Mas Despacio

Crazy fast week out here in Capullanas! Been working with a few investigators a lot and teaching a lot of young people too. On Friday alone we got 6 news because Hermana Paiva pretty much invited every kid on the street to come and hear our message. They were cool and we played games afterwards. This was during our splits with the zone leaders too where Elder Blanco, another gringo, came and was in my area with me. We had a lot of successful which was very exciting for me as I was able to receive help a little easier because of the language barrier that is there at times. Had interviews with the president on Tuesday too and that went well, everyone was so nervous when they shouldn't be, pretty funny. A kid started talking to us at a park and he was playing basketball, we played with him and I shot a basketball for the first time in 2 months, felt good. The rim was 11 feet tall for some reason and when my comp went to dunk, he ripped his pants lol. Had a multi-zone on Wednesday and learned a ton about the importance of the Sacrament and inviting others to come and partake of it. Later that night we had a district dinner and I ate cow heart and what might have been alcoholic lemonade, don't worry it wasn't, I think. A few of the young people we've been teaching are Olenka, Daniel, and Snayder. Daniel is very smart and pretty much teaches us during the lessons, he is only 10 and I will have the opportunity to baptize him on the 25th of January. Snayder turns 8 next month and couldn't be more excited. They are so cool and are pretty much my little bros now. Gave easily more than 10 blessing this week too to members and such which is always an amazing opportunity to help and utilize my priesthood abilities. The members are helpful here and my Spanish is improving more and more, hope all is well for everyone. Always be looking to serve and be a light to others.
