Last week we had two hours from 11 to 1 to do everything we needed to do and we were in the campo doing fencing stuff until like 1258 so I was technically not even supposed to email last week but I didn’t want presidente to have to deal with and angry mom. Sorry but it happened.
So I am writing both of you because I have to fit two weeks worth of stories in 1 email. And the videos won’t upload they are to big sorry when this card gets filled I will send it home and you can watch it then. Sorry.
Ok so christmas was legit like we went out to the campo with a couple families from the ward and had a huge asado (bbq) we had lamb. Slow roasted for like 3 hours over a fire. It was so tender it was amazing.
And tomatoes and potatoes and sopapillas (basically a scone). Super good meal. Then we played soccer missionaries against members and with 3 gringos and a chileno against all chilenos I’ll let y’all figure out how that went. But I did score once so that was my proud moment. It was all luck but still. We had to be in the casa at like 8 that night so I went to bed at like 8:30. It was heavenly. Then yeah.
So the day after christmas sucked cause no one was home. Then the rest of the week was boring.
So new years eve we would have dinner with a member but they cancelled on us so Sanders and I bought some pan and cheese and just did a little thing that was super good but Baez and Haynes were like heck no we need meat so they bought stuff to do their own asado. So they had churripan which is like a brautwurst thing and some pork. They shared and it was pretty good. Stayed up till midnight then out like a light. Not to exciting but Haynes and I chilled outside for a while just kinda talking so that was cool. Then morning rolled around. I am pretty sure almost none of the meat was cooked all the way cause we couldn’t really see the meat with the flashlight so I was super sick. Not fun but I got over it by like 9. and then we had an awesome Zone activity! Everyone from Los Angeles (minus Haynes and Baez because they didn’t want to pay) so two zones got together and we played real football (well two hand touch) and frisbee and did some volleyball stuff and some fun like relay races stuff. WACHITOROS! We definitely probably almost won I dunno. But if we didn’t we should have. We had the only candadian on our team. He is a really cool guy name of Duroscher. Built like a hockey player. Nice guy. We dominated the wheelbarrow race together. But anywho. Yeah so super fun activity. It was basically like just hanging out with a bunch of friends again back home. But you know, different languages. But still super fun. I wore my america socks!! Everyone was impressed.
So this week we had one day where we got like in every house we contacted and challenged people to baptism and it was awesome killer day. Then we had the next day where it was blazing hot and we couldn’t drink water cause we were fasting, and had 41 contacts (read as a lot) and almost no lessons. We figure we where in the sun for about 5 hours. Horrible. But on the way back home we were just dieing tired feet hurt thirsty when a member who drives a collectivo (basically a taxi but on a fixed route) picked us up and took us home. It was a tendermercy from the lord straight up. He takes care of the missionaries.
But yeah sorry again about the email last week but stuff happens. Got super busy and yeah. But we got the fence put in out there. Looks good. Thank you for teaching me how to work.
Love
