Happy 4th of July!!!!!!

Dear people of America,
I just want to say that if you are not celebrating this holiday you ought to smack yourself in the foot because America is the best country in the planet!!! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! So today I woke up with a little fire burning in my chest knowing that you guys are celebrating the day of our independence. I dont think I ever realized how patriotic I really was until I experienced a 4th of July outside of the country. It was really weird. I went to play soccer this morning and I wore the hats that my mom sent me as you can see in the pictures that I just sent. :) Haha it was really really fun. I am so proud to be an American. So this week I showed my son around. It is really hard to train. I will be completely honest. You kinda just do everything because they are still learning all of the ropes and what not, but my son is catching on really quickly it helps that he is latino. The difference from the mtc to the mission field is huge though and he is having a little trouble adjusting. I am almost having to carry him it feels like haha but it is ok. I am more than willing to help him in any way that I can His name is elder Orihuela. He is from peru. I think that he thinks I am being hard on him, but I just dont think he really understands the importance of this thing that we are doing out here. I am being as patient as I possible can with him. I love the guy and he is really helping me with my spanish. I never noticed how bad the chileans talk until he became my comp hahaha. This week I will tell 2 of many things that happened. We were doing contacts, and this guy opens his window to talk to us(typical chilean). We say hey we are missionaries from the church of christ and he starts yelling saying ¨get away you false prophets. You are false prophets. You need to go and repent of your sins you evil false prophets.¨ I looked at him thinking to myself how sad that this guy has been so corrupted to think he needs to say this to us. I then say thank you sr, I hope you repent to, because god has told us all we need to do it. So I invite you to pray and ask forgiveness of your sins. We walked away as he kept screaming out his window not only to us, but to all of the other people that were outside of their houses. It was really sad to think that satan has deluded the truths of god so badly that a cristian would have to audacity to tell another cristian that he is evil and a false prophet and needs to repent or go to hell. The second thing that happened, during contacts as well. We called at a door and this kid came out and I was like hey how are you doing we are missionaries...... all that good stuff. I asked his name and told him mine and he looks at me and says I can see that.(attitude already starting) I say that we testify of god and the families then ask him if he believes in god. He looks me in the eyes and says I believe in myself. I was like oh cool you believe in hard work and doing things ourselves. I then came to know what he really meant when he said no, I am god. (yeah that is right, this psycho path said he was god.) I was like excuse me?! You are god. And he was like no, I am my god.(me) So you are a god? (him)No, I am not your god. (me)But you are god. (him)No, no soy tú dios(I am not your god.). I looked at him and was like no, you are not god. Good bye. What a freaking tard! I was like you have got to be kidding me hahahaha We got a good laugh out of the pure raw stupidity of it though. haha ;) I know it is not the best thing to think or say but on this subject I have no problem. So that was my week haha So I cant get any of the pictures right now for some reason. It just wont read my card.  But that is it for this week. :) Love you all mucho.
