References are Clutch





The hanging body is what they apparently do to robbers so it's to scare them away


I sometimes say Holla to people instead of Hola cause holla is sort've a greeting in English and theres some that legit think my Spanish is that bad...

Anyways pretty good week, they're starting to go by fast now and P day is already here and Im not really sure what to write about lol.

Everyone here buys second hand American clothes and the other day this guy was proudly reppin a buttoned up Cub Scout shirt/ uniform, representing troop 159 all the way in Sipe Sipe Bolivia it was sweet.

Been here 4 months and still it does not cease to amaze me how much privacy is NOT a thing here lol, something happenned this week and after my comp was like I need the sacrament right now and I firmly agreed, I can't really go into any more detail and still be a worthy missionary sorry.

So some days we spend 2 or 3 hours knocking doors, and no one will really be home or want to talk or anything, so we don't get too much done even though were working hard, buuuut we got a reference from a family thats not even members yet, they led us to this house (cause theres not really street addresses here) and we went around back and the whoooole family was there, Grandma and Grandpa, their 4 or 5 kids, and a trillion grand kids. We were able to contact them all and introduce ourselves and get a return appointment, so in 20 minutes we did what it normally takes much longer to do, so moral of the story, references are clutch, help out the missionaries.

See y'all in 18 months 22 days (I'm not trunky just decided to figure out the time left today).
