Heyooo.

This week we had a TON to do. We had transfers this week which meant a bunch of crazy work going on, also even more because our car is still in the shop. It was a really full week that's for sure. We had all of the new missionaries show up on Tuesday. Some of us went out and tracted with them while they waited for their first interview with President. It was a good time with them. They ended up sleeping at our house and asking us a million questions about the mission and if it was ever going to cool down hahaa... nope! :/  

After they left we had another crazy day of getting things done for transfers, full of pizza runs, phone calls, and random shenanigans. The elders who were going home the next day stayed the night at our house. We had a great time with them, talking about all their old areas and fun stories. 
I have a lot more on my plate as far as work goes, which honestly makes me happier! 
Sadly, I don't have very much to tell y'all about with teaching people. We did have a 9am lesson with a lady though, it went okay haha. 

I have started reading the new testament in spanish for the first time this week. I am learning a couple new words as I do it so I see it as killing two birds with one stone. Learn doctrine, and learn spanish! I have no idea if my spanish is getting better or not here because I speak a lot of english in the office. Gotta stay on top of that haha
Most of my days just consist of running errands, running stuff to peoples houses, or working on the computer! Not much to tell yall about haha

We did however, go to the zoo today. We had to take some supplies to some missionaries out in my old zone, yojoa. The zoo was relatively close so we got permission to go for P-Day. BEST ZOO TRIP OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. We played with a TIGER for about 30 minutes. She just kept coming up to the edge of the  fence and would rub herself up on the fence, just like a cat does with our legs. It then decided to chase us around the cage. There is a pool and it was running through the water and pouncing up on the fence to get us. It got us super soaked from the water as it jumped up at us. After jumping up, it would try to get petted from us. Best experience ever! I uploaded some videos of it. Our cameras were all dying. Aside from that, we saw a bunch of cool animals and I even touched a couple of them. Among which were; a tiger, a monkey, an anteater, a waterbuffalo, and a mink tried to scratch my shoe. It was the best P-Day ever.
Also we met a whole STAKE there. There were a bunch of little mormoncitos with there Capitan Moroni flags and matching shirts running around. A lot of the leaders were wondering why we were there on Saturday haha we had to explain our situation several times. It was awesome! 

Anyway, keep on keeping on everyone. Keep the missionaries in your prayers, we need'em!
