JUST KIDDING.......!!
i almost did it but my comp told me i couldnt (my writing time is special for him because he half naps through it). LOTS OF RAIN this week, like tropical storm rain with lightning and thunder and turns the street to muddy river rain. But most of it has been at night which is super good and its nice because it cools things off for awhile. One lightning bolt struck real close to our house and it was so loud that it woke me up from sleeping and i said a bad word in spanish... cool huh when i wake up i say bad words in another language. i learned them here in cartagena because the chocie of words here is rather tough. MY comp already told me im abusing the gift of toungues so im going to do better. A good week (i feel like a write that alot) a bit crazy for sure and a few things happened that will be great to tell you all.....when im in the God saved land of the USA. WE had a interesting time with our investigadores, unfortunatly we lost alot of them yesterday because they didnt want to go to church and so if someone doesnt want to go to church, well they wont be very active after they get baptized so we cant teach them anymore. So we lost like 2 familys and then some so it was a rough sunday BUT we found a super awesome guy and im going to be like a european misionary and write about just him like he was the only person who listened to us this week (which is not true). So this mans name is Artuo and is very smart, i contacted him where he works in an internet place because we were sending some medical stuff to the office by scanner. well he was excited to hear us and he told us where he lived and we went by the next day. he had read the pamphelt 3 times and wanted a book of mormon to find out if Joseph smith was a prophet. We gave him one real quick. we asked him a bit about his life and it turns out the he was atheist as of about one year ago when he had a a big problem with drugs and alchol and now he is in a substance free house. But when he told us how he began to believe in God again he started to cry and asked us some good soul searcing questions. He had listened to Jehovas witnesses before (when he was atheist) but he didnt like them.... go figure, guess he likes christmas. but we taught him saturday and he came to church sunday which was amazing and everyone at church loved him and they all want to help, mostly the stake presidents wife which is SUPER. So pray for arturo and ill keep you updated. I had a dream about you all last night, not sure what we were doing but we took a picture and i make a goofy pose and you all laughed at me.... so i liked the dream.

Im glad everyone had a good week and that mom is super misionera of the ward. here there is a brother in the ward who keeps me updatd on the phillies but the funny párt was when he first tryed to tell be about them and i couldnt understand who he was talking about because he pronounced phillies so bad, he said it like fiyies. thanks for being my family and so AWESOME.
Love
