Última Semana

 I've made it 11 weeks in the field and about to finish my training. But that doesn't make sense because I still can't speak Spanish. I'll figure it out. We had a pretty good month, it's just been crazy busy all the time, and a little too hot. My bishop told me that on Wednesday it got up to 36 degrees. That's hot I think. 

While we were walking to an appointment in the afternoon, this guy sitting on his quad calls us over. We go and chat for a second and he asks us what our mission is about 4 times. So we tell him a little of what we do. Then he goes off on us when we said something about prayer. He told us we need to be perfect to pray. He was a little aggressive at this point. Then he asked us who our leader is, obviously looking for Joseph Smith, and we told him a dozen times, "It says it right here on our plaque, JESUS CHRIST! He is our leader." His responds, "But who is your leader?" After a little more of that, we got a phone call and my companion took it and I gave him our number and said if he wants to talk, he can call us and we'll chat. And he didn't like that and we can come over and clean his toilet, which is some kind of slang. And we left. He was interesting. 

We had our ward council yesterday and for the first 10 minutes the bishop went off on the Young Women's President saying she needs to teach her jóvenes how to use a bathroom. He had a woman say to him that was the worst thing she had ever seen. But that seems like she's taking it too far. That was a good highlight  for that meeting. 

Anyway, I guess I'll write again next week. Let me know what's going on and all the cool things happening. The taxis like to lie and tell us there is a lot of wars in the US and bombs and terrorists and all kinds of crazy stuff, so I actually have no idea. Love you guys, let me know what's up.
