So this is another week gone by! crazy stuff time keeps
flying. Thanks for the emails, sounds like some good stuff going on with everybody,
Sounds like there are very few reasons to go to california anymore haha geez!
But life moves on eh? I'm glad Kinleigh has so much fun with herself in mirrors
and stuff that sounds like a riot. There's a little baby girl in this ward and
she reminds me of Kinleigh sometimes, mostly because I met her when she had
about 2 months and I left when Kinleigh was about the same age. so yeah I know
this little girl more than Kinleigh, that's kinda sad. Oh well as long as she
recognizes me when I come home all will be well.
All is well here in Punta Arenas. Working hard all the time
and trying to find some good people to teach and learning to teach them better.
I've finished Alma in the Book of Mormon in Spanish and in the English one I'm
in Alma 26 about. I read a lot faster in English than Spanish but I'll probably
finish both of them before Christmas. I also started reading the Bible and
Jesus the Christ, of which I have like 50 pages remaining. That book is awesome
and gives "palos" (which means sticks but the phrase "to give
sticks" in spanish means.... something.... I don't know but it makes sense
okay... But no I didn't make it up) anyways it gives a bunch of facts that
people don't know that I can use in conversation to prove stuff against
Jehovah's witnesses, catholics, and other people if I want. It's basically
awesome.
My mission president wrote me an email last week and said
I've progressed a lot. What do you guys think? Because I dunno. Food for
thought.
Ummmmm oh yeah I actually am going to see President this
week. That's cool I forgot about that for a second. Spanish is still doing
good. For language study we're supposed to learn more about grammar and stuff
or memorize scriptures so we can speak better... I just read the dictionary...
Baha. Later in life I've decided I'm going to get Book of Mormons in different
languages to read them because Basically if you read all the way through a Book
of Mormon in a different language I've heard that you will be able to speak
that language. So that's what I'm going to do. Later. Because right now I can
only get more in spanish and maybe english but we tried to do that once and I
think we still haven't recieved it... Pfft
So yeah. I'm good. Happy. Healthy. Working hard, losing
weight. Actually I think I lost a bunch and now am stuck at about 165 ish? the
scale is in Kilos so I'm at 82 kilos if the scale is correct. I don't know if
people have tried to add me on facebook Britt but if you told me they have and
said some names I could tell you whether or not I know them and if you should
add them or not. Just thought about it because a good friend I met here went
home a week and a half ago so he may have added me. Anyways.
We have found a few good people to teach, a family of 4
(except their dad works on boats or something so he's gone for 15 days and home
for 4 which sucks) but the mom and 2 sons are way good and Her and the older
son accepted a baptism like right off the bat basically, she did but we had to
explain to him about being baptized as a baby versus how Jesus did it, after
which he was like "yeah I'll do it, if my dad is okay with it." and
we're going to talk to them all today including their dad so I'm hoping he's as
cool as the rest of his family. we'll see. All of the good stuff happens right
after I write you guys and then I forget them haha. But I'm keeping my journal
so I've got the good stuff written down.
How was Green Lantern? I know dad didn't like it but what
about the rest of the family? Did anybody go see capitan america? I'm not
really worried about it or anything because I know when I get home I can watch
them with their sequels so no big haha but it's fun to be in the loop. I feel
secluded from everything else in the world so ya know. Oh yeah, A few video
games came out recently too, those you aren't allowed to tell me about (Ethan
and Devin and Matt. Because they're probably the only ones who care :P) so
don't mention the new assassin's creed or halo or Gears of War or anything!
Geez.
Sooo I think that's it. There are some letters in the mail
home to some friends. We've had like 3 holidays on mondays so the mail place
has been closed but I got stuff sent still.
I hope all is well with those who I don't know about. I'm
gonna go play soccer with my zone now.
Talk to you all next week!
Love - Elder Bassett
