A beautiful painting

We had a week long battle with the heat here. I guess I can't complain too much because I know there are missionaries in places that are a lot hotter, but this week was pretty rough. Despite the heat, we were still able to have a really good week.

Yesterday I went with the missionaries from my group to do some stuff for our visa. But my process was a little different. I guess some of my papers had gotten lost and I had been here illegally for a few days. Good news is I got everything figured out and I'm legal again!

Our ward mission leader is a total stud. He finished his mission two years ago and is really focused and determined to help us. He's helping us out a bunch with the members and with coming to visits with us. We have a lot of good goals together.

We're teaching a haitian named Youri. He lives with a chilean family and is learning spanish. He has a book in french and is constantly reading it. He has been to church a lot and really likes it. The only thing is that it's a little complicated trying to teach him because he doesn't understand very well. The last time we taught him we were using google translate and it actually ended up working pretty well.

Fabiola didn't want to go to church with us because she said that her little kid behaves too bad and she feels embarrassed. We were trying everything telling her not too worry that he's just a little kid and that everyone is used to little kids running around. She finally said yes, but when we went to pick her up for church she told us again that it wasn't worth it. 

Other than that things are pretty normal here. The other day I was reading what I had written in my journal. Almost everyday honestly not very many groundbreaking things seem out of the ordinary, but over time all of the small moments work together and build on each other and make such a beautiful painting.
