Four months this week

Wow so is anyone else like ¨Wow Andrew has already been out four months this saturday¨  Cuz I know I have said the exact same thing on several occasions.  (Only speaking of myself in the third person just a few times)

So I just love speaking spanish, I dont know why, Its just fun.  

So this week was really tough, like I feel like Im back in basketball season where we woke up everyday at 5 and practice in the mornings and are physically drained all day everyday.  We do a lot of walking... Like a lot we have a city about the size... well probably a little bit bigger that hurricane that is our area and we walk from one end to the other just about everyday. And to travel to the stake center is about an hour away in bus so we blow a bunch of money on that and we went to our Christmas conference there so we didnt have any money to take taxis this last week so yeah what Im trying to say is I AM TIRED OF WALKING.  And I am in a mission without cars and have 20 months left of this. 

And the worst part is, is the dang West Nile Virus that is still in my system started acting up again in my feet and so it has been just a joy as of lately.  But to be honest the hardest part is that nobody wanted nothing this week... Like I was really struggling trying to wrap my mind around this mission thing and why we go and look for people, and what I was doing wrong.  

I did a lot of praying and I received the answer that I wasnt talking to enough people, and of course I was like claro que si Im talking to enough people but still that kept coming to my mind so this week we changed from talking to like 300 people to like 800 and you know what we found three new people that I really think are going to be really good.  The craziest part was those people were the ones that I was like nah we dont need to talk to them, but then something was like bruh claro que si you need to talk to them, and we did.. and it was good.  

One thing that has really been on my mind a lot is the frase in the Book of Mormon ¨Oh how quick are men to forget the LORD their God.¨  And that is so true even us missionaries, I will pray for something and receive it and be all prideful like Im the one who made that happen and then later I will remember my prayer and be like wow how terrible of me to literally FORGET of the help, the LITERAL HELP that God gave me.  

Anyway Im tired of writing.. I really am doing good dont let me make you think otherwise Im having fun and time is flying.  

I have some birthday shoutouts that I would like to Send out
