Week 70!

hey there,
long time since we last talked right???  haha just kidding!  but it was super fun getting to talk to all of you guys yesterday and to hear how much all of you guys have changed in these last 8 months from my last phone call.  this week was super fun, first off tuesday night i went to Montevideo to pick up my KID.  i got there wednesday at 5:00 in the morning in Deo and luckily there was a Zome leader that was saiting for a fw of his new elders coming to his zone so he let us sleep in his house for an hour and a half while he was going to stay there at the bus terminal.  we got to the mission home at 8:00 AM and i had a training session with the mission president and the other trainers.  we did that for a while and we asked questions and a lot of stuff like that.  at 12:00 we got to find out who our kids were.  like i told you guys on the phone call last night my new companion is Elder Duke and he is from Eagle Mountain, UTAH (near Lehi).  he's super funny nd i know that we were ment to be comps, we have the same super random personality, he's a little more high stressed but i think it might just be because of his nerves that he has right now.  it's funny, he took 4 years of spanish in high school but it doesn't show toooooooo much. haha  he definitely knows about as much as i knew when i got here.  but he's super excited so it's fun seeing a few of his horrible fails trying to speek spanish.  but it's all good because he definitely wants to learn and is willing to put forth his effort to lean what he needs to learn.  it's going to be a FUN two changes with Elder DUKE!!!!  but because i kinda said everything to you guys that i had to say, i think that that's it.....
i love you all and thanks a CRAP TON for all the presents, letters, emails, prayers, and LOVE
