Well it sounds like last week was an eventful week. I wish a happy birthday to both lisa and Kristi. You guys are getting way to old. Im old now. Man my companion talks about college stuff he did before the mission and it makes me want to go even more. Its good to hear about college football. I knew it started just didn’t have any updates. I liked the pictures that dad sent me. Even though I barely recognize those kids anymore. They are all like 12 years old to me. Well Halloween was last week. Didn’t really do much. Me and my comp drew on our faces this guy we had drawn on our board from a while ago(kind of weird I know it’s a long story) but I will send that picture later. Apparently here they are against that holiday and some aren’t. so some kids go to stores to get candy and teenagers run around in the street with drums yelling there is no Halloween! Its pretty weird. And this week I think there is a big catholic deal happening. Well I did hear that a new hulk came out, some of the new guys were telling me. I heard it was better than the last one. And what is this that Kristi gets the high tech phone? That’s crazy stuff like that doesn’t exist here. Well they do have iphone advertisements but noone ever has one. And its good to hear from Marvic, I forgot he is still there in highschool. He was a really good guy.(that’s one you can send the missionaries to) he is pretty humble. Tell him hello for me and to take over this year. Mom glad to hear you got that 84 on your brokers test but it made me think… now when I got that grade on anything you told me I should have done better… now how long have you studied for test?? That’s a joke mom don’t get mad at me. But that’s good. Good luck on your state test. Well to answer some questions I did get my shoes. They came out different than I wanted them. I told the guy to make them for a lot of walking and he decided to put that wood bottoms on it. So they aren’t the best walking shoes ever but they work and I like them. They are the slip on kind of shoes without laces. About the stuff in Bolivia. Don’t push for us getting the stuff. Im pretty sure president maynes is keeping it till we go back in January I think. So it will be less expensive to come back with one bag. And the stuff is in the assistants house in Bolivia. We are finding a couple people to teach. But its really hard here. I don’t want to complain at all cause im sure brooke and dean had it a lot harder. We are being obedient don’t have much problems with that. The economy is doing fine so far. Not many affects down here. But everyone has heard whats happening up there. And with elections this week everyone always asks us who is going to win. Other than that I have had a good week. O ya I felt another earth quake the other day. It was actually just a temblor which is just a shake. But they shake hard like twice and its done. It was a really cool feeling. Don’t worry I was in a place I jumped outside in like 3 seconds. Haha elder ridge was like running downs stairs as it was shaking and he said he couldn’t walk right. And I had a cool lesson the other day with this evangelist. They know there bible pretty well. It was this lady that had crazy thoughts about adam and eve. And wanted pure proof from the bible what I was saying. And so that was a test of my knowledge cause I don’t know the bible that great. I kind of studied up before I went over there. But man we went for an hour and I was scared she was going to tear me apart but luckily I had a lot of help from the promise in doctrine and covenants where I will have the words when I need it. And surprisingly I changed some of her beliefs and made her double think and studied up on it. She told me noone has ever seen God and I showed where like 5 people have seen him face to face and talked to him as a friend would. So ya that was pretty fun for me. Umm other than that im good. Im staying healthy. O ya we are going to be watching a movie today as a zone…. Batman and not the old one we are watching the new one. My opinion I really don’t want to and I don’t like how they can do that here but ya it’s a zone activity. There will also be ping pong where we are going so I will be able to play around again. It has been awhile. I did get to play a lil basketball after a service activity. I just had to keep the ball away from like 5 little kids. So it made me work on my dribbling skills. But I still have my shot luckily. I made like 3, 3 pointers so not everything has left me. But ya thanks for the letters this week. The pictures were really funny of jack. He looks like an old dog now. He needs a hair cut or something. But ya I love you guys and I have having a good time here. Hope yall have a good week.
