Remember Tomorrow

Hey guys,
It was mighty lovely to talk to you yesterday and hey to all the moms, or other people who would like to accept this shout-out happy mothers day!!! Love you guys! But hey, this week went well, I am doing well and hey Bella Vista is awesome, I am really liking it here, and am grateful for the six months I am going to finish here, after that who can say what will happen but I am excited, The mission is the best!!
So compared to the last week, not much happened, which is always nice, and chill week... is that even possible in the mission, anyhow, it went good, but really not much to report :) But hey, I found out that spiders like to hide under sinks, and can be killed with a broom and bug spray :) he gave me quite a fright as I was cleaning this morning, just chilling under our sink, planning the kill, I know how spider work, they are not gonna fool me :) anyhow, other stuff, there is gonna be a baptism next week, I am really excited, and wow, it is amazing to see the difference of someone who is really prepared to accept the gospel, it is impresionante :) This week we have decided to try and make peach cobbler, I am excited... it will be good... 
hey something I was reading today, from Holland in Conference :)
"Please remember tomorrow, and all the days after that, that the Lord blesses those who want to improve, who accept the need for commandments and try to keep them, who cherish Christlike virtues and strive to the best of their ability to acquire them. If you stumble in that pursuit, so does everyone; the Savior is there to help you keep going. If you fall, summon His strength. Call out like Alma, “O Jesus, … have mercy on me.”7 He will help you get back up. He will help you repent, repair, fix whatever you have to fix, and keep going. Soon enough you will have the success you seek."
Love you guys, have wonderful weeks

Too Many Adventures

Hello Family and friends, this week has been really fun and interesting and kinda crazy :)
So for starters, we got to help a family with the baptism of their son Nico, it was wonderful and we had four investigators come, and now everyone wants to get baptized :) I am really excited :) So other good times a dog wanted a quick snack and took a bit out of my leg... saying it like that it makes it sound like I lost my leg, it really is not too bad, but kinda scared me :) but hey good times, the only thing is now we have to go back to that house to check to see if the dog is still alive, because if not... I might have rabies :) really good times 
Other stuff, A member threw me and my companion a little birthday party it was super cute, my comps birthday was the 26th and mine the 27th, it was cool ,and fun, who would of thought my first birthday in south America :) 
After being in this area for 4 and a half months, a pet parrot of a member FINALLY chilled on my arm, now Polly and I are officially best friends :) 
Other stuff, not really my best luck this week, I ran it to a tree today and got a scrape on my forehead.... everyone keeps asking what it is, and are not content to accept my answer that I fought with a tree and while he gave it his best efforts did not prevail :)  
But hey this week was great really, I am loving every day and really I have decided, I am never going home, but hey love you guys, good luck with this week, and hey talk to you guys soon :) 
Happy mothers day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
