We got a face time call ! You get a email and pictures

hey,
this week has been so crazy it has gone by so fast. 
each week here feels like one day it so so crazy how fast time flys here. 
on Tuesday not that much happened. 
we went tracting and we knocked on this really bright yellow house and looking at the house we were like they are going to be so happy and nice. 
so we knocked and asked if he faith in Jesus Christ and he was like I am very much a satanist. and we were like oh okay have a good day. 
BUUUTTT he had a tear drop tattoo which we all know what that means and then he had a red line that went from his chin straight now his whole neck ( so if someone could look that up and see what it means and tell me that would be great because i want to know!!!) but he was nice he told us to stay safe. 
then we also asked someone named solem to pray about being baptized on march 9 so that is way cool.
on Wednesday not that much happened we got to go tracting in the rain which is one of the funnest things ever, it so fun and when you get in the car and your hair is dripping its so cool, its my favorite thing i love it. 
Thursday what a great day. we had a Spanish culture meeting where this man from Columbia came and talked to us about the culture and history of his people . it was way cool and i learned so much. he also runs this business in Columbia where they make bracelets and he gave us each a way cool bracelet.  then we had a lesson with  a recent convert named Salvador. he is so nice he is one of my favorites. but anyway he has a indoor pig!! yeah its so cute and it has blue eyes and its vegan . i got to feed it lettuce and he made us dinner and he made me a really good salad, but the pig kept jumping up on my legs and i would feed it some of my salad it was so cute. then before we were leaving he was like wait and he went and got us these lil bears he got for us and a rose for Valentine’s Day .  we had also told him we were bringing a member with us and he got her one to it was the cutest thing ever. 
on Friday we went to pep boys to get our car fixed for like 4 hours but we stopped and got ice cream so we just sat there and talked to some people there and ate ice cream. Also on this day we were tracting and there was this helicopter fly above us and it was saying something and then we heard what they were saying "we have located the missing child send help" so that was strange and then a few minutes later this cop goes riding by on a bike way fast. 
we had a lesson with flor she was baptized last week and I  love the happiness she now has. 
then Saturday we had a meeting in the morning and the guy brought us mango on a stick they were so good!!! everyone is so nice here and a lot of people in the ward found out i was vegan and they bring me oreos they are all so nice. 
theeeennnn we went tracting again we LOVE tracting and we knock on this one door and the lady was Indian or Hindu were not sure but she wasn't interested in Jesus Christ but then i told her i liked this decoration at her house and i asked her if she made it (she did) and she was like take off your shoes and come in so we took them off and went in. it was like another country it was insane. she said they were about to worship their gods she had like 35 people coming over, and they sing and dance and offer fruits and flowers it was so cool. she showed us the room where everything was going to happen and they had so many flowers and fruit and pictures of their gods. it was one of the coolest things ever it was so amazing. then we were late for dinner so we had to run like more than a half of mile back to our car, it was crazy. 
also we meet a lot of people with dreads and they are automatically my bffs we met this guy and i told him i loved his hair, and then we talked to him about the book of Mormon and gave him one and he was so excited to read it. 
Sunday night i was taking a picture of the sunset and this guy walks by and was like take a picture of me. and we were like hah and then got in the car and then i was like we should actually take a picture with him. and my hermana was like no, so then we started driving , then we saw him again and i was like thats a sign we have to. 
so we got out and were like heyyy were here to take a picture with you. he was way cool and we talked to him about the book of Mormon for like 25 minutes and then we gave him one, and as he was walking he was reading it!! 
thennnnn yesterday. we worked so hard yesterday. we had 45 unplanned contacts on a normal day our goal is 10. we shared the gospel with so many people we knocked on more than 64 doors and talk to more than 60 people it was insane. we also had an amazing lesson, and taught like 5 people at the one house it was so crazy. we also got snow cones from this one guy we got to order in Spanish it was the coolest and the juice was fresh strawberry juice it was so amazing. we learned that hard work pays off!!! 
love you have a great week
