That was weird seeing a Utah license plate.

The new way I entertain myself is seeing how many lil things I can get in my comp's hair without her noticing. 

Yo yo yo. So there is this big river we have to cross to climb this mountain to an area that has some really great people progressing. So we go there about once a week even though it's quite the trek to get there.

And we have this lil dog that follows us everywhere. She's a Chihuahua. When I started here in this area, she started following us, but then would leave us for several days and then find us again. But now she's always with us. We don't even touch her or give her food, but she just sleeps in front of our house and walks with us to every lesson. Her name is Baby. So anyways it's always hilarious because she always crosses the river with us. She's quite the lil swimmer, her head just peaking up above the water until she makes it to the other side.  But this last week the river was huge cause of all the rain that's been comin down. So we get to the river and there are these like 20 year old men carrying people across the river for 50 pesos. They even told us they would do it for free, but of course me and my comp were like heck no, and we crossed the river on our own. Baby, as always, is following us. So she starts crossing the river. Usually the current takes her a little ways but she makes it out. But this time the river was just so strong she kept going under the water and the current was taking her pretty far. Everyone knows Baby by name, so everyone was yelling !Baby Baby!. Finally one of the guys carrying people across ran and threw Baby onto dry land and Baby ran ahead of us, probably humiliated haha. I was joking with the people watching that Baby got baptized and then the guy who threw her across asked if we baptize dogs. haha Woops. But yeah, probably one of the funnier things thats happened lately. 

 Also one of the miracles of training is that we get to go to the temple! ahhhhh I love the temple! It was so needed!
