Daria mi vida por las frutas de aqui

I am sorry my letter took forever! It was hard for me to go two weeks without writing too. I realized I did not explain my pics last week, there was a pic of a tuk tuk, one with all my favorite people from my district in the ccm, one with elder sleight and elder heiner who both went to Brighton and my comp was in that one too, I would get paired with the only 6 ft. Latina on the planet, but she is great! and the last one was with the kids who were all lined up to get baptized on saturday with their parents but it didn't work out so hopefully this week or next. 
    Alexs mission pic is adorable, I am so excited for him! My guess is..... ENGLAND! 
Now for your questions, I live in this little apartment just my comp. and me but I do have a lot of other roommates who are not humans like spiders ants and lizards all over the place. I wash my clothes in my house with my hands on something called a pila. every single person here has one and one side is filled with water and the other side is a drain and you do dishes, cook, wash your clothes yada yada with it. My comp was shocked that I had never washed my clothes with my hands before, I haven't done or seen pretty much everything here so she probably thinks I’m a spoiled brat, which I kind of am so thats valid.
my mission president is new, we are his second transfer. he is a little tiny man from panama and he and his wife are very sweet! As for the language... as you can see from my subject last week, I still have much to learn. My spanish is pretty good in the morning but it gradually decreases throughout the day and once like 6 hits my brain is full. I am not really scared to talk even if i know i am saying it wrong because people understand that I am learning and they usually understand even if it doesn't make sense. there are a few words that I mix up constantly, beans and pamphlets, orange and spider, and knife and curly. so I am always saying freaky crap like, hey comp. lets buy spiders to eat because I love them! or hey read this bean, it will tell you all about our church! and last week a little girl in church was playing with my hair and told me it was beautiful and I responded with, thank you, your hair looks like a knife, so she probably wont ever talk to me again. I am getting really good at talking with my hands so thats fun! but I am very lucky to have a Latina comp. because I am learning really fast. I literally cant speak english unless I want to talk to myself, which I do more often than not. Last p day we painted the house of one of our investigators and today we played soccer, volleyball and basketball. It was a freakin blast!! I love sports so dang much!! I am so fried and I had no idea I could sweat that much but I loved it! soccer rocks! I love playing with the latinos! on pday we go into town and buy stuff then at night we have lessons. 
   so this week we did not have running water so I just didn't shower, ha ha ha just kidding mom, I shower everyday. but I did shower with a bucket so that was interesting! My area is Tzununa, its super pretty and its like a little town inside the city of Reu. the fruit here is to die for! every time I eat an orange or a tomato all my cares go away and I am in heaven!
 My comp learned a new phrase, I think she got this one from one of the members. The phrase is I love you baby and she says it to me all the time. its hilarious! she asked me if it was common to use that and I told her it totes was, I never thought I would hear that everyday on my mission. Well I luv ya and I hope you have a fantastic week!
