December 18, 2017 Before this week, it´s like my eyes were closed. It´s crazy. Our schedule was absolutely loco. We were out proselyting from 7 in the morning until 9:30 in the night. I got sunburned my first day. The rest of the time I wore sunblock to protect my face but mostly my arms.
December 11, 2017 Wow this week feels like a month looking back on it because I learned so much. I made so many mistakes, but I did so many things right, it was awesome. Normally planning takes 30 minutes to do. But Elder Tafur left me independent because it is Week 11, that is the
December 4, 2017 This next week we will be working 100 hours. We will be out in the field from 7 in the morning until 9 o´clock at night. So this is going to be interesting! More details in 2 weeks! (My progress in Spanish: I am still learning more and more words! I am

NOVEMBER 7, 2017 On Monday we had an opportunity to teach Hermano Bucheli. His family is all active but he never joined the church. He took the lessons with the missionaries about six months ago but he never seemed intrigued. Work was just too much of a burden for him to be interested. But we
October 30, 2017 This week, overall, was a little different because we couldn’t find people to teach but it lead me to think and feel differently. But on Monday we had a super awesome family home evening with Ana y Jaime! They are planning to get married legally here pretty soon in November! For Noche
October 23, 2017 Last Monday we had an opportunity to teach a member some English. Her name is Samanta and teaching her Spanish just makes me learn a whole lot more about how English actually works. She gave us this drink that tastes exactly like horchata but apparently horchata is something different here. I tried
