HEY!
     Its me, another good week. Pablo was baptized and he is very
happy. It was saturday at 6 and it was just us, pablo, his friend
Ariel, who introduced him to the church and was there for every
lesson, and two of the bishops councilers. Pablo loved it, and it was
very peaceful. He was in church the next day, all done up in the
shirt, pants and tie that we gave him, and he had a new haircut. Very
cool.
      Saturday morning we had a family home morning, with an inactive
family that hasnt been coming to church for years, but theyre cool and
i think they can come back. I made omelettes and french toast, and we
played pretty bird in my cup, which has been a huge success with every
family i have taught it to. We had to change the name to " Pajaro en
mi baso", and its a hit.
     Its very hot out, the sun is very hot, and very very bright so
the headaches arent a rare occurance. im trying to drink alot of
water. it is still technically winter. in the summer, the humidity
will set it, and it will be about 105 degrees. kind of like texas,
been there done that, bought the t-shirt.
         So yeah, not scared of nothin. Were 2 weeks from the
transfer and im starting to get that dread feeling. i really dont want
to leave, so im hoping ill get to stay, even if we are in the smallest
and worst apartment in the mission (and we are, by far). its good that
i started in the two worst, now everything will be nice. and im sure
Daniel had it just as bad if not worse, so im not complaining.
   my spanish is still coming, its tough when i feel like im
explaining something well but they dont really understand, but its
happening less and less. learning little things, but its totally like
the rough cut version. i can speak it, but i cant explain why i say
the things i do. i still dont really know what a past participle is,
or why we say "es lo que hai" instead of "esso es como es" but im glad
we do. Ill get it figured out.
      This week, we are going to be trying alot of things
differently. Tomorrow we have a big service project in our area i
guess. cleaning at some center for viajos, and 2 zones are going to be
there, so it should be alot of fun. its from 9 to 2, and lunch will be
included, so thats good too. Im starting to gain weight. my comp has
decided he doesnt really want to run, so once again im stuck. i do a
little workout in the apartment but its just not the same, hopefully i
can change his mind. I cant wait till im a training. i dont care what
my kid says, were hitting the calle every morning whether he likes it
or not. if i do train. not sure if it will happen but its a cool
though.
       Apart from that, just still waiting on my ipod, or my photos,
or some form of package. at the zone conferance i got one letter,
which was a wedding invitation from will, without a letter. thanks ya
cheapskate. nah but seriously, thats sick that hes got himself a wife,
and a good one too i hear. no longer a lonesome hound dog. now im
going to have 7 brides for 7 brothers quotes in my head all day.  but
also seriously, someone better write me a dang paper letter if they
expect to be in the will when im old and rich.
        So yeah, love all you guys, dont be expecting pictures. these
computers frustrate me too much. im taking alot though, christal wont
know what to do with them once shes gets my memory card, which i will
send as soon as i get my other card.
                                      Love, Elder Bridge
 p.s while Kass and the kids are still in town give them all a big hug for me
