Hola mis amigos!  ( More Pictures will be posted later this week.)

Hey so this week has been good! I swear it has never been this hot in Colombia since the Spaniards cultivated this place but I am getting through it! Ha ha We were supposed to move out of our house by now but our land lord is pissed because she said we have a contract and we cant leave so that is just one big mess. We found an awesome house on the second floor and it is way nice but we can't move now thanks to that crazy Colombian!!

The baptism that I told you guys about fell through which really sucked because we haven't baptized in a while but we are finding more people who are interested so that is nice I guess! It is hard because the basic rule in the mission is if you have 8 baptism dates you will baptize 4 so we need to find a ton of people to put a ton of dates but it is really hard to find people here that are interested. Almost everyone says that they want to listen when really they have no interest at all! They can't say no which is kind of frustrating!

But I don't know if I told you guys but we rented a washing machine and it is the best thing in the world! We just hook it up to our sink and wash clothes all day! Ha ha it totally beats washing clothes in a bucket every night! ha ha I am doing good though, it is super hot but I am getting a little bit more used to it every day I think!! The work is hard just like always but we are getting through it!

We have changes next Monday so we will see if I have a new area or a new companion or what but I wont know till Monday night so I will have to let you know in 2 weeks!!

Spanish is coming good, I understand just about everyone but there are some people who just talk a million miles an hour and cant understand a thing!! ha ha

I have given like 5 blessings for the sick this week too! It was pretty nerve racking for my first one but I can get through them alright! they are just short and sincere! Ha ha but it is a pretty cool experience to help the people who are feeling sick!

Elder Welling first companion!



The other day too we were walking around looking for houses and we hit this spot where the houses just ended and we looked over this little hill and there was absolutely nothing! it was crazy! ha ha it was just straight jungle and farms! It is like 30 seconds from our house and I had no idea but that was pretty cool to find I guess! And the other day I found MOUNTAIN DEW!! It is pretty expensive but worth every single peso!! Ha ha it was pretty nice to have and my new goal in Colombia is to buy a hammock! We will see if I can find one! :)

Colombia is still ghetto, I feel like am the only gringo in this country, and I eat rice and soup every single day! Ha ha but I am doing good and I hope everyone has a great week!!



Elder Watts had to sleep on the top bunk with his dirty clothes as his matress!
