Hey family so this letter is going to be a little shorter then it should be, but it's all good. :)

So basically this week was a ton of traveling.

Monday we went out and were in Filadelfia to pass our p-day because we still don't have a computer.  So we were just kicking it, doing to the normal stuff and then we went to sleep.

Tuesday we went to Abundancia and had our distrcit meeting, nothing really too cool. Jusr the same old.  We need to be finding the people to baptize.  Nothing too cool.;)

Then Tuesday we get on the bus to go back to Fili, and when we get there to go take out the money to pay for our rent they said that my money wasn't in my account, that it was in the account of my companion’s card who was in Asuncion.  So that was pretty interesting, haha.  So that was interesting because I was like “okay, I’m going to go and pull it out on Thursday because the DL’s wanted to do a division... 

Wednesday we went out and we did our thing, talked to some families.  Our branch president was out of town and we couldn't talk to him, but we talked to Leonardo and Isabelle and they ended up coming to church so that was super cool. ;)  Nothing too cool just some good teaching. ;)

Wednesday the district leaders called and wanted to do some divisions, and to be honest it is almost the end of the change and I just didnt want to do it, haha.   So I told them I had some things to do in Filidelfia, but sure we can do it.  But on Thursday morning my desires to do a division were still not the highest.. So I then told him that i dont want to do the division and that we should just do it the next week, to which he responded that we needed to do one.  So I accepted it, and I went in to Filidelfia to take out the money and to start our division. Turns out as soon as I got to Fili on Thursday I didn't have my passport so I got to not have the divison and they did one with Fili instead, haha. It was super sick because I just really wasn't feeling one and I ended up tossing it onto Luke.  Haha

Friday we went out and did some work, then went to Fili in the night - nothing too cool. We went to go take out the money on Saturday morning, but I realized that they didn't give me the code to be able to go back and take the money out.  That was frustrating because they  closed at like 11:30 and I wasn’t able to take out the money.  And then we went to go get onto the bus at 6 and turns out that the bus wasn’t  there.  So we had to come back to Abundancia at 5 o’clock in the morning on Sunday to go to church, then we went back to Fili on Sunday night. 

So as y'all can see I am traveling a lot, and I realized that the money I am spending on all the traveling is actually super crazy because I am paying for my comp as well.  Hopefully he wll be able to pay me back when I pull out his money. :) 

But ya not much happened this week due to all the traveling ... I love yalll 

And hopefully I can write y'all a little bit more next week.. I loved seeing y'all, and I’ll be seeing you in like seven more months!  Haha
