WELL ONE TRANSFER DOWN AND THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER!
We finally have a new investigator, he can´t read but hey hey wants to know more about the church and I can´t wait to start teaching him he is in the monoblocks (complexes) and he is very very nice to us. He loves his family a lot and it is really nice to hear about it. He also asks the best questions that are easy (in my really american spanish) to answer clearly. He is really really awesome.
Fetch! So I went to the hospital again this past week, it was nothing, I just bleed when I exercise (for now), but it is nothing. The trip took forever to get to the hospital, we took the wrong bus, then our train broke down at the wrong stop and then we had to take another bus that went the wrong way for half of the time. But we got there, and then we waited for another half an hour to get looked at for 5 minutes, but long story short a female doctor had to look at my glutes, my zone leader couldn´t help himself from laughing!
We did alos give a book of mormon to this guy on the street that was begging for money, we sat down next to him and talked for a little while. He has lost both his legs, and has a daughter that he is trying to provide for, it was really sad. But while we were talking with him people finally started paying attention to this man, and he started to recive more money and help, it was really cool to see how people act when they see others act (if that makes sense).
New Years I went to bed early, we could stay up to 12:30 but I went to bed at 11:40, only to wake up 20 minutes later to World War 3 being acted out, but only with fireworks. 
Things have offically settled down and life is pretty chill (by mission standards) it took us a while but things will be back to normal. Next week I should be back to the same time of 9:00.
The ward got a baptism this week, not with us but other elders, it was great to see new people enter the waters of baptism and enter into the folds of the church.
Love you all,
Elder Belnap

February 5, 2018 Man a week! This week was slow for work but we had a bunch of stuff to do. we had entrovistas  on tuesday , and man I love my mission presidente Calquin. Also we found a perfect family to teach, it was amazing. It started off as trying to find another contact, but then turned into a little message about the Book of Mormon. We came back another day and taught the whole family. The Dad needs to find faith, but man he is so close to finding it. Speaking of which if you guys have a good scripture on faith I would love to hear it. The Mom has amazing faith, when we aasked them to pray about our message she said ´´no, becasue I already know that it is true.´´ I LOVED HEARING THAT. we have beening working more with Gustavo and dudas que el tiene, es no dificil pero es un poco triste, but he is gaining more faith everyday. In funny stories I had a sonagram on my butt (really lower back) at the hospital the other day, it was really funny.  Also we have...

May 8, 2018 This week we have been working hard to try and fill the area before one of us leaves next week. Gustavo is super close to being baptized this week, we have been working super hard to try and get everything in order to help him get to this point but it is all in his hands now. Transfers will be ending in this week and I really don´t really want to leave this area. The dogs that we have in the pension have been fighting recently and it has been super wierd. My spanish is actually pretty good now, my companion said that I talk in spanish when I sleep now.  Mission life has actually been pretty good here, I have learned a lot about faith and most of all perservierance. In this mission it takes 560 contacts, for 80 investigators for 24 of them to go to church, for 5 of them to become members. For us it has been a great motivator for us to give it all we got in  the mission.  I realy love this mission and quite honestly I don´t really want to change areas or ...
