Hey Another sweet P-day! It's a holiday here so the whole town is shut down, but we begged and begged at the doorstep of the owner of a lanhouse here to let her open it up just for us, and it worked! So now we've got a lanhouse all to ourselves!
I will definitely be bringing chimarrao to the states. As much herva as can fit in my bag! It's turned into a serious habit! Making chimarrao in the morning helps me get my body moving, having water boiling makes it so I don't roll back into bed.
So glad you guys had a good time at the conference and so awesome about all the contacts you've made! Very cool that you could also enjoy the bike trails and river and everything. I also loved the quick list of all the blessings that our family enjoys! I gotta put that on the refrigerator! Man, I am just so full of gratefulness that all is well at home and that you guys are still going full force! When I compare the good news at home with the blessings of the mission and miracles we see out here, I just get full to the brink of happiness that God is really taking care of us. Awesome Mom!
I want to see photos of the wedding! Man, so weird that I'm going to go into the stage of everyone I know getting married. But very cool that you guys could help with that.
My week was good, and included a visit to Santa Cruz where I did my first baptismal interview to Jaine, who was super shy but I got her to open up a little after a lot of jokes and talking about my little sisters.

| I interviewed her! |
| We saw a book fair and a giant chess game, saw the outside of a giant cathedral and talked with a hardcore atheist about philosophy for a while. |
We ate a pig head. Pictures included.
We're still just knocking doors and looking for an elect family to start teaching. We've found a bunch of people but they just kind of fall through after the first visit. So we're still looking. I'm just enjoying the time studying, drinking chimarrao, drinking lots of drinkable yogurt, trying to get my BoM program off the ground, joking with Simmons, perfecting my accent, talking with lots of people, smiling, and staying happy. It's a nice little rhythm I've got into here. I really need to start trying to do more, but I'm gonna get there.
Sorry about not having too much time this week! We have a futbol match up with some kids who said americans can't play soccer at 3! We're going to mash their 13 year old faces into the mud! Just kidding! Yeah! :) It's not a match up but we will be playing football. Pray for me... :P
Have a good week! From your Con.
Tchau!
