Well sounds like everyone had a good conference weekend. I didnt get to hear thefirst session on Saturday because i was tearing down a wall for service. But we got to watch all the sessions in english which is way better. It was really coolfor us because... i knew 3 people that were in it. The 2 guys in the 2nd sessionon Sunday who had really strong accents. One from peru and one from brazil. Ya iwas with them like 2 weeks ago and shook there hand, and as well the guy who gavethe last prayer was Elder Nash who i have heard many times when this whole changewas going on. He does this lie detector test. He always wants to shake every missionarieshand then puts his hands on your shoulders and looks into your soul. Not even lieingafter he did it he told us that he was looking of how worthy we look. When he staresinto your eyes you feel like a little kid and think of any little thing you havedone wrong in your life. He is an amazing speaker. And im not sure you noticed butin his prayer that he asked for the governments in the world to permit the missionwork in(i think he was referring to us) so that was really cool to hear. But as for me i am having a better time. We are getting a lil more use to the rules andstuff here. Its still the polution fog every day and it is actually cold 6 days out of the week. But we dont have sweaters or anything and we have survived so far.Um we have no clue when our stuff is going to get here. I have heard more of we might go back soon. But the people here are interesting. The area we are in is oneof the riches areas in the mission of course. We have super mall just outside ourarea. And as well a MCDONALDS man we ate there with a bunch of americans from boliviaand we were loving it. It had been sooo long. So that was pretty fun. For my birthdayi really didnt do too much. I just bought a huge cake and at night i played a lilguitar and got my face smashed in a cake. Umm dad thanks for the quote of the day.That was from the sisters talk in conference i think that stuck out in my mind too.I also thought of you when the profet talked about the Music Man and i laughed andnobody else knew what i was talking about. Me and elder taylor are still workinghard. We have recently figured out that noone believes us that we do our numbersand thats why they dont like us. But the district leader went on changes with mycomp and got to work really hard with him. So i think that has helped us a littlehere. Because ever since we got here they said they uped there contact goals to what we had in Bolivia. It was 105 but we said we were doing 140 every week so thepresident changed it for them too. I think me and taylor work together well he cantalk really good spanish now, its funny to see him talk because in the ccm he wantedto quit so many times. I really enjoyed what the prophet said about the kid thatwanted to quit spanish and went to the japonese class. O ya in the mtc choir.. robbyjenkins was in it. I saw him for a few seconds and yelled i know him! But im notsure if it was him or not. But it really looked like him. Glad to hear that BYU is doing good its about time that we shine out a lil better. And thats crazy whatthe government did to help AIG. But hey i think its better than goin into a depression. when you dad talked about the gas shortage it reminded me of bolivia because randomdays it would just cut off for the whole city and everyone would be in lines allday. Hey im going to try to send some pictures in another email of me and elder taylor. And the new guy we got took the place of the columbian but we are learningto get along with the other one now.(because we changed rooms to have our own) hahai also had to build a bunk bed for me and elder taylor. It almost fell one nightbut now its fine. Umm but it was glad to hear from all of you. Im doing fine dontworry about me. And hope you all have a good week. I love you all and hope all arebeing safe. Dad good luck in your business stuff. Just got to use that ol missionaryteaching skills. And ya write yall next week.
