hey, family how are you doing, i am doing great, living it up in argentina, so i had this all written but then i deleted all of it so i get to start again,yay. i hate this keyboard, sorry for the typos. but life is good, not a whole lot happened since last week, last pday i played ultimate frisbee, it was awesome because its about the only thing that i can do, then we had service on saturday with a member, we were ¨cutting grass¨. more or less all the weeds in their front yard, it went well but i had a hard time understanding exactly what she wanted me to do, we were clearing the yard clearing it of trash, she wanted some to go in a fire but she was very particular about what went in, it took while but atleast she fed us, she is good at that, we have lunch with that family about once a week, so today was pretty lazy, just sat around the house and ate food, i had a hotdpg and some bread with dulce de leche, i dont know if you know much about it but its like caramel but ten times better, its soo good you should find it, so yesterday we had splits, luckily i had someone english, it can be really stressfull when you dont understand anything, so i nod alot, smile and say si, thats about all i can do, i understand the words they say i just can process it, and their accent doesnt help either, but its all good, im learning really fast. so i found out that they tax the packages by weight, not value, but they do open it as soon as you pay for it, so they can check for prohibited stuff like peanut butter, so for christmas i would like a nalgene bottle, about 24 oz, nothing big, an actual frisbee, about 175-200 grams, and some socks, candy, nothing with peanut butter, herdez salsa and gum, well enough of that, so when we went o splits, we visited an ex investigator and she was sick, so my comp asked if she wanted a blessing, surprisingly she said she did, so we blessed her and left, hopefully she will be interested again, also i have been reading in alma, about the people of ammon, they were such righteous people its really cool, they would rather give they lives and be saved than break their covenants, if only more peopl had that kind of courage and faith, so i hav finished the BoM since i have been out, i seem to blow right through it, its really cool. for once i enjoy reading it on my own. i love feeling i get when i read it. i always feel happy when i do. so one thing thathas ben really weird is all these dreams i have been had, and its not uncommon to have several in one night, some are really creepy and others and really weird and occasionally funny, one night i actually laughed in my sleep, i woke up right after that, haha atleast they are somewhat entertaining. so its ben really nice weather down here, it will be weird to spend christmas with warm weather, but it will be cool also, well not much else to say, i love you all have an awesome week!! oh and jared can you get sister gibbons email address for me, thanks
