Viernes: Today i went on a division to y´bera with elder Galdamez from el salvador. He is a pretty cool guy with a great backstory.he is a convert and hasnt had the easiest life but he is pretty cool. He hs three weeks in the mission so it was cool to get to train him for one morning. And after that we headed out to lunch only to find out that the hermana had left with out letting us know. so we swent and bought some and then got to work.

Sabado: Today we played basketball for morning workouts wile the baptismal font drained. it was fun, after which we cleaned the font for the baptism and then eft and went and studied and did weeklyplanning. after that we went around to a bunch of people who said that they would be home, and then had to go meet new people, we did met this super cool couple who live close to the church they ust travel a bunch of weekend, but they were super cool. Then we went and taught the fmailia cristaldo who has 2 sons that havent been baptized with ages of 19 and 21. they are super cool. After that we went and shared with Liz and ehr friend and then we went and had a super good baptism. After that we tried to go get a couple more lessons, but no one was home, so we went and tried this pizza place in our area and it was super delicuos... better than pizza hut down here. Also, Elder Ellefson lost his house keys, so him and elder Anton came over to our house to stay the night because they had hno wayin.. it was fun.
