Well another week down. Things here are getting a lot better, 1. received my church credit card, so I now have money. 2. I understand a lot more spanish which is perfect. It has been pretty much the same as all other missionary weeks, You knock on doors, teach some lessions, get some doors slammed in your face. one thing that was different is that last week we had a mini ccm. Where everyone that was preparing to serve a mission in the stake joined a missionary for a day. I was so excited until I was told that they were splitting up my companionship for it. So I had 2 latinos with me and my comp had 2 different ones. And I was suppose to show them how to teach and such. Yeah that didn`t happen since I don`t know spanish. I just told them they it was there day to learn, and that I don`t want to talk at all. So they taught everything. It was great!! Yesterday we taught all day with miembers too. Today we went to a different town that is in my area like 30 minutes away. and hiked a mountain, with a couple of miembers (this hiking experience was better since I didn`t have my broken foot this time). Then played soccer for like another hour, overall it was a good day and week.
Some people have been wondering what it is like here so. It is really hot! which scares me a little because the hottest months here is december and january. I am living in a very very dry desert, so there is a lot of dust and wind too. It was pretty funny, a familia was trying to explain to me lightning and thunder. because it never happens out here. they were so scared of it. I don`t know how they really get water for their crops.
As for some good news, I will be having my first baptism this saturday. So that is cool. Some more things I have learned. 1. Latinos are very loving, so loving that it freaks and bugs me some time. 2. Dad`s grasshopper would be in heaven here. Because that is like the biggest car here. 3. Wear sunscreen.

2. My children that I took care of in the ccm the night before we left.
Though for the week, read DyC 84 and think of how it can help you, especially vs. 77-89 they helped me in the past week.
Until next week With love Elder Tyrone Mufasa Chanchino Olsen.
