First week in the field. man this is a lot harder than i thought it would be... BUT the lord is with me every step of the way. my comp is elder salas from argentina. few fun facts about him, he playyed pro soccer, broke his ankle, and here he is on the mish. he has been out for 10 months. and hes so kind, hes helping me a ton, plans of going to byu and playing soccer there after. my first area is patapo, its poor, pretty poor. but its good! we have 2 baptisms on the 27th. and we found a family that is perfect. one of their daughters reminds me so much of holland its the most preacious thing. when we got here elder salas pranked me and told me that we were going to teach.i was pooped. when we got to the house it was our ward mission leader named edson. he had a cake inca cola, pictures... all of elder oldroyd my old comp. he heard wrong over the phone. it was the best tho, the people are so kind. they have near nothing. but sooooo giving.the launguage is good, i worry to much i think, all the people tell me its fine and i have good pronuncation. so thats good. today was our first pday and it was great, elder blood from sandy utah is in our zone and were good pals, it was fun. we went and played soccer as a zone all morning i got way burnt but it was good!! theres also a guy that just sits outside our cuarto all day and all night yelling moto moto haha its funny. any ways, guys this is hard... but its hard because the price of salvation was not cheap. it costed our savior jesus christ his life. thats why this is hard. but i love it here. just need to get more used to it. its so good tho. i would love to hear from you all, just stories and jokes and whatever else youve got haha love you all!!
