hey how goes it? i sent alot of pictures today i hope you like them! I am sorry i didnt write yesterday i was looking all over for a open internet place but here there is Carnaval and everything closed down with chain and lock and gates and stuff. Yesterday we had an awesome pday. we went to a huge shopping center called unicenter and we bowled. we saw an american family there friends of president ayre and i went and talked to them and they told me that they wanted to buy us something and they gave me 1000 pesos for all the missionaries to bowl and go get icecream after! It was soooo awesome. We are working in a place called Bajo Boulogne and Villa Santana. We are having alllot of success in this area. We had a baptism of a 14 year old girl named Fiama and this weekend a 65 year old lady named Angelica and then on the 28th Angel he is 29 years old and asked me to baptism him! They are all part of the same family that elder Nielsen and Elder Cruz found before i got here. There are literally like 30 people or more in this house. All family and friends and then the 7th of march i imagine that we will have more baptisms. My Zone leader Elder Solis from Mexico told me yesterday that President called him and is happy with our work here in Boulogne! I have learned pretty well my area so far for having one week. In this area we have Monoblocks like in Soldati but just alittle different, not as famous as soldati. We have a part of the area called Beccar that has mansions that take up a whole block and also one of the most dangerous villas called the villa caba. But we dont work in this villa because its like 40 minutes or more from the chapel and the buses dont pass that often ecspecially on sunday and there is only one member active that could help us around there cause we dont know the area. the rest that are active go to San fernando because its closer than Boulogne. i dont know why we have that area beccar. Elder Cruz is awesome he makes me feel like i am being trained, he came super prepared on the mission. hes a good companion. hes funny too! we get along great! The mission is the best experience ever! I love the mission and i love to teach now that i understand well how to teach and ask good questions that make people think. The mission is really the best.
In the house our hot water hasnt came out for like the whole week, i disconnected the nozzel on the wall and water went shooting everywhere and then while water was shooting everywhere i connected it and now we have hot water again! my companion told me what needed to be done and i did it and now we have hot water! The house is really small and our neighboors smoke alllooott and its not cigarettes and the smell enters in and makes me angry we always have the back door open though because its hot but well have to close it now. This zone is awesome, i didnt want to go back to the north zone but i am really enjoying it alot! we are going to baptize alot and we are happy for all the people that the lord has prepared for us.
