So someone told me they found an Aliens skull in Machu Piccu the other
day. Id sure love to be kept in the loop about that.
In other news, were still just workin real hard. This week will
start December, and ill start letting my companion play christmas
music, and we might get a little fake tree. Im gonna try to learn some
hymns on my harmonica so that we can make caroling a little easier.
Our Christmas party thing is gonna be like next wednesday, the 13th or
something, and were getting together with 2 other zones and presidant
and stuff. I hear that last year he played football with the Elders so
that should be cool. Were hoping to have some good baptisms this
month, and that i get to stay here for christmas, its pretty up in the
air but im hopeful. WE havent gotten letters or anything in forever
but we should be getting them this week or next, so im hoping to have
some nice things waiting for me. yes mom, i wont open the christmas
ones till christmas. also hoping for letters from alot of people hint
hint. like everyone reading this.
Well, gotta go play some football. love you all!
elder Bridge
p.s Someone tell Ellen that
i bought a pink or orange sobe like every day at the mtc bookstore,
they got me through the tough times. and also that i love her and im
praying for her.

The world better hold its breath. November 21, 2011
I just realized that Joel and Bonny, and Jay-Z and Beyonce are having
their baby in the same year!!!
Thats got to be some kind of record for awsome babies in one
year, and thats all i have to say about that.
So this week was really good. We had some dang hot weather to
start the week, and then passed the weekend with many thunderings and
lightnings, and with many wet socks, and we did preach mightily.
Were looking forward to a big week, we keep getting a little better
as a team as the days go by, and were working with some really cool
people, i feel really lucky to be in this area at this time, and im
really hoping presidant will keep me here for one more, so i dont have
to leave right before Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I wrote a huge
letter to every member of each family and put them in a big envelope
to send, and on my way to the post office, this crazy guy jumped out
from behind a bush, yanked the envelope out of my hand, and tried to
light it on fire! so i grab this type by his collar, and i start
shaking him around, but it turns our he has studied white crane
shoalin, so we began to battle, right their in the plaze lavalle, and
all these people started like cheering and stuff, and he throws this
MAD stabbing beak attack, but i saw it coming, and i was ready with a
rising sun double knee strike, which pinned him against the trunk of a
mighty oak. as i went in for the finishing blow, i stopped, and
realized that a missionary must forgive, so i dropped into a sitting
position, and poured some mate, inviting him to have a seat. He took
his place across the cloth that i had neatly laid out, and we began to
converse, amiably.
Turns out that some punk kids had pulled a prank on him, telling
him that my envelope was full of poisonous serpents, and he was only
trying to save my life. This led us to share in great laughter, an in
the end we realized that we werent so different after all. problem is,
in all the commotion, my envelope blew away in the fridged southern
winds, never to be seen again. so dont expect anything grand for
christmas. cant say i didnt try though right?
Life is great, were working hard, i love you well. Where ever
youre at, represent.
Love, Elder Bridge

Hey yall! November 14, 2011
Gonna be ticked again, dont have alot of time, but i have a couple
funny things to say.
First being that a couple nights ago my comp was in the
bathroom, and he shrieked and ran out yelling "theres something in
there, its a scorpion its a scorpion!"
So i grab the plunger and a stick and head in looking for the
dang thing, but i cant find it anywhere. so the bishop knocks the door
and asks whats going on and we tell him so he goes and gets a spray
can and starts spraying it all over the place, and we go back into the
room and talk about how it could have gotten in, and how hes going to
help us plug up the holes and stuff, and i walk into the bathroom and
its up on the wall! like 8 feet up, and it fell to the ground and i
grabbed the plunger and i plunged him good, then the bishop hosed him
down with like a pound of spray. then i took a picture and we threw
him away haha. it was like as big as 2 thirds of my pointer finger,
and yellow. so that was pretty funny. i was all in battle mode
searching everywhere for this thing cause my comp cant sleep if he
thinks theres something dangerous in the pench.
bringing me to last night, were laying in our bunk bed, lights
are off, and hes like ah! theres something on my hand! and jumps out
of bed and turns on the light, and theres this HUGE spider just
sitting on his bed hahahahahaha it was so funny. so he kills it and
gets back into bed and keeps asking me if he can have the top bunk and
asking me if i think their are any more hahaha. it was so funny i wish
it was being filmed. were still alive though, but summer is just
getting started, so those two visitors are the first of many im sure.
My comp is a super cool guy and we get along great and we want the
same things in the work, so keep us in your prayers and we´ll have a
great week!

Letter for the family. November 7, 2011
Well first things first. Im sure everyone has been wondering how my
freestyle rapping skills are improving. the answer is, noticeably.
Other than that, things are normally great. My new comp is a
super cool kid, hes got 9 months in the mission and is really excited
about the work. We get along great, and hes super willing for any new
idea, were gonna work our heads of. Ive never had to like be the
responsible one, and thats tough because now its like if something
goes wrong its pretty much because im not doing good enough, so like
this week im really just trying to learn organization. if anyone has
tips, id love them. I find that its really easy for me to have lots of
ideas, but let some of the little things slip through the cracks. im
sure anyone who knows me is totally suprised by that fact.
Im optimistic though. we´re doing great.
So as far as stories go, nothing really comes to mind. friday
night we had a ward activity and we brought an investigator. it went
really well. we played soccer with a bunch of the old guys, who are
crazy good for old guys. and many of them are on the gordito side. But
it was really fun and our investigator had a blizast. The people here
sometimes really do cool things. so yeah, its all good down here. im
ready to start writing in spanish, if there are any RM cousins that
are itchin to have a go at it, hit me.
Not much else. Im lovin life down here. You wouldnt believe how
hot it is. my shirt is always soaked and my head is always soaked and
my eyes sting from the dripping sweat, and its hard to sleep and our
apartment doesnt have a fan, and they say that the real summer hasnt
even started yet. well there you go, im gonna melt. Bring it.
Love yall!
Elder Bridge
p.s. On the slim chance that there is someone out there that is
like "hmm, what are we sending elder bridge for christmas?" my
official answer is nah, dont worry about it, i dont want anything.
that said, mom, the cool kids down here have official soccer jerseys,
and my favorite team is the New York RedBulls. or the Celtics, not the
basketball team. its a soccer team in scottland. just sayin haha.
Enserio, si ay alguien que quiere practicar su castillano,
hagalo no mas. estoy aqui y tengo que practicar en cualquier
opertunidad. Te Kiero Mucho!
