Letter #11

hey everyone!!! we had another trying week. not really this one was easy but yesterday everywhere we rode on our bikes, the wind was blowing against us. it was hilarious but hard to ride. we just had interviews with president! he is so powerfull. he made everything so clear why i have been with my comps that i have been with. so not as many letters this week! but i just got a dear elder from matthew. i love the pictures ashley! that hike sounds so fun and i hope you are all there when i get back so that i can come visit and we can go hiking together. so this week we saw a dog get ran over! it was buy a huge tour bus. we havent had power in like 4 days! its so sad. all i can use is my flash light and it got dim pretty fast. but our frig is so warm so nothing kept and we had to move to another room so the light could go through the window so we can see. its dificult. so this month we have not had anyone come to church for the first time... until yesterday! they are an awesome family. well woman. her husband died not to long ago and she is so sweet. the next p-day we are going to learn how to make tortillas. i cant wait. then ill come home and make delicious tortillas. but she is awesome and i know that she will get baptised this coming week. im not going to doubt one bit. president helped me see how my experiences and shaping me and how i am bettering myself. its like i never want to baptise so that i can always find something to improve. everyday im going to give up something to improve. or im going to ride faster or im going to contact with love. something along those lines. we just got challenged by the APs to not speak in english only in spanish so we are going to do it. so we can improve. we need some revelation this week to help us with the work. we are doing a special fast this week. we are only going to eat during the scheduled comidas during the day. and not at night or in the morning. we are going to continue to drink water so we have some energy but its still going to be hard. we need revelation on how we can improve. we are also doing it so we can find people to bring to church and baptise. so if anyone wanted to keep us in your prayers that would be much appreciated. we are going to see miracles this week!!! i love my personal studies in the morning but i want to learn more and faster. its frustrating studying in spanish because i dont understand all the words while im reading so it takes me a while. but i love this quote about prayer! i feel like we can all improve our prayers, so here is this quote "la comunicación con nuestro padre celestial no es un asunto trivial. es un privilegio segrado." piensen en eso. and translate it hahah. so i got in an accident on thursday. i was flying around a corner and another person was coming around the adjacent side, and BOOM. elder slade was amazed. he had no idea how i dropped so fast. i slammed on the breaks and layed my bike over and somehow the only thing was i hit his front tire and got a tiny scratch on my arm. the other guy was still on his bike and nothing happened to him. so it was a miracle... but he was on my side of the street. i love the bread here. there is this bread in the shape of a football that is just soooo delicious. also this morning we found donuts!!! they actually taste good. that is a miracle. and that pig is ginormous!!! its the size of that truck bed. it was three times the size of the biggest hog i had ever seen. its snout was bigger than my palm. and that is how we are studying without light. so i need the recipe for the waffles cd player. the mp3 cd player walkman is fine. no ipods or any mp3 players cds. only motab and artists that are playing church songs. and lots of them rain coat! i dont have one yet and i have gotten wet many of times. reeses they are like gold here and so are snickers. journal simple blue one make sure it is easy to right next to the spine. memory cards!!! i cant think of anything else. im sure ill think of something as soon as i leave and i wont be able to get it for a while.
