Writin Blind.

Alright, so first off, I hate this keyboard, all the keys are suuuuper sticky, so it really frustrates me since I wanna write fast, but I have to press down really hard on each key to make it go..
This week was the first week that Ive actually seen results from what weve been doing here, weve contacted this entire area, and while there were a few who wanted to listen, none of them progressed, so they didnt stick. Then we got a reference from the zone leader, a lady they had met on the bus, so we went by her house and talked to her a little bit, but she had to go, so we invited her to a baptim we were having and church and she showed up with her husband to both!!! The first investigator weve had in church since ive been here. We actualy had met her son before in his friends house and he was really promising, but we couldnt find him again because it wasnt his house we visited. Buuuuut we taught them after church and they both accepted a baptismal date, so well see how that goes, they still need to get married(theyv been together 20 years and had 6 kids... Argentina..)but we'll work on that , over here, all you have to do is go to a court and sign a few papers, its suuuuper easy..
In other news, this week was the one year annaversery of the mission and we had a party with the president, we rented a real grass field(all of them here are dirt or cement) and played all day. We also had a huuuuuuuge asado. Aaaand we all got trucho Argentina jerseys with the mission logo on the back. Its pretty awesome.. President is loaded, so he payed for all of this stuff. hes a foot surgeon and owns a practice.
The only buzz kill was that I broke my glasses.
I went up to head the ball and it hit the side of my head which broke the frame... right now I dont have my glasses on because Im writing on the way back, so I got the computer screen like two inches from my face,.. I probably look pretty funny.. but that's not the point.. I neeed glasses, I have my other ones, but I don't want to look like a child molester. They have a Walmart here with an optometrist, so I'll look into that..maybe the Walmart in Kennewick could send my information? I dunno, all i know is that its gonna cost money which I don't have because my debit card is expired.. I tried calling the number dad gave me but it didn't work... I{ll figure something out.
Anyways, I love ya guys, keep in touch and stuff!

New Comp and Stuff


I'll give you some good news and some bad news, the good news is I got a new companion, His name is Elder Windward. He is from Vancouver washington and he is cousins with Chris Hauter! What a little world we live in. Aparrently, he spent some summers in kennewick with his grandparents... Its pretty awesome.. we is like peas and carrots. 

The bad new is, theres a pretty big possibility that he could go home soonish.. He's been having really bad stomach problems the past transfer, and they don't know what it is.. He's got sharp pains in the intestines and he feels nausaus all the time. Its all good though, becuase we still work through it.. buuut he was sent here as sort of a last chance. They sent him here to see a specialist that lives here and if he can't find out what it is then he's going home and I'm probably going to the mission offices to be financero... that does not sound like fun.. however, with the glasses I have now it would be fitting... But I don't wanna go, we'll see how this plays  out..
Also we got a cat! Her name is ugly for short.. her full name is Mahana(You ugly). She's got a gross scab on the side of her face. I think she got chewed up by a dog a couple of weeks ago.. we kick her out when we are there, but she just hangs out in the house and tries to rub her scabby face on us...
This weeks been pretty good though, we've been working a lot trying to strenghten the ward because the church down here is pretty unstable...
Love ya guys!
