Family and Friendz,

So this week was wonderful in América. Nothing too exciting happened. We had interviews with President Walker and a training meeting with Sister Walker, where she talked to us about what we had talked to the missionaries about in the last zone leader conference, with emphasis added in about planning well. it was the most interesting set of interviews i have ever had. Ever week is like an interview with President Walker so we took up half the time that is normally taken for an interview. we had exchanges with our District leader and our Zone leaders. Next week we will be going to Valle Hermoso, it will be my first time going there, they call it the city of 3 lies.... cause its means beautiful valley they say that 1 its not a valley, 2 its not beautiful, and 3 its not a city... but it just a  joke really cause i have heard it is very beautiful. we had a baptism planned but the sister had to work a double shift so she couldn't make it to the interview, so it will be delayed for another week. we realized on Friday that the baptismal font was still full from last Sunday, and that the pump to drain it was out out service. there was no electrical connection. so we got smart, we had a bunch of mops and brooms, 4 buckets, 2 trash barrels and a very long hose. so after surveying the provided equipment Elder Avila who was with me asked me if i was an eagle scout and if they had taught me anything in the BSA. I said not in this circumstance, but i saw a trick once in a primary lesson in Nampa, so I grabbed the hose and spread it out on the front lawn which happens to be a small incline. Connecting the hose to the tap I proceeded to fill it full of water until it was flowing out the end, disconnecting it i stuck the end that had been connected to the tap into the font and ran to the other end and began sucking until i felt the hot water from the out door tap dissipate and the cooler water from the font take over.... it took 2 days but the syphon worked and the Baptismal font is now empty. ready for a good cleaning and the baptism this week. that was the biggest occurrence this week. it was exciting to try and overcome the problem, which we did rather nicely i would say.

it was a very short week. next week we will be planning transfers again. and i am not sure what exactly will be happening. i am sure that my companion is going to stay as AP but i could be sent off to train. but there are few news that will be arriving this transfer and we are like 23 missionaries in my ''generation'' as they call it, so i dont know if i will be training or stay with Elder Talaverment another transfer..... who knows... I dont even think that president Walker knows at this point.
