hello family, so this last week was pretty good. new years here is exactly like christmas, its awesome, so we went to the district leaders apartment and stayed the night there. i lit off some crazy big explosions, these are the real blow your fingers off ones. then we had tacos, we found some hot sauce that actually comares to that lousiana stuff. then when i woke up in the morning a random thought on how to build a fun rocket popped into my head, so i thought it out and put it on paper. its weird how things work like that. today we went to this enclosed soccer court, it was really nice with the astroturf and all. best of all it was cheap. so we played for a little bit and then we went by a store where i bought some hair clippers, ive been needing to cutit for the last month really. so i thought it would be good to buy one here. i wish that i would have brought the one from home, all well. so the other day when i went on splits with elder sigmund we cam across two women and we basically taught them the first lesson on their porch, well i thought that they were the reference that lived in the neighborhood but it turns out the reference lives next door. i dont know how things come about like that but it really makes you think if it was a prompting or not, well i guess well see about that, if its a baptism then ill buy it, lol. so asfor your question dad about silly stories, one thing that happened is when iwas in the house of the Cuello family, she asked me if we had eaten lunch and what we ate, so i told her some type of pasta that i didnt know the name of it in spanish, well what we ate was penne pasta, but if you say that in spanish in means weiner, i already knew it so i told her that the english name is bad in spanish, that only intrigued her so she asked me what it was, penne pasta, she got a good kick out of that. im just glad that i already knew tat word, however i know a elder that came in my group that didnt and he was saying it in front of teh branch president and his family for a while. if only i was there. lol. another story that didnt happen to me but my comp is that i had just made pizza, so he grabs a big peice and goes to take a bite and all the toppings fall off and into his lap, it was really funny. thats about all the funny that i can think of for now. so yesterday we went to the shipping area of quequen and there was a spot that used to have a bridge. all thats left are the two ends. and there is an old rusty boat right next to it touching one of the pillars, i think that it crashed into it a while back so all they did was take down most of the bridge, so we played around on the bridge for a while. itook a picture with beachside necochea where all the big hotels are, it looks like it could be the next backdrop for i am legend, its kind cool. so this last week to start off a good new year ive started readig the BoM only in spanish, and what i do is when i find a word or phrase that i dont know i underline it and write it above. so far its seems to be helping me clear up my bad grammar. but then again it does leave me with a headache usually. this last week has been insanely ho, and very humid, its really miserable, that and the mosquitos molest you very night, you can always hear them in near you ear. so i try to make it a habit to put on the insect repellant before i go to bed. that and i sleep in a little brick oven. it gets insanely hot inside as well, the fan only barely helps. any ideas¿¿?¿??¿???¿?¿?¿ well that pretty much sums up my stories. got to go, love you all! elder seegrist
