THE ONE WHERE IF THE SALSA AINT SPICY WE DONT WANT IT

this week was super super long!! but, one of our investigators from lascano got baptized last week!!! so thats super awesome!!! also...i legit saw the scariest dog i have everrrrr seen in my life...like it was legit almost the same as the 3 headed dog from harry potter except the only difference was it had 1 head and it could JUMP like we kissed at it to scare it away back into its yard and no joke it almost jumped over the fence!!! it was so so scary!! 
also i tried making that hot chocolate with mareinge and uhhhhh it was a fat fail...basically we dont have electric hand mixers here so we tried whipping the egg in the blender and uhhhh...lets just say the egg didnt get whipped at all haha...but its fine...im just never trying that again haha but its okay cause i just decidd o make the chickfila lemonade i know how to make sooooooo try my lifeeeeee haha

alsooooo ya girl learned how to salsa!! so i learned how to do the steps right? normal alright whatever, but i also learned how to "do the salsa with some spice" basically i learned how to use my hips and do a twirl or two haha but it was fun! i live in a house of 4 so that night after studies as definitley a party!!!

THE ONE WHERE I STILL HATE DOGS...WITH A PASSION!

Hola Amigos!! Este semana era muy bueno, pero lluvío mucho!!! haha so this week the weather was pretty interesting if im being honest...so basically tuesday was super super pretty and it was warm so i didnt wear a jacket and i legit got sunburned on the back of my neck!! but then guess what happened, it was cold and rainey the rest of the week!! so now begins the mission tan lol

also i had intercambios with hermana baugh again!! shes from georgia too and we live in the same house so we're eachother's little piece of home! but we had a really great time, we say a lot of the same things and we cook the same way haha so i have a new friend for after the mission!!!

also one time this week we had lunch with a member and he asked me where i was from so i definetly said georgia and pulls that up on google maps and gives me a scared look and he goes "do you have slaves?" and he only asked this because i had told him i basically live on a farm but it was diffictult trying to exp'lain to him that slaved are not a thing anymore cause i dont have that kind of vocabulary haha

also. i freakin got bit by a dog. i hate dogs. theyre super mean here but this is how we live life here haha trying not to get bit by dogs.

anyways i hope you guys have a great rest of the week now that im an official missionary for being bit by a dog!!

THE ONE WHERE I BECAME THE SON OF ANDER

Hola!!! Este semana realmente era muy bien!!! So i got to my new area and received my new companion, her name is Hermana Rojas!!! she's from colombia and doesnt know a lick of english at all haha so ive been speaking spanish for about 5 days straight now!! im already kind of catching myself mixing spanish with english which is super annoying cause i keep having to retype words in english so sorry in advance for the random spanish!

So this week the work was way way way better than in Lascano!! we found 9 new people to teach in 3 days (which is really good for my comp and i because she said that never happens haha but she keeps calling me a "capa" which means super awesome but idk im just out here doing my job) but anyways we were lucky to have that many in a week in lascano!!! also theres actually youth in this area and theyre all so fun!! we play soccer with them every saturday morning and they have decided to start calling me "Gringa" because well...im american haha but they all said im pretty good at soccer for being an american which is shocking because i actually SUCK at soccer haha but its fun. also theres a family that we teach and they're super super awesome and the kids love me because of my accent haha but we sing hymns before every charla to invite the spirit and the kids usually never sing but they were all crouding around me trying to share my hymn book to sing and it made the dad cry so that was super awesome!!

at church they have a small ward of maybe 50 people which is actually pretty decent for here and they have a real church building and a real baptismal font haha its sooooo different from my last area!! the members are amazing!!! theyre all so so so welcoming and they tried to guess where i was from and they all gussed places like argentina, brazil, bolivia, and peru haha none of them thought i was american until i said "Soy Hermana Anderson y soy de los estados unidos" haha then they started telling everyone that i was "the son of ander" and that i was from the united states haha. but everyone seems to love my accent which is funny to me because i dont even sound THAT gringa haha. sunday school here is the best because we study the come follow me lessons together and this week they acted out the whole thing hahahaaaa it was so so so funny because they dressed up too!!

my zone here is super awesome!! there's a bunch of us and we always do some sort of sporting activity every week haha this week we played broom hockey which was probably a little bit dangerous because i got my fingers squished a few times in between broomsticks but its okay haha it didnt hurt that bad! we also played capture the flag and basketball which was super fun as well, but all in all i really like my new area!!
