hello hello! So as far as the work goes this week was a little dull and hard. but thats alright, it happens. So my district leader is Elder Contreras from Honduras. me and him have the weirdest relationship, we hate each other but at the same time we get along like really well and sometimes we are like best friends, and then we hate each other again, its just a hit and miss depending on the day. So he calls me Friday night and he´s all, ¨Outsen Canche, I´m really stressed.¨ and I´m all well Elder I´m real sorry but I don’t really know what you want to do about that. and he was like, lets play soccer, and I was like whateves Elder you´re in charge not me. So he called the zone leaders and got permission to have a distress district get together. Since our district is only us 4 in the house and the two elders it was just the six of us. So we made our way to their area saturday morning and played a stress relieving game of 3 vs 3 soccer. Elder Contreras and Elder Garcia are both really good so it was super fun and after we played uno, turns out that is NOT  a popular game here in the spanish world regardless of its uno title because the only two people that knew how to play it were me and hna valeriano. It was really nice to hang out with my district one last time before changes, I love them all! Elder Garcia is from Guatemala and he is the most awkward and weirdest person on the planet, me and Valeriano call him pobresito. but he is so entertaining, he makes me laugh so hard. On Thursday when he walked into zone meeting I was like hi Elder Garcia and he looks at me so confused and says, ¨que es hi?¨ so I explain to him that hi means hola and he was like oh okay. and then on Saturday when I saw him again I was like hi Elder Garcia and he was like Bien. ha ha ha. Hes getting sent off to the cold mysterious mountains that are 4 hours away in the all Elders zone so thats the last english word I will teach him because I will probably never see him again. 

    So anyway, thats my district... So since really nothing happened this week how about I just tell you a quick story and call it good so I can go write Hermana Pineda before she goes home on wednesday, I think I might die, favorite person in the whole world. So remember how in my first house we had a bit of an ant infestation problem, and in my second house there was the cockroach problem...well this house has a bit of a rat problem. So on Saturday night we came home and I walked into my house and turned on the light and saw a HUGE rat (biggest one I have ever seen, at least twice the size of the picture I sent home of me holding the rat) on my desk. so when he saw me he ran between my legs and hid under the fridge. I started screaming and the super cool member we live with in our duplex house thing, Mario, heard my scream and came running to the rescue. I told him what happened and he gave me a broom and told me to kill it. I looked at him like he was crazy and said you must be joking. He laughed really hard and reassured me that yes he was joking. So anyways. He moved the fridge and the rat ran out and sprinted into the room where we keep our clothes and hid under MY hamper. Mario chased it hitting it with his broom in an attempt to beat him to death but ended up on his back with both feet in the air, I was screaming my head off and laughing at the same time and my comp was hiding in the bathroom. So he continued chasing it around the house and smacking it with a broom. Sadly the rat won and escaped through the hole in our wall, who knows what he is up to now, probably eating all my tostadas I just bought.

   Well I am happy, I am healthy, my comp is great! Everyone here is also obsessed with the world cup, it is all anyone every talks about. and it is always on and everyone gathers wherever they can find a tv to watch, so I am very updated. Because my comp is Mexican, we are rooting for Mexico. We just watched the game in McDonalds with all the missionaries in Reu, Las Palmas, San Felipe, and the office and everyone is very content with the 3 to 0 win of Mexico. Viva Mexico. no somos inicuos...  anyway.... love you to the moon and back. Have a safe trip to Seattle and tell Sam to send me some pics because hermana Terry tells me that Seatle is real pretty. 

con mucho amor,
