WEll i guess its public now that Daniel and Christal are gonna have a baby! i knew first! they told me over skype at christmas, and ive been so excited ever since, but its been hard to keep in. Way cool right?
Things in argentina are good. My back and legs are incredibly sore. ill tell you why. The houses here are made out of cheap bricks and cement. When they finish doing the walls, the roof needs doing. so they cover the top with bricks and rebar, and plug any wholes with paper, and then we do whats called "the losa". its really hard.
basically, its two guys shoveling sand and rocks into buckets. 2 more guys making cement with the little mixer, and then a chain of guys getting the buckets of cement up to the roof and pouring it up there. there were twelve of us and it took 5 hours, in the blazing sun. It was really fun though because its always great to see the priesthood in action. a few of the guys were construction workers and it was nothing to them, bolivians are like from another planet when it comes to hard work. then the rest were just dudes that didnt know what they were doing and gave it their all. awsome to see. i was a rock shoveler for a while and then i was up top pouring the cement. very hard, my back just kills. so do my legs. think i might have already said that. anyway, we ate a giant asado afterwards so it was a good experience in all.
So i hope everyone is good, mail has been a little weak lately. lets get on that.
Love, Elder Bridge
