Week 47

 Hey, so we spent like 30 minutes trying to find a functional internet, and now the internet is so painfully slow, i can barely stand it... sigh. bueno...
 
 Well new years was a lot of fun. I washed laundry and went to dinner with the rest of the zone... The food was good, and we played a question game. I won a can of Dr. Pepper... wow.. so american. and delicious. And at midnight, we woke up to all of the yelling and fireworks... sigh.. whatevs. But the funniest part, was that there
 was a marching band that passed by our house during the night and again in the morning. In the morning we looked out the window, we realized that it wasnt a normal marching band... it was a completely wasted marching band. All the people were completely drunk and marching down the streets while playing their crazy music... dont worry, i totally have a video. It wasnt very funny when we were trying to sleep, but in the morning it was absolutely hilarious. The next day, we went out to visit some less active members. We walked past two old drunk guys... one of them was attempting to play the flute and the other was completely bawling... haha! maybe you just had to be there. unfortunately, i couldnt get my camera out in time to catch the moment... blast. But ya, it was an interesting holiday. o ya and some kid told us that he hacked into secret information from the U.S. and Spain governments that is going to change the world in 8 months... haha! o boy... very very interesting holiday.
 
 So we are still teaching the atheists and it is going super well. we think that they are understanding a little bit better now, and are really open to learn more. We are going to talk with them this wednesday, hopefully they will be willing to learn more and feel the spirit.
 
 We had a super great baptism this last saturday. Her name is Susan, and she is 19 years old. she is super cool, and has such a strong testimony. It is amazing that you can really see the difference aftersomeone gets baptized. they literally shine afterwards, and then she shared the most simple and beautiful testimony that i have ever heard. I love that the simple things are more spiritual.
 
 On sunday, we had a pretty crazy morning. We had to make sure that Susan was going to come to church to be confirmed, and we had to go pick up other investigators. The thing is... the other people live on top of a mountain.. we did a little bit of mountain climbing before church, and the investigators werent home... so we descended the mountain and headed to church. When we finished the first hour, they told us that none of the primary people showed up, so we needed to go control the primary for two hours. bueno... Child control is super exhausting, but we survived. It was a super great week, and next week is going to be even better. I hope that everyone is doing well, and that you enjoyed your first week of 2013! good luck this week, i love ya!
