Week 17!

hey there my family that i get to talk to on the phone in 5 days!! ¡FAH!

how's life going?  i'm doing absolutely wonderful down here!  before i start my email i wanted to tell you that i will call you at 7:00 at night my time! which is 2:00 your time!!! i will call you and it will to make sure i can get through but if i don't call within 15 minutes of that please call this number 47236649 that is my house number but i don't know the number to get INTO uruguay so you probably will have to look that up on the internet.  so thanks for that!!!!  now onto the fun stuff of the week!  we had divisions this week!  this was the very first time i've done divisions and gone to a different area so i was pretty excited!  i went with my zone leader (Elder White from Las Vegas) he's HUGE and stinking hilarious! we talked almost non stop about funny poop stories and things around that subject! hahaha he's a great guy and i learned a lot of things from him.  we found a recently dead dog on the side of the road and it made him get sick!  it was soooo funny!  another story with him was that we were walking in the total campo and we pass this house that had a HORSE of a dog in the yard but it was just chilling on the ground, but right as we walked by it Elder White kind of nudges me towards it and it just FLIPPED out and jumps at me but luckily it was chained to a wall but it still came within a foot of ripping apart my face!  i ALMOST peed my pants!  haha funny story, i taught Elder Ashby how to "Jerk" because he was on the mission during that whole dance craze! haha it's soo funny seeing him practice in our house! haha we started a game to keep our days light and lively, it's called "Jerk Where No Man's Jerked Before" we just try to see random areas during the day and "Jerk" where no one else has before haha it's actually a lot of fun!  hahaha i've ALSO taken up a new hobby! KNITTING!!  Elder Ashby just taught me how to knit so for a couple minutes before i go to bed i do some knitting ;) haha

Can't wait to talk to you guys on SATURDAY!!!
