I did have it in my carry-on.... the thing was that I had to put my carry-on on as regular luggage so yeah... well... if you can just find a ipod shuffle that will work. Also... odd as it sounds, the Sons of Provo soundtrack is allowed.... weird right?

 

So to answer the freaky question I've two experiences one back at the home and one while tracting. The home one is sad and silly, but we had a moth in the room so I was trying to remove/kill it. It started flying near our lightbulb, and I don´t really know what happened exactly, but i went to kill it with my eagles shirt (Mcnabb is gone!) and after that... there wasn't a lightbulb, a moth, and a lot of ashes... and a black spot on the cieling... which we believe to be the moth. The Freaky tracting story was only that two drunk men came and talked to us and they had a lot of cats.... that´s it really.

 

Well Florencia was married, baptized, and confirmed this weekend and it all worked perfectly so yeah. We did get an 'gator' (investigator) to come to church this week and see the confirmation, so we have a new progressing investigator named Patricia.

 

The greatest thing I learned so far was from our zone conference this weekend. E' Holbrook told me to come in with a question, so I did. Over the last few weeks I've felt like I haven´t been praying as hard or effectively as I should be. At the zone conference, Pres. Olsen felt inspired to talk about prayer and said in his lesson that we should pray at least a few times a week to our Father out loud because prayer is a two-way conversation. I know that was the answer that I needed and have started to do that now.

 

Yes... showers are how Dad described them... one room... tile... and uncontrolable water temperature.

 

Some more info about the mish. Here... we don't knock on a door very often. We stand outside the gates of the houses, becaue over 80% of the houses have lock and key, tall, gates, and clap. It's kinda cool actually, especially when they are obviously outside and they hide, good times.

 

I have found my favorite munchie food here, outside of all the other fantastic stuff here like ñoquis, empanadas, steak, and lots of bread and pasta. It´s a bakery item called a Criollos (Cree-o-shóws.) They're small, square, little biscuits that are like pilsburry grands biscuits in the fact that you can peel them apart.

 

Another thing is that dogs are EVERYWHERE, they are like birds and seagulls in utah, they just roam the streets. All of them are not neutered as well... so we've seen some pretty crazy things.

 

Anything about Dad´s mission and also if it´s possible, there's a member here who's way interested in Lacrosse and people want more pics of the family. If you just send them as attatchements, I can pull them off and put them on my camera.

Tracting is getting better, it looks like I'm losing a little bit of weight and it's not as tiring anymore. E' Holbrook and I are getting along just fine (We both freaked out when we saw the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie poster,) which I do hope that someone sees, buys... something like that. Well, my hour is about up so I will talk with y'all later, I haven't received any letters of any sort yet, but things can happen.

 

If you do end up being able to send a Shuffle, or any mp3 or music player, write on the package "Missionary Supplies" they reminded us of that today.
