Well hi!
So uhhhh I don't even know where to start with all the
information I got! First, I looked at the photo's of the wreck, looked intense.
But dad thought Britt may have sent pics of her new car, she didn't haha but no
big. Nice story about ex pres. Rodgers being the only one who knows where Punta
Arenas is (btw we found a place here that is names Sandy Point... Which is
Punta Arenas in English. Ha) But to answer the common question I am in the most
southern ward in the world BUT it is split in half and I'm in the northern half
of the ward. there are other branches farther south in the world BUT they don't
have missionaries. SO I am one of the 4 most southern missionaries in the
world. and I haven't seen any penguins... In the street. BUT we went to a
Pinguinera today and saw some :P So I'm gonna put some pictures in another
email to Britt so she can put them on the blog!.
Ummm okay so i'm glad everybody is doing good, I hope work
and stuff is all good for everybody and I hope the house shindig is going well
for Britt and Matt kus that's pretty intense stuff especially with a car crash
at the same time :\ (you won't believe how long it took to look for the
"\" on this keyboard...) moving on! So okay. Happy Birthday tomorrow
mom!!!! I'll try to find some winter stuff for you. even though now it's the
beginning of summer.. :P in fact I started sweating today it was weird!
OH hey! So this last week we saw a cultural presentation for
the celebration of the 50 years of the mission Chile and it was awesome and a
little nostalgic (how do you spell that?) for me because they danced a bunch of
dances that we danced in elementary school HAHA! I was like "HEY I have
home video's of me dancing to that exact same thing!!!" It was pretty
funny. My companion said "I should have told my family about this!"
but then thought about it and said "Oh... they wouldn't have understood
it." haha so yeah it was cool. they were cool dances. and yes they did
better than we did (Obviously)
In the package uhhhh oh the pictures you can print are the
boys, girls, fam 1 and 2, and I thought we had one with all of us including
grandpa and sarah didn't we? I forget. and yeah I have a lot more pictures that
I could put in the drop box... But if you figure out how to download them to a
home comp and I can just replace them that would work out cool because then I
could also delete the ones on this memory card and have more room to take
pictures. and I guess a memory card in the package would be a good idea. I
don't know what I want for christmas especially since I don't know if I will
still be here in Punta Arenas at that point and will have to figure out what to
shove in my suitcases when I leave on the plane and will have a weight limit.
So I dunno. Just a pair of drumsticks like I asked last week and Possibly the
drum pad especially since ethan isn't doing marching band. and some snacks :)
because american food is different (obviously) than food here.
ummm um um um I don't know what else.. Well about this week
uhhhh It was pretty good we found some cool people, one who we taught, as the
first lesson, the word of wisdom because he asked us to pray for his health
when we started and then we taught him a couple more times super short lessons
and challenged him for baptism and he was like "well if God answers my
prayers yeah!" so it was cool. We also found somebody who doesn't believe
in God but is going to continue listening to us. In fact we're going to teach
him again today. so it'll be interesting teaching him.
We Probably will be baptizing Sebastian on the 29th and
Hopefully Diego. He knows everything he needs to and has a testimony his only
thing is that he wants to know more about what we believe so that he doesn't
break a commandment without knowing it, but we want him to be sure on a date
and if it's the 29th that's awesome because after that my companion will
probably be in another sector. Plus on the 29th we're planning on doing all of
the baptisms in Punta Arenas on that day in one chapel. We're pretty sure we
have 10 people who are sure about doing it on that date so we're super stoked
for that day.
Ummm I think that's kinda all.... I'll send those pictures
to Britt. But i put one here :)
Love you all! Talk at'cha next week!
