Broken Bikes

Everything is going great. This week went by really fast. One day we painted a lady´s house. that was fun. Our bikes broke. Well, my gears have never worked and everytime that pedal the chain skips. Then my comps pedal fell off. So, since i have longer legs i got on his and pushed it like a scooter, and he finally realized how bad my bike really is. before he was telling me that it wasn´t that bad. So we went to get them fixed, but he couldn´t. and then randomly that day, we saw some american guy that lives here. he said that he saw them and that he could fix them. i didn´t want to trust him, but my comp did. it was going to cost us 500 pesos for everything. well, we went to pick up the bikes, and they weren´t there. hopefully they´re there, were going to check again today. Well, this past week i´ve always eaten something for breakfast other than empenadas. eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, cereal....Anyway, we went to a few birthdays this week. At one they picked the girl up, Yafraisi, and carried her around everything just yelling her name. it was funny. At another we played some really fun games. I can´t describe them on here, but they were fun. one was like signs. This week we didn´t have light at all, so all the food that hansen bought went bad, or was really close. that sucked. And the reason why i didn´t hve empenadas was that he wasn´t there all week. he had the flu. The kids are getting pretty mean here lately. they´re always cussing at us and one hit me in the head with something, i don´t know what it was, but after that, they quit. Anyway, we have some pretty good investigators. Alot of them are asking us when they can get baptized. Morena told us that she felt really good when we come, when she reads, or when she goes to church with us, and says that because of that she knows it´s true. it´s awesome. she and gerald just need to get married. Guillermo and niña have been coming to church too and are saving up to get married and pay for birth certificates. We found out that an older missionary left a huge fund for that kind of stuff (his personal money) and that we can use it to help them as long as they make a sacrifice and pay for what they can. It´s awesome. But i don´t think either family will get baptized this transfer....we´re running out of time, which is crazy. time flies. hopefully i´ll be here next transfer to see them get baptized. We also have a lady, Albertina, who feels the same was as morena, which is cool, but she hasn´t had the opportunity to come to church. She´s really interested, but i think her husband is holding her back. we met with him for the first time a few days ago. he´s really nice, and i bet if we keep teaching him they´ll do what they need to to be baptized. Franklin is one of the ones begging to be baptized. he´s about 15, and is friends with rene and velins family and has been going to
church with them for along time, but we just started teaching him. he´s really good, but his parents are interested. They don´t mind if he gets baptized, but it´s always better to baptize the family. but hopefully he will help raifi to get excited to be baptized too. We´ve still been getting references, which is really good, and they seem like they´ll be good. Albertina was one. And because of that, i still have not done a single contact yet. Oh, and i forgot the time that my comp had to go do interviews. Well, elder holyoak came out to my area, and he came out with me. at first i was really scared about the spanish and getting lost in the area (it´s huge) but everything went great....except alot of people not being home, which kind of messed up our plans. but it was fun, and was a great growing experience. well, until next time, unless i think of more to say later.
