To my main village man Isaac. This Friday, boy about to be 18. Drink responsibly. Wait don't drink at all. Don't forget to utilize your voting rights. I love you.

Tuesday

There was a parade this day. One of the 2 this week. As we walked home we just threw out a couple "Eyes down Elder." Ceremonial clothing you know how it goes, out here staying consecrated. When we got home, the other elders had bought this foam spray can thing and it only lasted for like 5 minutes but that was brutal, foamy war at its finest.

Thursday

Okay now folks this is just an observation, that hadn't really dawned on me until I made it, but I saw a person of Asian descent for the first time since I've been at home. Yoko and her Japanese family. Super sweet lady, she said she would make us Sushi. Honestly that deserves eternal life. A fair trade.

Friday

We threw a surprise party at the church as a branch for the Yañez family, as they were officially married earlier that day. It was a lot of fun!

- We was just rannin around and we look over to see a dog trotting down the street with a diaper in its mouth. All we could say was "Oh no, please don't do this dog." We could only watch as it sat down and tore into it. Baby poop is not in your diet young man... Boy I've heard that one before.

- We chat with this retired jewelry selling traveling man. Very smart, very wealthy. I always thought he was super intelligent, until he sat down at his PC and pulled up Facebook. He showed us the videos he took of a UFO he saw at the beach, then continued to explain how Jesus Christ is actually an alien, and when he was resurrected, his alien people beamed him up to their ship. Didn't know that. Thanks Ulises, very cool.

- I just want to say how much I love hearing "Hola chiquilines" from the Hermanas in the ward. It's so cute and it makes my day.

- We were just chilling in the room okay, and Elder Llerena takes my football, and rifles it at me. I'm talking Patrick Mahomes splitting the safeties on a slant route type of velocity. Before I could react, it careens into the blanket that hangs over the window. *shattering noises*. President please, I was just trying to drink my terere (cold mate). That window is right above my bed, so let's just say it's quite lively at night. Especially because that night (Sunday night) there was another enormous parade all night.

- Going along with that parade, we were walking home from Elder Godoy's bday celebration at the Stake President's house close to curfew time. We were on the north side of the big Avenue, our house is on the south side, literally on the corner of the Avenue. But there was no way to get there. Literally all of South America was there or something. It was just a brick wall of people, and not only did we have to break through them, but also the parade itself. So we finally find a sliver of space in the crowd, and we just take our chances. That night everybody witnessed 4 missionaries dart across the parade path through dancing ladies, honestly I just closed my eyes and cried the whole time so I wouldn't get sent home. We then had to break through the crowd on the other side, but we finally made it home.

1. Happy Birthday Elder Godoy!

2. Honestly who did this

3. Yañez Wedding!

5. Saturday the water didn't work for the baptism, so we resorted to filling it with buckets, with the help of Juan Carlos, savage move. Huge example. Eventually, we gave up and luckily the next day the water worked. God gave us enough water to fill the font, prepare the sacrament, and then cut it again.

We baptized Juan Carlos after church, and it actually worked out better because we had investigators and more members.
