Hey family so the soccer game went well we just ended up doing a shoot out and so we won so that was sweet but only two showed up for church and we are playing them again today so ya more fun.  It's fun just to get to know the kids here and just be their friends and role models they dont have much to look up to so hopefully we as missionaries can help with that but it was good fun!!!

So we have two new investigators that we found they are the Sux family and they are awesome.  We have a appointment with them tomorrow and we invited them to read. Why do I tell you this because I know what it means to ponder and pray so we chose one day to go find new investigators. We prayed and we left and just walked.  We ended up in the barrio florida and we go to this street and we are like hmmmmm no lets go to the next so we do and we just sit and think and we are just like nope the last street so we go back and then we just go to the first house and it was Daria Sux who answered the door.  We taught her and her neice and she said a day earlier she had been walking by our church and she felt something weird so she went and talked with people about what church that is and she found out it was our church and she said everyone that she knew was super nice from our church and she wanted that in her life so ya awesome.  I am sooooo excited to go back and teach her we didnt meet the husband but she says he is interested as well so I am so stoked hopefully it goes well!!!

Not a ton actually happened this week one thing that was cool is we went to Aldea which is clear the heck out in the middle of the jungle and we went to this one family who has 18 people in it and I guess the parents and two sons are members but we thought the entire family was members but they aren't so we have 14 new investigators.  We decided to teach them the baptism of Jesus Christ because they were washing clothes in the river so we went down and when we went by the river there was this pond with this two foot waterfall in the background and me and Elder Parker were just like yes picture perfect baptism spot not that it matters where it takes place but gosh it was sooooooo beautiful gosh if we do get a baptism in this family then for sure it will be in this little pond!! but anyways the spirit was so strong when we taught we brought some of the ladies to tears and stuff and they all excepted baptism but the hard thing is, is that church is in San Luis and it cost money to take a bus to San Luis and that is money they don't have so you know kind of hard but it is possible!!!

Yes it rains like crazy. The rain has washed away all of the dirt roads and I wear boots everyday.  I like them its just that when I wear them I am like a walking dollar sign because first of I´m a gringo and second is these boots are super nice and thats all people wear here so ya kind of awkward but another thing is that since the rainy season started I have seen a ton of snakes and tarantulas.  I have seen two tarantulas and one snake these were all live but there are so many dead snakes and tarantulas on the streets its way gross and scary but it is pretty cool too!!!

Ok last thing for this week we had a family of investigators come to church yesterday and they are from Belize so they speak broken English, Quechi, Mopan and a tiny bit of Spanish so me and Elder Parker got to teach in 4 languages.  I had such a big headache I had to translate 4 languages at the same time and teach in as much as I knew in Mopan and Quechi and it was super hard to teach in English.  I hated teaching in English awwww it was terrible but it was fun as well!!! 

Well thats it for this week so long!!
