Dear Familia,
So this week was good, the two kids from the familia Zapata Perez were baptised and everything went well in that aspect. We helped a kid in the branch baptise them. He's getting ready for the mission, so even though he was scared, he did it, and he did it good!! haha Anyway, the photos that I sent --one is of the family and the others are of us screwing around on p-day, enjoying ourselves with some of the neighbors and the pensión. That's the big note this week, that they got baptised and not only did they get baptised, I believe that they are happier!

haha Earlier in the past week, we had a change for a day, they call it a work visit. We had to help some of the leaders correct their negative criticism towards us. What happened to the love?! haha It's all good-we still keep the chin up!!! After all, he is Bolivian....and to answer your question mom; the Chileans and Bolivians are not really wanted here, especially the Bolivians*...haha but I'm still workin on my ever judging character.
I'm glad to hear that you guys got the letters that I sent to you all. I'm glad that you enjoyed them. I'm still waiting for the package that you sent, but I'm guessing that it will come the following week, so it's all good! Ohhh so about me and my companion, we're both a little bit orgullosos (prideful) haha. So I have some good stories about that. I see a lot of myself in him, and I'm sure that he sees alot of himself in me. Together we are powerful, very powerful!! But when there is a disagreement, it's over haha. For example, the other night I left the light on and told him to turn it off, and he told me that he is perfectly fine sleeping with the light on, and me being who I am, I'm not going to get up and turn off the light. So we slept with the light on the whole night haha. Dumb things, but it's interesting what happens when there are two strong opinions haah. At times it's good and at times it's bad! haha But y'all know I got this in control, not to mention we don't let it get out of hand, most of the time. We get along great and he is the kind of person that I could work with further along in life! Anyways, I thought I would just tell you guys about that and what not, considering that I don't tell you a lot of stories haha. Sorry, but I'm a busy, wanted man! ;)
much love and emotion!!!
Elder Alex Pinegar
*Jared said that the Peruvians are always complaining that the Chileans and Bolivians tried to steal their land--so there's not a lot of love going on.
