Budgeting Problems


 
 
FAMILY!!!!
 
I am still alive!! First off Alejandra and Barinia wanted to eat saltanias with us today so they joined us for this pday.  I do not suggest ever doing this.  Plus they like to not have enough money so they always ask us for more.  Yea so no not doing this again.  However, they saw a picture of Sam and Isaac, they are over the moon obsessed.  Sam apparently you are very popular here.  They are really excited to meet you.  
 
Speaking of Saltanias, we ordered some during our weekly planning session and they were delivered right to our door.  Best thing we have ever done, my comp doesn´t want to do it again though since she said she couldn´t focus, oh the troubles of not being able to multitask.  Maybe I will do it again . .
 
I killed five spiders in our house the other day.  Everytime I do something gross or have to eat something gross I just tell myself, Kate Brown survived in the middle of nowhere, I can survive here.  There are probably bigger spider in Vanuatu, which they aren´t that big here, I can´t really complain.  
 
We knocked on this guys door, Edwin and he let us into his house.  It honestly looked like a European house.  It was so pretty.  I would change it just a tad and could live in it.  It didn´t have carpet though, no where has carpet.  That´s ok though because now we can see the spiders.  
 
So the Bishop isn´t a fan of us.  We had a baptism the other day, Jose, and the bishop was 50 minutes late.  Then he asked us why we didn´t start on time.  Well the person being baptized and the person doing it were 50 minutes late.  Then he asked why no one was there, well you announced it.  We don´t know.  Then he got mad because our mission leader had the clothes and we didn´t.  He tests my patience a little, however my goal was to have more patience so maybe he is the reason I am here!!
 
Hermana Routsong said I have horrible handwriting . . . 
 
Our first cambios were yesterday!! Yes I am still with Routsong.  Which is good, not ready to leave her yet.  We decorated our agendas and bought a rollos de queso the size of our desks to celebrate!! Well we bought it Saturday then picked it up hot yesterday! We had fun.  Her good friend is going to Potosi tomorrow so that´s sad.  They won´t see each other for a long time!! I still think I am going to be here in Cochabamba most of my mission.  Mainly because of what Presidente Eyring said.  
 
You don´t have to buy the living scriptures, I can get them at the temple for cheap.  I also bought a new towel, those microfiber ones are choppy.  We got a member to wash our garments today! We had to pay though.  Que choppy.  I would do it for free!! Well all is well in Las Cuadras.  Oh PS, can I get another study journal.  Somewhere down the line, still in my first one but I like them so in awhile I will need another.

PS I will cut up the card and yea just put money in my bank account. We went to the cancha again . . . I bought stuff . . . can´t do that again anytime soon.
