Shoelaces-6 months in the field

hey evryone,

this week was just alright. my comp is dead and doesnt want to work real hard but thats fine i guess. if i stay another transfer(transfers are this coming week) i will ressurect him. im trying now but its hard. especially when its really hot and he doesnt want to work and also saturdays are hard cuz we waste lots of time in the tiangies. another weird thing about my comp is that he punches things. we`ll be walking along and he will punch a tree or a wall randomly. i dont really know what to think about that but it doewsnt bother me much.

zapatos: this week i bought new shoes. i got some sweet brown slip ons. they are really comfy but i think they are going to run out really fast. i bought them for 250 pesos or about 19 dollars. so im sure they wont last. it was kind of a dumb purchase looking back but im only going to use them on sundays and tuesdays to make them last. at least they look good.

fronton: you guys probably dont remember but i wrote about fronton in my first area. its a game that they play alot here. there is a big wall that they hit a tennis ball against with their hand. its like raquet ball i guess. but today we were were going to play. me and my comp but all of the walls were taken. rayos! but ill try to play next week and tell you how it goes.

and the story of the week:

chiflando niñas: so here people wistle or make a chh-chh noise to get your attention. and most of the time its used to cat call or say "what up baby?" so we were walking passed this school this week and all the little kids were going to school. so i was walking along and i heared someone making the chh-chh noise. so i turned to se who it was just out of curiosity ove course. i dont see anyone but a bunch of 5 and 6 year old kids. and then one of them waves at me says "hola" all sexy like. i was so confused and didnt know what to do. i thought did that just happen? so i said "hola" back and kept walking. i guess they teach the kids young to try to catch a gringo and get him to take you o the states. hahaha. but seriously.

well thats about it for this week. we got blanked again in the church. but we found a really cool family. we will se if tehy will progress or just do nothing like our other investigators.

thanks for the love and support.
