Yeah!!! Go Eagles!!! I knew that they would want to do that, as would the entire Philly community. Well as for me, I cannot believe where I am still. I'm in a city south of Córdoba called Alta Gracia, and serve specifically in the are El Crucero. The members are nice, and have provided some great food. One of them was especially interested that I played Lacrosse and looked it up. He came over during conference and was totally excited by it all. Anywho, in spiritual matters, we have a wedding and baptism this week for a woman named Florencia. She is being married to a member named Hector this week on the 9th, and she will be baptized the 10th. My new companion is Elder Holbrook from Lehi. We also room with two native-ish elders. One is named Elder Trigo, the other Elder Fontes. Elder Fontes is from Uruguay and wants to know where Dad served specifically and when.

 

I got to meet some of the other Elders in our zone (Córdoba South) and they actually had me sing a bit of a song for them while my comp played his guitar... they enjoyed it quite a bit.

 

So yeah I got to view the last 3 sessions of conference in English cause the first two we didn´t have anyone to set-up the english transmission. And we did get to go past curfew and also sleep in a little (so we could have the full 8 hours that we need) I loved it all, especially Pres Uchtdorf´s in priesthood session about Patience.

 

Another thing, one of my bags was stolen from...the one that had the Ipod, plus the cord with it. Nothing else was stolen. I was wondering though if I could have another sent to me with similar songs, now that I know what I can and can´t listen to. I can listen to Motab, and church stuff, but I can listen to others like all A capella (Vocal Point, Moosebutter) and instrumental, Disney, soundtrack (Lord of the Rings, Star wars, my PLAY cd) and anything that is good (Like "my hero" by paramore) if you can send me one yay, if not it´s all good...with the power cord of course. If you do send it, make sure to put a list of the contents on it.

 

The Rest of our district did arrive this wed. but none are in my current district or zone. I learned a bit about the weather here, there´s two seasons, the rainy, and the dry. I got here as the rainy was ending, but it still started pouring on Friday. OH and a funny thing, our plug converter didn´t even need the other extension part, it works just fine by itself.

Well, just keep me updated on everything, the salvage of Lil´ Red as well.

 

Thanks Mom!

Notes:

• Donovan McNabb, the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, was traded to their rival, the Redskins. 
• As for the music, I am not sending him an iPod shuffle with Paramore on it!
• Lil' Red is the kids' car (pretty much Ian's since no one else drives) and it was involved in an accident.
