Busy, busy, busy...and super missionary

Hola!

     This week was full of stress and getting to bed late. haha. Zone leaders almost never get to bed on time for the responsibilities. But i´ve had fun so far! Elder Cabrera and I get along great and we are having fun as we are working hard. It´s weird having to be in charge of a whole zone, but I got put in a smaller zone to get warmed up. haha. I´m loving it so far! Also, my birthday came and went in a blink. I was treated well by 2 families here. Someone asked me how old I was, and I said almost 20, and they found out that my birthday was Saturday. That family called the family that we were going to eat with on Saturday and told them. The family we ate with on that day bought pizza, made spagetti and bought a cake. It was so nice! Then the hermana that first found out that it was my birthday soon bought us delicious hamburgers when we were heading home. It was a great day! I also got to know the ward yesterday at church. The overall attendance was 137. A little bit bigger than Las Torres, and we are going to get it up higher. The bishop is awesome, and he has a kid who´s 17 preparing for a mission. Him and I automatically became great friends. He works with us a lot. His name is Domingo. Also, my kid, Elder Higbee, kinda screwed up. haha. Because I left Las Torres, he was going to be in charge of sending the numbers from our last week together. I told him where to go and how to do it online. I got a call from the assistant on Friday saying that Elder Higbee didn´t send anything. And when he was called, Elder Higbee replied,´´Elder Barton didn´t leave the numbers for me to send.´´ But really he had them all in his planner and all he had to do was add them up....so the assistant called me to tell me that we lose half a P-day. I tried to explain that I actually explained how to do it and everything, but he had to hang up and deal with something else. As of right now, I´m waiting for his reply to see if we can rest until 6 or if we have to go to work right after writing. But if we don´t end up getting to rest, I know that it was for something, and the Lord will bless us with a family to teach. As for next week´s P-day. For us it will be on Wednesday. Because every first Monday of the month, the zone leaders and sister training leaders go to President´s house to have a conference. My comp said that we normally get back at 5 pm. So what every zone leader does is just have P-day until the hour of the food on Wednesday. So be ready for that! As for my new area, I like it a lot. I love being in the city, there is just more pollution and more crazy people. haha. Well that´s it for me this week. I love you all!

Con amor,
Elder Barton
