Well, on Monday I got hit on by a gay, possible drunk, guy. That was definitely the most interesting thing that has ever happened. Luckily I was in a building and he wasn't or it could have been worse. We were with other missionaries to get a hair cut, and I don't even know how it started. But someone told this dude my name so he started to say Gilreath! Gilreath! in a high pitched voice. Well I think it was his normal voice. He hit on other missionaries as well, but I was the first, so mine was the funniest. Probably the scariest thing is the fact that he actually was saying my name right.
Also on last Monday, we had a super chill P-day. We played soccer but also played a water game that was basically charades. Someone was acting out something in front and we took turns guessing. With a giant water balloon filling up over your head. If you didn't guess it fast enough, you got soaked. Probably the funniest one I saw was an elder did a turtle walking then got flipped over, and couldn't flip back over. The missionary guessing didn't get it and got soaked...and it was just funny. Later we watched the Work and the Glory and ate pizza. Super chill.
We also got a zone shirt. We did Manchester United. I have already sent some pics of the shirt. It's pretty sweet. It's not a perfect replica, but it also wasn't super expensive.
So Wednesday I got changed out of Occidental and got put into Usulatán. I moved just a little to the West. I'm slowly working my way back to the capital. But my area is Usulatan 1 and is around the city. We have a huge chapel that's really sweet. It was built like 2-3 years ago and looks really nice. It's the biggest chapel I have seen in my mission. Which is funny because it only has a branch that goes to it. Another cool thing is our area and another area go to the same ward. The other area has Elder Hardman, one of my comps in the MTC. We have already done divisions together once, so it's super chill. It's fun to see him.
Anyways, my comp is Elder Merino from El Salvador. He's from the departamento de La Libertad. He's a chill dude. He has like 15 months in the mission. Or something like that. More or less that. But he's a real nice guy, so this should be a good change.
Also, we had a baptism this last weekend in my new area. Gloria Susana Quintanilla Machada. She's 19 years old and apparently was only investigating for like 2-3 weeks. So she got baptized really fast. Obviously I didn't work with her a lot. I only went to her house one time, but that one time we firmed her up for baptism, so I guess that's something, right?
Anyways, that was my week. I'm sad I left my old area, but I like my new one. It should be fun. I still haven't escaped the heat, but I guess I'm used to it from San Miguel
Hope you all have a good week. Love you and miss you.
