5/27/2010- luxury of fast food!

Hey, Im doing good. Things are fine with my companion. He is super obedient and it has helped us a lot, but the problem we have is lack of unity and friendship. We just work together. but actually this week it has gotten alot better. We are really turning around how we are working with the members and everything. and YES i got the package, and it is awesome! thank you. the candy, random toys, and the ties were sweet. ties really are a treasure in the mission. im wearing one of the ones you sent right now. the photos were way awesome, looked like you guys had it way good. thank you for printing those talks too. it really was awesome. this week, we had an awesome zone conference, the last one with president resek before his good bye conference. crazy. we watch a movie called "the butterfly circus" its amazing (amazing-from the point of view of a missionary), you can find it on youtube. its a little bizaare but it teaches a lot of really good principles.

i also got to see elder abbot for the first time since we got here, it was soo cool. we got to catch up a bit on everything that has happened in our time here. he is doing really good. Also this week i got to go to santiago because i need to get registered to get my carnett. it was crazy, the metro is so packed downtown that you have to squeeze you way onto the train and the doors barely close behind you, i was going to take a picture but i couldnt move, ha, nuts. we got to pass by the temple, and we ate at burger king, ohh the luxury of fast food. ha. we werent able to finish because the international police was closed, so we have to go back another day. it reminded me alot of new york, a lot of the buildiings and architecture is old school and really neat.

We have been slowly finding more people. We are teaching this catholic lady right now who is way cool. Her name is Sara and she is around 40 years old. She really likes reading the book of mormon. one thing i have learned from elder hernandez is how to really focus on the spirit in every moment throughout the day. focus on our thoughts and what we think we should do whether it is or isnt written in our planner, and its been amazing. we keep finding oppurtunities to teach and find people. it has been getting quite cold, the humidity is what sucks. you can be wearing lots of warm clothes but the cold still penetrates, we have been enjoying a little rain now and then. oh lake powell, i dont even want to talk about that. that is so sick uncle john bought a camaro, he cant go too long without having some new kind of powertoy. but crap, running out of time, its been a good week, in both parts of the world it seems. I love you all, stay well and pray always, love
