Hello
This week was a pretty fun one. Tuesday I
had an intercambio with Elder Cherry. Hes a short Little redneck from
northern Florida. All he talks about is hunting and fishing and
guns. He also has a republican party calendar is his apartment. He
speaks Spanish with an Argentinian accent and he speaks English with a strong
southern accent. True Redneck. We had a good day and we were able
to teach Jennifer. Shes doing really good and scolded us because we
weren't wearing sunscreen and that our body was a temple and we needed to better
care of it. Shes fully invested.
Also Valentina stays every other weekend with
her dad but Jennifer made it so he has to drop her off early Sunday mornings in
order to go to church so now Valentina can attend weekly now. Shes also
going to receive a calling next Sunday.
Wednesday we helped some man named Ruben
move cement. We were walking around and we saw a couple trying to move a
mountain of wet cement that a truck had given to them for free. We
offered to help. They refused. We persisted. We won. We
started carrying the wet cement into the back yard. We ran around
carrying huge wheelbarrow fulls of cement for almost an hour. They let us
borrow some hats. Ill attach a picture. They're pretty crazy and the lady
has a beard.
Thursday we spent the evening with bishop
Castillo and his family. We watched some videos of Christ then played
Jenga. It was really fun. They are a nice family.
Christmas day the best part was the Skype
call. It was fun seeing you guys. Masons still a punk. But
you did a very good job with the call in comparison with Elder Ruperts
family. At first they didn't answer and then he skyped his younger sister
and she answered and it turns out they were all napping. Hes the second
to youngest child in a family of 6 children. He claims to be the
forgotten one. He goes home in two weeks so I think his family didn't make
that big of a deal out of the call.
This week we might spend new years eve with the
Gibson family. Valparaios has one of the best firework shows in the
world. They launch Fireworks all up and down the coast of Valpo.
Were trying to get permisión to do a sleep over at Elder and Sister Gibsons
house cause they have a great view.
I love you and I hope you have a good
week. Also I read this talk here. It is really good. I invite
you to read it. Here's the link : https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/covey-stephen-r_educated-conscience/
Have a good week and a happy new year! Love you guys!
Love
Elder Gardner
