Well another week has passed by pretty darn fast. Crazy to think that it is already August 8. This week went pretty well for me though. As always we have been working quite a bit. We have been able to find some pretty promising people and have some success with the people that we already have.  We had a baptism this weekend! She was an investigator from Rafey that I had been teaching  since I was in Rafey back in March and now she lives in my area again, so we got to keep teaching her. I was able to perform the baptism so that was cool to do that.  Sunday was also her birthday so we bought a cake for her and went over there last night and had spaghetti and cake. It has been a long time since I have had cake and it wasn´t that good haha but the spaghetti was super tasty. In other news the Bishop asked us to sing a special hymn this Sunday and requested that we wear our suits. I don´t have one but borrowed a jacket from Elder Joseph. It was the first time... and the last time that I will wear a jacket on the mission. It was so hot. It didn´t help that there wasn´t electricity in the church during sacrament meeting which means no fans or AC!  We had 6 people there again and it was the second or third time for a couple of them so that was really cool. In other news something wasn´t paid right or done correctly in the mission office and so the water company came and cut our water supply. We haven’t had running water for 5 days. It sucked haha nothing but bucket showers and dirty dishes that we couldn´t clean because it was a waste of our reserve water that we have in a tank outside. I also have a lot of dirty clothes haha but as we were leaving the house to come here they were outside of the house putting a new pipe in so we will have water when we get home. It made me feel like I was camping haha although I think camping is more comfortable.  I am not quite sure if I will be leaving or not this upcoming transfer.  If I do that means I only have 16 more days here.   Life is good and is moving along.  Also fun fact, English and Spanish are mixing into the same language in my head so when I am thinking it is about 60% English 40% Spanish.  I love you lots and tell all of the family that I love them too.  Good luck with everything.
