9/9/13 - 2nd Week of Not Knowing Where the Heck I Am

9/9/13
meow,

yo whats up! well another week in the books! 

im an expert out here with my spanish! haha not!! o man i never know what the heck is going on..... NEVER

well to be honest the days are always up and down. i absolutely love it out here because every day is a new experience... its hands down the hardest thing i have ever done... thats for sure. but i try to always stay happy and be myself. 

ill try and share some stories....

so yesterday im having a pretty good day right? i tried to have a permanent smile on my face and joke around with members with my spanish.... and im havin a good day... high spirits and im doing just great! so we´re walking along the streets at about 6pm and all the sudden this dog from hell attacks me and bites my leg!! haha satan sent his demon little dog after me to mess my day up!! haha dont you worry because satan didnt bring my spirits down... his devil little dog ripped a hole in my pants and left two nice dagger marks in my leg though... 

it was a MASSIVE DOG... a big ol pitbull.... nah just kiddin it was like a 7 pound dog from hell.... but the good news is that it was a street dog and probably has rabies :) and i dont know if i should say hell but thats where the dog was from... mean little sucker

soooooooo we clean it out and then go to this little junky hospital and i have noooo earthly clue where we are going or what im supposed to do because i cant really communicate with anybody... haha so this little demon dog has caused a lot of confusion for me in the past 24 hours... because we have gone to 3 hospitals now and ive gotten 3 different shots for rabies and i have to get like 4 more shots throughout the week...

haha so yeah 11 days in argentina and ive been bit! 
 
satan is a mean little man trying to do all he can to get me down... nope not gonna happen satan.. because im doing good and im happy!! 

ummm it rained a ton the other day!! ha my pants were absoultely soaked!!! it was awesome! haha im being serious in saying it was awesome... im not being sarcastic momma.. 

another funny story...

so we are eating at this members house and he grabs my plate and drops this weird looking food on my plate.... hahahah im my mind im like ¨AWESOME.... NOT... haha how am i going to gag this food down¨ haha it wasnt what you would consider to be weird but i think every food is weird.... i bet you all would love it.... so it didnt taste bad.. it actually tasted good but i still struggled to eat it... then right when i finish the member grabs my plate.... ¨im thinking woah man what are you gonna put back on my plate´´  and he puts twice the amount back on my plate!!! hahahaha AWESOME! ha so i ate it again :) and i didnt die so i guess things are good! every meal is a new experience for me... haha but the food really is good... and no im not being sarcastic. 

ill share something i wrote this week...

so im focusing on devolping the characters of christlike and being a more christlike person. every 6 weeks ill choose a new attribute of christ...

the first 6 weeks is hope... haha you can probably guess why i choose hope because i dont know what the heck is being said so i should probably hope in the future ill know the language :)

 ´´hope gives meaning and purpose to all that we do. when there is any reason to doubt and have anguish know that you always have hope. hope that you will get through those times of doubt and anguish. hope that you wont have to go through those hard times on your own. hope that the savior will always be by your side. hope can give us peace even though we may know we are going through times of trial. hope of a better day! 

have hope that this will happen... the savior promises us this.

´´peace i leave with you, my peace i give unto you: not as the world giveth, give i unto you. let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid´´ john 14 27

let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. have that hope. what a wonderful this it is to know that we dont need to be troubled nor do we need to be afraid of anything because of what the savior can do for us. peace he will give unto you... but do you have the hope of that sentence being true...

well thats me trying to think deep... haha 

ill try and answer some of your questions momma...

1. Hows the spanish?
      haha well i never know what the heck is going on... i can tell its getting better and i cant doubt that i have progressed in so many ways... but ill be honest in saying its really difficult because my comp cant speak any english....

     haha ive become my own best friend out here!! haha i feel like ive gone looney and im always talking to myself. ha trying to make myself laugh or havng a conversation with my own brain!!  i dont have anybody to really express true emotion to whether that is positive emotions of the spirit or if im struggling with something. its hard because i never know whats going on in lessons and after the lesson i cant get feedback on what happened... so its hard

    having said that i know its a blessing that i have a comp that cant speak any english... i know that my spanish will be that much better.

well on a side note this lady just lit a cigarette right next to me and is blowing her smoke pretty much in my face :) hahaha so thats awesome! i love me some tobaccy.... i just asked her if i could take a puff but she couldnt understand my spanish so she couldnt answer my question.... i guess no cigs for me today!! haha just kiddin missionaries cant say that stuff.... my bad

2. how is my comp
    my comp is way awesome! we try and joke around as much as we can even though we cant really talk to each other in detail! haha we work really hard though

3. quiet week talking to myself?
     haha yeah its pretty quiet because im always trying to answer my own questions... i never know what we are doing or if i do its not in detail... haha so thats an adventure of its own. but its all good! haha ive really had to have patience so its good for me.... i really do love it.. its kind of a love hate though! 

4. is the food good?
   yes the foood is delicious!! love it! a lot of meat which of course i like... yummy yummy in my tummy.... gobble that meat up

well thats all ive got for this week!!! dont be worrying about me at all because im loving it!! its hard but its awesome! 

i truly can see the savior helping me and ive seen lives changed already through this gospel. 

i hope all is well back in the 801....

ooo yeah i heard some kid cudi on the bus today.... it was soooo awesome!! haha thats rap music momma.... GANGSTA MUSICA FOR THE ARGENTINES... but its american music.

see ya in a bit
-Elder Cole Myers 

when in doubt..... kick any dog that is barking at you... thats at least what i learned :)
