i promise!
ok some big things that happened this week.
1. we had an appointment fall through and we didn't know what to do, so we decided to go and talk to this lady named july and her kids. we got to her house and started talking to her and her little kids invited me to play cards so i played while elder boyd talked, it was soooo fun! but thats not even the best part! after we were done playing we went over the restoration and Joseph Smith ( she is a member by the way ) and when we were done she said she had three friends she wanted us to talk too! so we set up an family home evening for tonight to watch a restoration video and teach them all there!! we are soo excited!! it is soo great!
2. the bishop came and played soccer with us in the morning and he was sooo funny!! he is seriously the best!!
3. we had a service project and we went to an old folks home. I made an awesome new friend!! his name is victor and he is 80 years old! he is sooo funny, he likes to eat cake and dance with "Abuelitas" (little grandmas) hahahahaha!!! i talked to him for a long time and i told him he was my best freind it was soo great!! 
4. another service was we went to a field, but not just any field, a field of ROCKS! and our job was to move all the big rocks so they could plant stuff!! it was hot, but a blast!! i loved it
