This was another awesome week! the time is definitely starting to pick up, which is way cool!
First off, sorry mom. I guess I'm not very safe on a mission either. I walked into a wall and messed up my face. Elder Brown and I were walking down the street just talking and I was looking down, the people here are much shorter so its okay if their roofs stick out onto the sidewalk... I hit my forehead, then my nose, then my lip, then fell to the ground. I hit so hard that I thought someone hit me in the face! pictures below.
We spend a lot of time contacting during the week, but this week for a change we got contacted! Another time while walking down the street, (dont worry, I will have lots of stories about walking down the street) We heard a lady yelling "jóvenes" which basically means "youth" so we turned around and asked us to go and teach her and her husband. From what i heard and my companion told me, he had recently gotten in an accident while drunk and had to have an opporation (SOS my spelling is going downhill already) and he has to lay in bed for awhile. he said that he wants to change his life and grow closer to God. We gladly went and taught them a lesson and the spirit was so strong! We are hopefully going to go back again this week and see them!
Fun fact, yesterday we put a family of about 10 (there might be more, everytime we see them they have more members) with a baptismal date. its for the end of september so it gives them plenty of time to attend church, have all the lessons and ask us all of their questions, because they have a lot!
Everyday I learn the language a little bit better, but it is definitely a lesson in patience for me!
Love you all!

The first picture is right after it happened, we went to a nearby members house where I washed up a little bit. the second one is a couple hours later
yesterday we went back to the spot to show the other elders what exactly happened and I figured I would take a picture of what happened to better explain it! you can see the pink part of the wall where there is obviously cement missing? that part came off when I hit it. I think I won.
Ride or die
