"Hola!

This has been a long week! Not really, it was p day like yesterday... Time is flying so fast! No word on the visa so for now, I am still holding out in Cali! This last week we did 2 exchanges. I went with Elders Esplin and Durrant. They are both really good Elders. We got a long really well. For both of the exchanges, I had to actually walk... Living the missionary life! Finally! I've definitely been in the car for too long. We walked atleast 4 miles on each of the exchanges. On one of them, with Elder Esplin, we taught a girl named Kimberly about the first for commandments as well as the word of wisdom. First of all, that is definitely the brick wall for most people. Second of all, doing lessons in english is a lot easier. Thrird of all, she has a baptism date. HOLLER! Hopefully she holds to her commitments. This week i finished the Book of Mormon so that was a pachanga! Now im going to start reading the writings of Paul because he is a boss. A few more little stories, we went to a members house for food. The foos just looked like pork so I just dug in! Guess what? Its called Carnitas and its seriously anything that is from a pig that they can cook... I seriously almost yacked. My companion told me after and now im really disgusted that I ate that. There was all kinds of stuff like fat, meat, and probably intestines. Oh well. We went over to the Vidal's house yesterday for dinner. They are so funny! The grandpa vidal was awesome. He told a joke and he seriously was ROFLING about it. He came up to me as i was sitting on the couch and said. "Sofa so good?" And just started laughing. I was super confused. He said it as to mean "So far, so good." NOT that funny. Oh well. Dinner was really good though. It was spaghetti with like a slab of meat on the noodles with sauce on it. Delicious! Thats all for this week! Until the next!

Love all of you!

 

Love,

Elder Atwood
