October 10, 2016 - I am sweating from places I did not know produced sweat...

Hey Fam!!!


So week one in Villao (Slang for Villavicencio which I will use lots because it is faster to type) is done. Welp to get the obvious out of the way, it is very hot here. Very hot. I have no idea what the temperatures are here but it sucks (low's in low 80's and high's in the 90's with no A/C anywhere not even at church). Also, it rains quite a bit here. Probably about 5x's a week. The people here are super nice! Not at all like Bogota. It is like the difference between your average person from New York City and your average person from the South. But at the same time they are really hard to teach because it is so hot that people never want to do anything at all. We didn't get too many days of rain with hurricane Matthew, funny name right? But it was raining so hard it literally hurt when it hit you for a few hours. The apartment here is well really gross. I bought a bunch of stuff to clean it today so that was expensive. The work here is really frustrating. We were having some really good success in my last area and we had a bunch of people progressing, but here there is nothing. We had 3 investigators progressing before I got here, but they split the area because there are now 6 missionaries in this tiny branch and the area that now belongs to the new sisters has all 3 investigators... So yeah. Every time I have a really good experience with Spanish something immediately happens that just absolutely crushes any confidence that I had. We had a training with President which was good. Also there are 2 other Nortes from my group in the zone, there are about 20 of us in the zone. Elder Harris and I weighed ourselves right before I left and I have lost 32 pounds since I went into the MTC so that is good. Anyway, nothing else to say! Love yall tons! Have a great week!
