Hola Texas whats up? This week was dope, I mean lifes good, and I'm doing great. Eduardo and Carmela got baptized and confirmed this week so that was dope. Actually something cool is that after church like 15 minutes after I get a call from Eduardo telling me hey I forgot to pay my tithing can you bring the form to my house this week so I can pay my tithing. I am really sad right now cuz my district leader Elder Iglesias has a change, he was so sick.I couldn't have asked for a better district leader. The other day we were walking home and we heard this spanish song like 4 times on the street and I practically memorized it so when we got home I started singing the song and he was like dude you gotta be in ganster clothes but I didn't have any so I got in my elmo pajamans and shorts to sag big time my superman shirt then put on sunglasses with a santa hat and started to sing then my comps like dude I gonna do this then he changes I tell him dude put on shorts but they were like wicked short like booty shorts so ya then in a normal shirt with a suit coat and then the turkey hat and then we sang the song on video it was so weird like I will never forget it.  Edgar and Maria want to get baptized this Saturday but Maria has to get a special interview and needs to repent hard core so it depends on Papi Erickson.  Me and my comp are dope and are looking for new investigators and conference is going to be a big part in our successs for baptizing eternal investigators. Life is great, just gotta buy like a freaking promise ring cuz of all the snakes there. I love life and I love baptizing its dope well I gotta go love yall!

Hola Texas whats up well I am red and sunburnt bad and starving and broke but life is good! Well I'm sunburnt cuz yesterday we had two weddings at two different times and I was outside. It wouldn't have been bad exept we couldn't enter inside for the marriage unless we had the witneses and my comp was one witness and the other was Elder Gil our district leaders companion. I told them don't get any lessons or dates for Saturday because they need to be there for the marriage and they got there 3 hours late!!!!!! like I was mad!! I was calling them and they were not answering the freaking phone and I was getting burnt and my family was getting burnt and with the children it was not easy so ya what happened is they finally answered the phone they said in 10 minutes were there and then 30 minutes later I call them and they say  in 10 minutes then when i finally saw then they tried to shake my hand I said no no just go sign the papers before I punch you then I took them in private and just yelled at them for like 10 minutes then my zone leader then yelled at them for a good amount of time too so ya. Then they got married I took pictures which this machine won't let me send so I think my card reader is bad so I'm gonna buy another one . We saw the most beautiful woman in the world the other day. A little backround my comp and Elder Iglesias and other missionaries were talking about what kind of girl you like now some latinos were like I like gringo girls and some guys were like blonde hair si o si yes or yes but I was like half asian man haha and they were all like ok respect but ya well we saw this girl pass by and we were like wow she is beautiful she wasn't immodest or anything but she was pretty and she was half asain, I'm like revelation man I'm gonna marry a half asian chick in 6 years haha!!! Back to the story well then I get my family asking hey we gonna eat cake so I'm like ok fine now remember I am like dead broke but ya so my comp and Elder Eil went in a taxi with the family ( taxi cuz she didn't want to get her wedding dress dirty on the bus) and well me and Iglesias went in bus ( not enough room in taxi) so ya well we gave my comp and Gil some money for the taxi and for the cake cuz we would ge there later than them and when we get there I find out that Elder Gil got like this wicked expensive cake so I was about to explode then I ate a piece then I had to go with Iglesias to the mission office to get our passports cuz we were the witnesses for the next wedding of Edgar and Maria and well it was 2 hours away and started at 5. This guy was like hey pay me 40 soles and I play piano the whole time I told him no, Elder Iglesias told him no and the looser just goes and plays and he played poop and I was like dude what the heck. Then he went to try to charge me at the end and I said I  hope you kidding cuz I told you no then he says but I played and I was like but you sucked and I didn't agree to that! Then he goes and tries to charge my family and ya but the wedding was good like alright but Maria cried and everything.  I got some sick pictures !!  Then me and Gil go buy them a cake and then we leave to return the passports and wow everyone in the office was like dude your freaking red and I was like sorry I just got burned from having the fire of the holy ghost too much  haha!!  That was my week and this week they are going to get baptized and it will be great! I also found some cool families, like 5 with my comp who are coming to conference with us this week and some eternal investigators that have never been to a conference and just say that they want a stronger testimony and what better chance than to hear the prophet talk .We told them that they need to go to conference with a question, Is Thomas S Monson a prophet on God? I bet my money on the prophet all day long so ya we could have a sick month of April with tons of baptisms but we have to marry a bunch of people again but ya anyway I'm gonna go love ya ll chow

Hola Texas well this is going to be quick cuz I got on internet late cuz my comps dying had to go to a meeting  Well this week my comp was really like really trunky just wanted to sleep all day so I asked my district leader to give me like 4 work visits and when he asked what I was going to do I said find baptisms cuz well I have to baptize at least 3 this month that's what I put as the goal and I want to baptize 10 the next month so I have like 4 or more possibilities for this month but I gotta start looking now for March. So we went and I found two families that accepted to be married and baptized so sorry mom and dad but I am going to be sooo broke this month and the next I don't know why marriage is soo expensive here but what can you do . I also found a woman Annebell who also accepted to be baptized but she couldn't come to church this week because some family came to visit but shes coming the next.  I also found this lady who is a member but her husband and are not so jackpot I am also looking for some part member families which I should be getting a list of from our ward mission leader this week. Basically I was looking for people and contacting all week so my key indicators looked bad but I dont care cuz I will baptize like crazy and that's the only thing that I care about so ya . Funny things this week when my comp and I went to like a market to go get his camera fixed well they have like this movie stand where they sell movies and also usbs and technology I was asking about some memory cards cuz I need some more and well my comp calls me over and he is laughing and says lets go and I ask why he says those nurses want to eat you . So I was like what and I look over to where I was and there are these two nursesexcept they are not nurses they were like sexy nurses if you know what I mean I think they were advertising for like a club or something and I was like oh ok and right when I was about to go they tried talking to me and I was like uuuughgg ok then I was like Alejate de mi Satanas!!! Departe From me hence Satan!! and like gandoff from lord of the rings YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!!!!
 I hope my kid will be cool  so that we won't have any problems. I am about out of time, chow love y'!all
