Hey Macarana!

So this is my last email from Argentina, except I think I get a short one on monday for mom, letting her know flight stuffs or something. So my next whole email won't be for a whole week and a half til next Monday.

 

I just got another 2 letters from Lauren. I quite enjoyed those pictures, especially the sentimental hug with me and Alex, and Kevin poking his face around goofing off. It's great.

 

Alex! Homecoming looked super fun! How come you didn't tell me about it? Yeah, that's right, I am publically calling you out.

 

Michael, thank you for hitting that pole.

 

Thanks for keeping my updated on the wardies! I am happy for Inoke and Casey, getting close! Dad, I have no idea how to get everyone to mutual. Say Elder Holland is gonna be there and get a cardboard cutout of him. Yes. Please.

 

I have only heard from Noah that he left for Denmark! Thanks for that little tidbit.

 

Danielle!! Congrats! That's super great!

 

Weather here is getting warmer, pretty much sweater in the morning and short sleeve afternoons!

 

Now for the stuff I wrote down to write to you all.

 

Whatever ball. It's volleyball but basically there are no outs and it can hit the ground and there are no rules. So naturally I don't use my hands, ever. I had a sweet bicycle today, Alex, you would be proud. It was crazy sauce!

 

So for our Servicio this week we went to the Hostil (a place where people visiting the temple from far away stay, like a church hotel sorta). All the people there look up to us like we are superheroes! I don't they have seen so many tall white people in their lives. Little kids wave and stuff. It's super cute.

 

OH! I got my hair cut this week! First time not by my momma! It wasn't as quality as moms cuts, but that guy finished in like 2 minutes. I had to check to make sure I wasn't completely bald. It didn't look bad after I did it the next day.

 

We don't proselyte this week because of GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! I am so stoked for it. I honestly cannot wait.

 

Last week for proselitismo we were in a new area, and no one really wanted to talk to us at all. So we wrote little things and the address of the church in all the pamphlets and our 2 Libros de Mormon, and put them in peoples mailboxes. We would go up to a house and I would say, what do these people need in their life? If I saw a beer bottle outside I gave them the Word of Wisdom. Haha! So we gave everything in mailboxes, except I didn´t want to give my LDM to a mailbox, so I kept it. Time was running out and we couldn't find anyone to give it to, so we just walked back to our bus stop, but I decided not to put it in a mailbox, just in case. We got to the bus stop and there was a teenage girl sitting there doing homework, smoking a cigarette, and had nose piercings and stuff. I was like, hey Degn, I got a book to give away! So we went up to her and I basically said. Hi señorita! What's your name? Macarana. (Macarana, no joke) She told us she was super busy and didn't want to talk to us, so I was like, that's ok, have you ever read this book? no. Well it's a good book. Well will you read it? We want you to have this! She grabs it and is like, ...ok... and I was like, will you read it? And she said, Sí! So yeah that was cool.

 

So yeah I tried the Baday, however spell it. It was fantastic. You can control the temperature and everything! (This is to be included in my blog thingy, do not delete, thank you)

 

So we are studying something in Spanish right now called Subjunctive. It is the Devils playground. Its super hard to know when to use it.

 

I BLAME THE TOWER!

(as in the tower of babel)

 

It's awfully funny in the mornings to hear like 10 different alarms going off at the same time. Just thought I would throw that in there.

 

So down here EVERYONE knows the Simpsons. They watch it in school in lessons and stuff. I think it'll be a good tool to get inside some houses. Simpson! Is your dad Homero? yes he is. Why you no yellow? Yep. It's great.

 

Well I will just end with a few thoughts, I enjoy thoughts.

 

You close your eyes to pray, and when you open them again the world seems a little brighter:)

 

1 John 4:18

Perfect love casteth out all fear.

That is soo true.

 

Thanks for all of your support!! You are all great! Love you all! I love the pictures! Talk to you in Paraguay!

 

Remember that you are all Children of a King!
