Hola hola,
how is everyone at home? I'm alive don't worry! so, this week was a good one for sure! we're getting the ball rolling now, which is really exciting. we got like 10 lessons this week, which doesn't sound like much, until you compare it to the 4 that we had the week before. definitely not how i imagined the Idaho boise spanish mission! but the story is that this mission was very successful when it opened. now, all of the hispanics have already talked to missionaries a couple times, and it's more surprising to find one who hasn't than someone who has. BUT, i'm having fun nonetheless! lots of driving, and finding, and knocking on random doors hoping a hispanic person answers. haha thats missionary work though isn't it? we found a new investigator this week. i might have mentioned her before, she is the cat lady? no se. she has like a thousand cats at her house, one of them has legitimate thumbs and sits down like a human cause it broke its back or something, and another doesn't have an eye, its funny. but i'm super allergic as we all know. we haven't had dinner with a member for a week or so, so i've been eating at this little taco truck a lot, where the lady speaks to us in spanish. i ate a lengua taco the other day, (tongue). it was surprisingly good, but i probably won't do it again. haha but i love hispanic people. quite a bit actually. they are so much fun to talk to, and everyone talks to you like they have known you for years. its just fun. it's like that with gringo members too though. the people are super nice here, and the area is beautiful. it's changing colors right now, and they are just finishing up the harvest so it's pretty. not much else to say. i'll write a hand written to the family, don't worry mom. things are going well in the idaho boise mission, and i pray that they are the same at home. i love you all, and i will ask you again, pray for the missionaries. pray for their success. pray for the people out there too, cause they are the ones who make the change. i love you all. be good, keep your chins up, smile, and be happy!
