okay well geez, i can only send like five pictures at a time i guess. this is a problem because i have like so many. so i guess 5 a week will have to be fine, and then when i send christal the card there will still be alot more, since i take at least 5 a week.
These ones are old. the first one is my first night, right when i walked into my apartment. the second is elder lagos and crespo, who were the zone leaders. now lagos is home and its elder crespo and nitta, and we all live together, but yeah, thats them. theyre chilanos. then i think i attached a picture of our old nasty pan, and the new pan i bought, the next of me using it. there are so many pictures i wish i could send. i guess with time you will get to see them.
So fam, sounds like youre all having a great time, and thats what i like to hear. daniel asked me to go over a typical day, so thats what i will do for this weeks letter. Today, i woke up, read some talks from the conferance ensign i have, which is one of my most valuable things. i love it, and its all marked up cause i keep finding stuff i love. this was an awsome conferance eh? its wierd to think were closer to the next one. then i read scriptures, right now im reading the acts, and jesus the christ, and i love both, even though alot of the time i read stuff that i dont quite under stand, i just take it as a grain of salt and say ill ask daniel about it, and then dont have the ganas to when im actually writing because its really not that important. then i have a shower, followed by a freezing shower, which i do every day because i love it. then i cook breakfast, this morning was a fried egg sandwich with two eggs, and tons of cheese and tobasco sauce. cheese here is so expensive but i need it. i think i should recieve a weekly cheese allowance for how much i use it. then i talked to elder moeller about what we both read, and relax a bit, before heading to the computer place, where i am now. after this, were going to this place like a block away from our apartment for lunch. its owned by a guy that doesnt want to hear our message at all but he still loves missionaries and always waves and tells us that if we have any problems "on the streets" to come to him. its easier to find people like that than people who want to listen and help themselves, but hes still pretty cool. his place is like a kiosko but you can buy like chickens that he cooks in this giant open stove that has a wood fire under the grate and a big chimni. and the chicken is really good, but the location is bad so he doesnt get much business. for like 3 weeks hes been saying "anytime you guys have a monday where your not busy, come here and ill teach you how to make chimichurri and well cook chicken and pizzas and all that" so yesterday i was like lets do it, went and talked to him, and its on for today at 1, with the 4 of us. chimichurri is like a sauce here, with garlic and spices and its delicious. i will make it for you. i dont think the lunch is gonna be free but i actually hope its not. the poor dude words his butt off, he just doesnt know how to advertize. i think were some of his only costumers. yesterday when we walked by he had change the sign from "pollo, 40 pesos" to " super pollo, 40 pesos" it was the same chicken, hes just getting desperate. and who knows, meybe hell have so much fun he wants to come to church. his dads wife is a member but theyre seperated now and both of them love us but dont want to hear anything except chit chat, so whatever.
Then i think were gonna go to roque to play some football, and the 4 of us have a family home eveneing with a new member tonight.
other days are similar schedule wise. study till 10.30, work till 1, lunch, work till 9, with usually 3 good solid appointments and the rest just follow ups or contacting. the zone is having a bit of a rough time but well pull out of it.
One cool thing is that Elder Petersons companion is going with Elder Moeller and the zone leaders to villa dolores (where im pretty sure sean served for quite a while if i remember right) for tuesday and wednesday, so tuesday will be me and peterson in my area, and us in his wednesday. he and i still have that excitment that everyone seems to be losing, and we push each other and get along great. we had an exchange friday and worked together for the day and we got tons done so i think it will be a really good few days. with Elder Peterson its like wanna go there? yeah, okay lets do it. which is awsome because im so used to having to wait and sit for my companion to make a decision. with peterson, there is no senior companion, and we both just want to go, so we waste far less time. and i like that.
Well fam, youre just great. i look forward to hearing from you next week. love you!
p.s. no answer about the running shoes? we were gonna start tomorrow but it will be much harder in my soccer shoes with their souls that are oh so flat. i saw a store here that has the reebok zig... just sayin.
