Hey there good lookin Family!!! After pday, Elder Barrios still had to get some stitches taken out at the dentist. We talked to our neighbor about where to find a dentist and then went around the area trying to spot the dentist. We found one that was in the top of na apartment building. We came in and the lady asked what we needed. Elder Barrios was just straight up about it and then she took us into her working area and just started operating. She used a bunch of tools and even some numbing fluid. She got it out. We were expecting to hear a large number fo the cost, but she said just 5 € for the supplies! So cool! She said she knew what we did but she didn't want to hear it. Haha, she was super nice though!!! Super good person!!!! Wish she gave us a chance to talk to her about the church. Later this week, we visited a super nice member family that will always give everything they have to feed us. The mom was inside a room talking on the phone and her kids answered the door an...

Hey there good lookins!!!! I got to read your letters, you all sound like a bunch of rockstars!!!! Im seriously so luck to have you all in my life. Wouldn't want any other family!!! Im remembering all the times you all were so supportive and so patient with me. I think about you and and pray for you all. Its such a neat thing to know the importance of family. This week was super neat!!! Im starting to get a little more comfortable making appointments with people over the phone. That has been the scariest thing for me with the language is talking to people over the phone because I have to respond, I cant look over to my companion, and the phone gets muffly sometimes, so its hard just to hear. But, these past few days, we´ve really been using our area book, and we got to make tons of calls and set tons of visits with new people!!! Super neat!!!! Afterwards, when we were walking back to our apartment, I was just so happy and felt so good about serving a mission. Earlier that day fo...

Hey hey there good lookin family!!!! This week was super awesome!!! Elder Barrios literally talk about every day how the mission teaches you soooo much!!!  This week a few pretty interesting things happened. Elder Barrios and I are really clicking together and starting to teach a lot more people! We were walking down the street one morning to go teach someone, this person was actually a false reference I got from another guy, but this person seemed to be interested and we were walking down to go visit him at the time we scheduled. The whole time, I remembered what Elder Barrios said about thinking about my purpose. I did that the whole way down and thought about why I was here, why I wanted to be here. We taught him and he was super chill. When I was teaching, literally, words just came to my mouth! It was super amazing! Afterwards, Elder Barrios told me that that was one of the best lessons we have taught together and one of teh best he has heard from me. I knew it wasnt me, I...
