I Let Elder Shaw Cut a Word in My Leg Hair

Hey everybody. This week was another fast one. So I am senior comp still. It has been two weeks of that, and I am quite tired. My companion is named Elder Alonso and he is from Paraguay. He is pretty cool, he just likes to listen to the song perfect by ed sheeran multiple times everyday. But he likes to work and he is a stud so it is all good. 
   We did start doing something new with this companion. He likes to put appointments with people for the siesta, which is when most people are asleep because it is hot as an oven in hell here during that time. But we do it. It bothers me sometimes because it doesnt always make sense to leave and try to find people during that time, but we have found some new people, so it is all cool for now. So yeah we are doing that a lot. We are trying to start to change the culture of the ward here now so that they can all be ok, because they are just a lot of less actives that rotate coming to church. We always have between 35 and 40 people coming to church. It is kind of frustrating, but we are going to see what we can do. We are trying to help a couple families to come back to church or to be strong in the church. One of the most frustrating things to do as a missionary is doing literally everything you know how to do, bringing spiritual power to the people, getting them to say yes to going to church or being baptized, and then after they just dont do anything. I have not really seen anyone change because of the gospel yet, and that is another thing that kind of bothers me. I believe that people can change because of the gospel, but these people just arent changing. It is a rather frustrating time haha. But it is ok. I know that everything happens in God's time and not ours, so I just need to be patient out here. But it is cool. We are just going to keep working. 
   As for investigators, for the moment we only have two that are going to need a lot of help. We have Elisa Barrionuevo and Daniel Basualdo. And we are working hard with the families and everything to try to get them to understand the gospel and do the things they need to do. It will be an interesting challenge. 
   Also this week I have been a little bit sick, so that has been another challenge. It is an interesting twist in the whole plan that I got going on here. I am really tired haha. 
   And to explain the title a little, I let Elder Shaw cut the word love in my leg hair, cause he was bored and I was bored, and we are stupid boys that do stupid things sometimes. Also I just dont care about all that much at this point haha. But yeah I dont have any pics so, sorry... 
   Pero bueno. Asi fue la semana. Se que ser misionero es algo dificil, pero es posible y si confiamos en nuestro padre celestial, podemos hacer todo. 
   Well I hope you all have a great week! Chau!
