hey, so everything is good. today i am a little tired we got permission to go to a volcano and climb a little bit. it was really cool, but we didnt bring enough water so we were all dying. it was a lot of fun, we had to wake up at 5 to get the bus so we had time to do everything. it was really pretty and reminded me a lot of the ranch. the volcano is called Antuco, which is close to Los Angeles. we have been working a lot with the members lately which has been good. there is this gringo in our ward from the us who has been here for a couple of weeks, so he took us to this nice restaurant that serves Brazilian food which was really good,( he served there on his mission). so that was pretty cool, we got to eat a lot of meat. the ward here is awesome, there are so many great families. we still have a lot of really good people we are teaching, that are doing great. it is a pretty good mix of families, young couples, from 25 to 20 and youth. really members are the key, i wish i would have left a lot more with the elders before my mission it makes such a huge difference. there are still a ton of funny contact stories, every day is really awesome. so this week we were contacting this house and there was this dog that was so huge he looked like a bear. so we go to the house and yell and wait, the gate was open. the dog seemed pretty nice and was just waiting there so i didnt really think to much of it. but then he started running toward us, so i backed up and he ran faster. so i took off my backpack and put it in front of him but it was still crazy so he stopped and went back but my heart was racing so fast it was so scary. then there was just a lot of funny people who we talked to that were really funny. one old guy was like 8 second Tom on 50 first dates who forgets everything and keeps saying the same thing. i guess he played basketball for the chilean national team and got a lot of money and bought a field and had this metal to show it. but it was funny because he just kept saying the same thing over and over. it was really funny. there are just so many funny things every day. but everything is doing awesome. the mission is great.
thanks for everything
