why hello there my family,
well it sounds like you're all doing quite wonderful!!! yay, we'll i'm just peachy here in Montevideo, but i have to admit, it's a HUGE change to any other area that i've had!!! here there are ONLY buildings and appartments. to we have to ring doorbells on buildings a lot!!!! hahaha but it's all good. we actually hav a baptism this wek of a 50 year old guy named Jorge. super cool guy that LOVES to talk.... hahah and when i say loves to talk i mean it. after the abptism they asked him to share his testimonio about what happened and he talked for about 15-20 minutes. haha after 10 minutes the mision lìder of the ward got up and wispered in his ear saying that he needed to talk about the baptism and how it was and then to end. jaja and he kept talking for like 10 more minutes and finally the mision lìder kindof cut him, but in a nice way. also president heaton went to the baptism and was able to talk to us and stuff afterwards. the hermana heaton told me "finally you're in montevideo and we get to see you!!! but it's only for like a month more... hahaha" but it was super funny hahahaha but we've got quit a fewpeople listeneing to us. i'm not exactly sure what the misionaries before were doing but i stopped by like a few of their investigators and they accepted to be baptized and they tols me that the other missionaries hadn't even intived them to be baptized before..... so we're going to change quite a bit of things here. my comp is cool, he's from El Salvador, but kind of quite... i've been trying to relate to him and talk and include him but he's like acting super shy. like even the members have told me that before he wasn't like this... so it's kind of weird.... but we'll see what happenes. sorry if my spacing is kind of weird in this email... the space bar keeps breaking and not working or it will space too much and crap like that. but yeah, we've got a ton of RMs in the ward, FINALLY!!! a lot of them are newlyweds because everyone comes here to study and stuff like that. jaja but one of them that's name is Federico started to talk to me and told me, hey i've been waiting to get a good missionary here and i feel like i should give you a reference of my best friend. so this week we're going to pass by his friend and his friend is super interested. we've already talked to him for a little bit, SUPER STUD and is super interested in the church. he's seen the example of his friend (RM) federiico and has ben very impressed. so we'll see what happenes. i'm thinking this ward is going to be awesome. another random fact: the chruch here isn't even a church. it's a 6 story building!!!! the church bought a full sized building and now use it for institute and other stuff. but i thought it was cool because it's a building that has the church's sign on it. super random but cool. but thanks for all the emails and love,
luvs,
