Drive-by Shenanigans
So this week was fairly normal but overall good. We´re having a little bit more success here. Other than that we were partying a lot with the district for my comp. The pics are below. The assistants dropped us off at our house (they have a car) and let's just say the friendly neighborhood gangsters thought we were trying to do a drive-by and they started running then got mad when they realized it was just the gringos. Haha later kids. Make good decisions.
My comps b-day, drunk guys dancing, and we taught a guy to dance.
Pupusas in Apulo
So we finally were able to bring some people to church this week. It's a pretty dope family of four. We´ll see what happens with them this week.
Also this past Friday was Independence Day (for all of Central America, except Panama) so we were partying it up pretty much the whole week. It was dope. I'll send some pics and stuff of all that went down.
Things have been pretty sweet in these weeks. The district is pretty cool and everything, and we have a few positive people. Hopefully they can progress more and more this week.
Have a great week my children. Be safe and be smart. Read the scriptures and go to church.

P-day last week we went to a place called Apulo, pupusas and kolashanpan (typical food and drink here) for breakfast on Independence Day (September 15th). My bishop and his wife doing a traditional dance, other people doing a different dance.
Bowling with Bagged Horchata
So this week has been pretty hard in general. Once again we couldn't get anyone to church, but no worries we will here soon. I don't know if I said anything last week, but me and my comp are staying together this change. Hopefully in this comeing week there will be some more news.
I read a talk about america being a promised land or in other words a land prepared by God, that will never be destroyed, but it says that it will only keep those promises if we are obedient. So be obedient children.
Just some pics from last monday, when we went bowling and what not.
Have a killer week.

Volcano and a Special Guest
So this week was pretty sweet overall! Starting out with Monday, after I wrote y'all last week we went to this place called ¨El BoquerĂ³n¨ or something like that, and its a volcano. It's way sick. It's kindof like Mt. St. Helens where the volcano has a huge 'ol crater. This place was way amazing. A family from my old ward drove us out there and back. After going there, I was convinced to return here again someday. Ive always said that the dangers of this country might not permit me, but there are plenty of places that are safe and I would love to visit again. This country is pretty dang amazing.
On Wednesday Elder Ochoa from the 70 came and spoke to us, and our zone prepared a couple of special musical numbers and it was pretty sweet. One of his recomendations (not only as missionaries but for everyone) is to never lose the faith. He invited us to write down in a journal or something scriptures about faith, and whenever we feel down or everyday if we want, before leaving the house, we pull out that journal and read a couple of scriptures. He said a lot of other things too, but I left my journal in the house and I can't think very well. I felt really good about it all and learned a lot from him.
Also they told us about changes and it looks like I will be staying for another change in this area. It looks like I will have like 7 months all together in this ward and like 10 attending the same church building... It's nuts man. I was kind of hoping for changes, but whatever, the time will come.
love y'all! Don't lose the faith and love God!

The group at a cool lookout point, me and my comp, here's the top of the volcano. Some missionaries broke the key inside he door so the neighbohood kids tried helping us.
