I´m doing awesome, watch now that i´m used to running everything here in Lago Ranco i am going to get Transferred this upcoming cambio hahaha. And i have plenty of great stories from this week too, but first i want to share something funny. Today i was in L Union having a volleyball tournament with my zone, and all the teams where based on what country we are from, and since i am the only gringo i paired up with Elder Sosa (Elder who learned some english from lil wayne and Kayne West haha) because he was the only Elder from Argentina, So i just talked with an Argentine accent while we where playing so i could say i was from Argentina.
Little known fact imitating accents of different Latino countries is so much easier than imitating different english accent. I can not get Peru though, or Chile hahahaha but Spain Argentina, México, are super easy.
But back to what i was saying in between playing, i was writing a letter to one of my friends, and then after we finished i finished up my letter on the bus ride home. And it was so funny. I gave up my seat because the bus filled up, so we were standing up writing, and there was a man next to me, with beer in his hand a little drunk, and he started talking to me, and was asking me what i was going, so i told him that i was writing una amiga, and so he started asking questions like if she´s cute and stuff like that. But i don´t think he really liked any of my answers because i didn´t come out and say i was writing some girl that i´m madly in love with or anything like that.
So he turns to me, looks me in the eyes and Says 'Papito if you want to get this girl to love you, you need to be alot more bold Tell her you.....' And the man started telling me all these things i needed to tell ´´my woman´´ And so i keep writing my letter, and pretended that i was writing the things he was telling me to. And then i finish writing my letter, and he asks to see it, so i show it to him, and he was surprised when he discovered that it was all in English. He then was saying things like Oh maybe you shouldn´t say things like that because Gringos are different then we are. I then pointed out to him that i too am a gringo, but he didn{t believe me, and started saying things like you´re living here in Chile, and you speak Spanish. You´re not a gringo.
I´m not sure what it is with drunk people and not believing that im from Los Estados Unidos. The other week i was on a bus and a man who was also slightly drunk turns to me, and Says You´re country is very beautiful. I always love visiting Brazil. He then attempted to talk to me in Portugues. Thankfully i am a missionary and have nothing better in my freetime to do than learned different languages so i respond in a little Portuguese i know, and he said I did not understand a singly word you just said, but it sounded good hahahaha. P.S. just so you all know i don´t understand Portuguese, or can speak it, i just know a couple of Phrases. I know more Sign Language than Portuguese. (I told you about that right?) But I´m out of time I love you all.
Oh something i just remembered that is Super Important I need to Address to the new house.- For a couple of reasons actually, i have a letter i want to send home, but cant because i don´t know were yall live, and i need to give it to my Mission President in Case he needs to send something to you, But Love you all!
Algo Rapidito cuando estábamos jugando Volí hoy mi equipo, Equipo Argentina Les Mató a los otros Países. Somos Bakanes hahaha (Rather quickly when we were playing volleyball today my team, team Argentina killed them other countries. We are Bakanes) (Bakanes, after googling, seems to be a boy-band, so that makes no sense whatsoever to me, but, there ya go.-J)
