Week of Firsts

 
     Ok so had my first service project had my first zone meeting had my first interview with the president and my first stake conference and my first time being sick! Alright this week was insane had a huge service project of chopping down some insane weeds and I got like 3 blisters but its all good now. Also we had stake conference and an area of the seventy came and talked to us (Elder Wadell) He is 2 meters high and white but he talks really good Spanish which is hope for me haha. Anyways, hope all is good and that you are enjoying you life cause it truly is a wonder and a blessing. Well this week I should have my first baptism if all goes well. Our investigators is way rad, he talks a bunch but he has already read the triplet all the way through so he is for sure ready so I'll send you pics of the baptism. For now here are some photos of this week! So the first is some investigators of mine and the second was today at p day we climbed this tree that had some fat vines hanging off of it and yeah that's about it for this week. I guess see ya next week!

Adjusting

Yeah, Cucuta is a smaller town, but I love it I don't really want to go to the big cities its not my style but I live in a section called Monaco on Calle 2. I believe and the lady that cooks for us is one block from our house. We only have half of the town too from Calle 2 to the end which is like Calle 27 I believe. Yeah, I really don't like the heat but its so small compared to the joy I have here the people are amazing and so willing to listen. We have a baptism the 16 and a family here that we are teaching are moving to Utah in Salt Lake City on Redwood Street pretty soon so we are trying to baptize them cause her boyfriend lives in SLC and is mormon and gave us this reference so trying to help them out. We eat at subway every p day, my little piece of heaven. I'm still learning Spanish but its all good. Oh and yesterday was fast Sunday and I was seriously dying of thirst but I made it through and then we had 3 lunch dates and by the end of the day I was dying of eating too much haha. God's sense of humor is always fun, but we seriously ate so much I was like omg .  I read the BoM in English
while I was in the MTC and now I'm trying to read it in Spanish which is way harder by the way and I'm so grateful to be here in this little town to be honest its way cool.
                  love you tons,

So today we got locked out of our apartment cause my comp forgot the keys inside so now we don't
have a place to sleep hahah

I bought a watch last week and it was like 10 bucks everything here is pretty cheap and I think we
get 100 bucks a month but I'm not sure still trying to get adjusted and all and the watch flashes different colors for the light so that's rad haha.
 I can see why they say its the best 2 years. The days past fast, I mean I struggle a ton, but I just always try to put a smile on my face.

Here are some photos from when Andrew was in the MTC
