8-11-14

So this week was really good! It was my birthday on Monday and we had a great time- we played basketball with some members and I got a new camera too- one with a rechargeable battery and a really sick camera too. SONY Cyber shot 16mpg. So we were shooting with some of the members and then I played three on three with some other guys there. In basketball I had only about 20 blocks and could score literally at will! :) It was fun haha. We went to a suarway thing which is like a FHE. But it was in a fairly small room and there was a huge table in the middle with some snacks and drinks. Somehow they had a little over 40 people in this room! We got there a little late and crammed in and it was sooo hot though! I almost died. We had subway hamburgers for dinner too!
This week weve had some problems with our water too. Some mornings it had not been on. So Wednesday and Thursday some of us had to go showerless which always kinda stinks since we also cant shave or anything either. Our zone leaders came Wednesday morning. Wednesday morning I also made oreo milkshakes and they were literally the best things ever. I don't know if I've ever had anything better haha. I bought some Rayban sunglasses from some part member investigators that we have for 3000 AR, yeah so a little over a dollar.
Ooh yes. So Thursday morning Nanova who binds books and things called and said he had finished with my books. We had asked to get like zippered covered and the pages colored green. He said he might not have green so he would do red if he didnt have green. So he gives them to me thursday morning, and they are just like hard covered bound. The pages are all colored pink and he put in pink bookmarks too. WOW. It was sorta lame haha. And to make it even a little more girly is that there is a girl in our ward that has the same pink pages and bookmarks. ... But anyway its pretty good. I'll live. We went to clean this new investigators house on Thursday. It was small but we were still there for 3 hours! Everything was coated in dirt and there was some nasty stuff in there. But we managed to survive and it was fun to do as well. There was a house on the hill blasting music so loud that we could hear it across town back by our apartment and we were teaching a recent convert family that live like right next to them and haha I could not hear anything. We saw a guy sculpting a chicken out of cement too. We were also teaching a lesson in someones fairly small house and there were like 15 baby chickens that came in and were chirping so loud. For like 50 minutes-chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp. Ayaiah. Two 8 year old kids got baptized on saturday-they have a little pool they fill up outside to do them in. ALso something else really funny is the english songs people have here. For some reason just about every youth in our ward and that I've met have the song Pink-Give Me a Reason and they play it allll the time. Its insane how much I've heard that song already..
Ooh and Sunday night we walked one of the branch missionaries back home. It was dark already and so we are talking to her aunt and cousins and what not since they all live like right next to each other. And you have to climb up a little dirt hill on a path made from tires and junk to get there, But they tell us not to walk back by this church- because apparently someone has been killing people around there at 7 pm. So I look at my watch and oh- guess what 7 pm. So that was a little creepy to be walking home knowing.... But a good week, restocking on the milkshake supplies today.
