MY WEEK

Let me start off by telling you some games my companion and I have made up to keep ourselves entertained as we scale Chilean hills.  Number 1:  Bus touch.  The object of this game is to touch the buses as they fly past you.  Points are awarded due to the velocity of the bus and duration of contact made with the bus.  Number 2:  Flower Dump.  The object of this game is to drop a flower on all the dog feces situated on the Street and/or sidewalk.  Points are awarded based on how close the flower lands, distance from where the flower is thrown.  This is our way of trying to beautify the community.  Number 3:  Missionary Mooch Madness.  The object of this game is to try to politely get free food from the members.  Points are not awarded in this game but we do get food. 

   

Jennifer and Valentina are still good with their baptismal dates for the 25th.  TOday is actually the 11th birtday of Valentina.  Also Robert came to church yesterday as well.  He is porgressing but progressing slowly.  

   

We had a really good conference wednesday.  We talked mainly about the Book of Mormon.  What I liked most was how he said the history of the book of mormon can be applied to our dispensation with our current day most closely relating to the book of Heleman. 

   

My companion is in the misión choir and hes been slelcted to sing a solo so we have the spend half our pday in viña so he can sing.  Not the most thing for me but at least it gives me time to write letters to some people who really deserves a letter. 

    

Yesterday for lunch I ate some blood sausage.  It was actually pretty good.  It gave me the necessary proteins to be able to destroy my companion tis morning on some one on one soccer for exercises.  He did not eat the blodod sausage therefore he was destroyed. 

   

Les Amo y espero que tengan una buena semana.  Yo se que Jesucristo y estoy muy agradecido por el hecho que en mi misión mi testimonio ha podido crecer cada dia.  Yo se que el Libro de Mormon es verdadero y cambia vidas.

Cuídense
