wow its crazy that it is already my birthday. today was a lot of fun. we had an activity as a zone. it was called nations day, because we had missionaries from Uruguay, Peru, Argentina, 3 from Mexico, so everyone made a food from their country, it went well. it was kind of like the office when they have the ethnic day but a little less racist jk. we played american football as well which was cool. yesterday at church went really well. a lot of people went. after church we had to go do a service project for this old lady to clean up all this garbage in her backyard. they made it sound really urgent and that it had to be done that day. so in priesthood meeting the 2 counselor asked for anyone that could help and no one said anything. so me and my companion kind of had to raise our hands, but the coolest part, is that right after our investigator who is awesome raised his hand as well. so we were the only 3 that raised our hand. so the 2 nd counselor told us to be at the house at 6 30. so at 6 30 we show up and our investigator is there waiting for us. so we get in the house and find out that they have no tools at all to do anything. so we call the 2 nd counselor and tell him and he just tells us that he is still in a meeting and is going to come in a little bit more. so we had to run to this other members house and borrow some shovels and a wheelbarrow. so then at 7 00 we call the 2 nd counselor and he says he is on his way. comes 7 45 and we try to call him and he has his phone off. so it was a very disorganized service project but ended up ok, because we were there with our investigator and he is awesome, so we had a really good time. but for all those who want to know there are 3 keys to a service project. 1 Show UP!!!! 2 Show up on TIME!!! 3 Have all the tools and equipment ready. i was a little annoyed at the 2 counselor but its ok and all went well. i still havent talked to him yet but i am going to have to give him a couple palos. saturday we did an activity as a ward we made these surveys of 10 questions. so some ward members showed up and they went door to door doing the survey it went really well, and actually one of the girls they found saturday went to church on sunday and stayed for all 3 meetings so we are going to see how that works out. on sunday the family gave us sheep for lunch it was good, really fatty but good. this week we did a lot of intercambios which are always fun. so this week was really awesome. well hope everyone is good love you lots
