So I got white washed, but this area is amazing, it is a lot poorer than my last area and a little bit more heavy, but I love it even more than before. Let me tell that going from a really unscuccessfull area to an area where people actually want to hear you is fantastic. My companion is also the zone leader in our area, which means that we work hard! It is fantastic to just be able to get up in the morning and just know that something awesome is going to happen. 
I met my first Bruja this week, when she saw that we were mormon missionaries she roled her eyes and said that she was a Bruja (witch). A lot of people want to fight me, it is a little bit funny, becasue I am so tall, people have been saying that they want to fight me, it is awesome. 
My companion does speak pretty good english but we only talk in spanish, (unless he wants to practice). He uses this quote from saving private ryan ´´Parker get Down!´´ everytime he is explaining something intense, it is the best. The new ward is amazing, everyone has fantastic spirits in the gospel and want to know more. 
In our pension we can see very clearly the remnants of the last missionaries. It turns out that one of them didn´t want to work one day and locked the other one in a room. The other missionary ended up punching through the door trying to get out, so that is the reason we got a white wash.
David, elder Hernandez y yo finalmente escuchemos a su audio recording, gracias por total, elder Hernandez dijo ´su hermano hablo perfecto español, y es un capo´
Love you all so much,
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 ...
