I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! (opposite of what batman says in the lego movie)

No really! Pinar is like the holy grail of the mission for me. I have only been here for like 4 days, but I am in love. Every member is super boss and wants to help in the work. For example, we got a text from our DOM (Ward mission leader) this morning that said "I have 8 familias incompletos (part member families) for yall to visit with 14 nonmembers, when can yall pass by?" I KNOW RIGHT!!!!! On top of that, we have 3 family home evenings set up this week with different member families , in two of which they are going to invite a few friends over to watch meet the mormons with us (Sorry mom, I had a feeling that that was in the birthday package so I took it out. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE YOU! I promise that was the only thing I took out). but yah!!!!!!!!!

oh on a less important note We have lunch everyday here!!!!! IM SO STOKED FOR THAT TOO! I lost a lot of weight in varela given that we had to cook for ourselves everyday and some weeks (when giro was low, or random expenses jumped in) we ended up just eating nothing but rice for 3-4 days in a row. I love this place. 

 

I will say that its been super cold. We ran out of gas for the furnace the other day and when we woke up there was ice everywhere outside and we were a bit cold inside. I will say I am extremely grateful for warm cloths. It is so nice:) Spandex and thermals for life!!!!!!

 

Best part of week! the day after I got here We headed over to teach an investigator named matias. He's totally progressing!!!!! And in the lesson were his cousin and his aunt. The next lesson we had with him there was an ex missionary, his aunt, uncle, cousin, and a member friend. Im super stoked for him. He still needs to gain a testimony but he has 2 assistances to church for all 3 hours:D

 

Oh and I have a super cool comp named Elder Salas. If you look up on the internet pics of Carlos Salas you might be able to find pics of him. Before the mission he was a professional international boxer. He's super great!!!:D

 

Anyways Love you all!!!!! Sorry that there arent any pics this week, this computer has problems and I dont know whats up with it.

 

Hope yall have a great week:D
