Dear Mom and Dad,
The most important things first. Part three of the bat story. Our landlord put a screen thing on the window at about 9pm, when the bats were out flying around and eating. They can no longer get in our house!!! As of four days ago we are bat free!! And we have decently high hopes that we will stay that way. YAY!!!
I am so excited to hear that Cristy bore her testimony! I am so glad that she is doing well!! She has such a difficult life, and I worry about her. Thank you for the update!
Also exciting, Pedro Jr and Luis!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! How awesome! That is one of the most exciting things I have heard in a long long time! How are they both doing? Are they having any of the lessons in our house? How is Rocky doing right now with her mom being gone? Is she okay? Do Pedro and Luis have a baptisimal date? When is it?!?!?!
Its good to hear that things are going well for everyone in school! Haha, I am glad that Zac and Holly are behaving themselves and that their teachers know it! If I don´t get a chance to write Zac, will you make him write me and tell me what happened in seminary?! I want to know, it seems like a funny story, I don´t know why, it just does.
Did Summer decide if she wants to be the dance assistant?That sounds like a lot a fun, and something that would be up her alley! Is Summer still loving dance? Is she going to do any other sports this school year, or just dance?
Yay BYU! Oh, Dad, you would be proud. Here in Argentina there are two major soccer teams, and Boca and River. Now really, honestly speaking, I don´t have much of a preference, but here you have to be from one team or the other, and I am BOCA! Why? Because Boca is blue and yellow, and River is red and white. Haha. Oh the things that are just in our blood. Why did you have concessions? Is it for dance or cheer? Isn´tVicki her cheer coach? Did she have another baby?
We weren´t able to watch the General Relief Society Session. I am not sure if we will be able to this week or not. President Dominguez wasn´t sure. I hope so. If not, I will sure print out President Uchtdorfs talk! I am excited for General Conference this weekend, but a little sad since I will not be able to watch it in English. I was really hoping to be able to because I want to understand everything, but now I am just praying for the gift of tongues to kick in so I can still understand everything!
Mom-I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. But I am NOT glad to hear that you are not taking your medicine! Part of the deal of me being in a foreign county for 18 months, is that you have to take care of yourself. That includes taking your medicine! You said you were hoping that this whole thing would be behindyou bythe time I get home, but in order for that to happen, there are a couple of vital steps that you need to take! Have you had a Priesthood Blessing? When you aren´t feeling well, that could be something that could help. And if you have had one, there is nothing wrong with having a second one. (You just dont´need the oil a second time).
Overall things are going well. We are doing as much teaching as we can. Some days it feels like we get nothing done, and other days it feels like we have more than we can handle. Hopfully soon we´ll be able to spread things out a little better. Things are a little better with the branch, and we are hoping that we will be able to have a baptizm every week in October! We are really excited that we have a chance to meet the goal of the mission! Oh, speaking of which, the mission has almost reached its goal of 100 baptisms this month! We are just waiting to hear from Presidente if we reached it of not!
We had an activity on Saturday, and we had couple of our investigators there! That was really cool! And, I had to give a talk yesterday. Which went okay. Things in that area are getting better. I still don´t like to give talks in Spanish, but at least I feel like people can understand me now. So that is good. Haha.
Now, to fulfill my end of the "tell everthing" agreement, this week has been a little bit rough for me. Okay, really just the last couple of days. I don´t kmow why, but I have been hit with a couple of attacks of major homesickness. And it isn´t something I can even really explain in English, so I havn´t really talked to Hna Salas about it, nor with anyone else. So that is a little lonely. The downside of having a Latin companion I suppose. Up till now I hadn´t really thought there was one. I´ll be okay, I don´t want youto worry, but thats kinda how I´ve been feeling the last couple days. There is so much I want to be able to say to the people I am with all the time, but I just don´t have the vocabulary, and I love them, I really do, but it just isn´t the same as being with people who think the same as you do. Ugh. What a bummer thing to say. I am sorry!!!
All that aside, the chuch is still true! Isn´t that wonderful! Things will be good, and as President Hinckley always said "Things will work out!"
I love you all, and I am praying for you!
