dear familyso this week was pretty good. we found a ton of people this week, even a family that we contacted in the street and went to church and asked if they could start assisting and get married in the church. so we said of course. haha, then another lady that we entered in the house, and we were just planning on staying for 10 minutes, but out of nowwhere she said, you know what, i want to invite you to dinner, so then she brought food out and we ate food from peru. and by the way in argentina, nothing, nothing is spicy. to them normal pepper that we have in the states is way spicy for them. so i have gone 2 years basically without eating spicy food. then when she served the food, it was rice with chicken and with a sauce that she said was really spicy. so i thought oh finally i will get spicy food, so i put the sauce all over my food then she started looking at my like i was crazy. she said its really really spicy. so then i said oh well, and i started eating, and i started sweating way way bad and then i felt like crying haha. so i guess before i start eating spicy food i got to get used to it again haha. i am not sure if the mission got a hold of you, but i was in a taxi coming home and my wallet fell out of my pants, and when i realized we were already out of the taxi, and he was long gone. so please cancel the card as soon as possible. i told the mission to advise you yesterday so hopefully they did it before anything happened. so that leaves me in a bad spot. haha, i have about 200 pesos to survive untill the end of the month. so there are a few options i was thinking, you could send me a card in a letter in first class or something, and when i get it i will tell you to reactivate it, or you could find a missionaries family that i live with who lives in provo and give them money to give to their son in his card and then he gives me the money. so i dont know if there are more options, but tell me next week what the plan is and i will be willing to do whatever. i am way sorry. i went the whole mission without losing my wallet and then i lost it in my last transfer. and dont worry i am working harder then ever. i dont even feel like i am going home in 5 weeks. tell mike that i would love to call preston when i get back, especially to invite him to the sunday when i talk. but thanks for everything family, i love everyone so very much chau!!!elder brown
