Boda

Well this week has been a pretty awesome week. On saturday Yuan and emperatriz got married and then emperatriz got baptized that night. The baptism was really cool we had a ton of people from the ward there and a lot of investigators too. During the time after the baptism when they are getting changed, we showed the restoration and it was really spiritual. It was really cool for our investigators because they saw kind what happened and it clicked a little bit more to them. We have got a lot of progressing investigators that are coming a long really well this one lady that we are teaching has a really strong testimony of the gosple and she wants to get baptized so bad. She addicted to smoking though right now but she is working and praying really hard to stop it. Our last lesson we taught her about fasting and how we can fast for more help from the Lord. So we keep praying for her and I know she will brake the habit, we set a goal for her and I know she will brake it if she has faith that the lord can help her. 

To answer some questions we walk everywhere to get around. when we go somewhere we walk, it is our mode of transportation. Also we eat rice and bean everyday. They have want they call "the bandera" which is like their main meal that they have at least once a day and it is rice and beans. They always ask us what is the bandera in america? and we tell them that we don´t have one, we eat whatever food we want to eat anyday, and it is crazy to them. For them it is basically not a meal if you don´t have rice. Like you can have a ton of other food but if there isn´t rice then its not a meal it´s pretty funny. But it is good because I really do like rice and I like the bandera too it tastes good.

That picture is taking at a place we were contacted one day, which is pretty close to my apartment.

Also, for the wedding we baked a cake! HA we gave it to them at the baptism and like had them cut it and stuff. It was really funny because the cake cutting tradition doesn´t exist down here so we had them do it and then we gave cake to everyone at the baptism. They went crazy over it, they thought we bought it. But that is probably just because people don´t think you can bake for yourself down here. Most people that have ovens use it as a storage area because they think that that is what it is for, its pretty funny.

Anyways all is good here and we are just going to keep being gringos and of course we are going to keep eating our rice! I´ve notice that the mission and Mcdonalds have a lot in common because Im loving it! HA anyways I love you all
