Well my new area is cool, it is a big city right on the border, ive already seen the Uruguay elders walking in my area. I may be entering uruguay today with some other elders. My new LD is way cool, i like him a lot and its weird my district here is new. I am one of the oldest missionaries haha. The LZs are the oldest, my LD has one year down, and then me. So i actually feel like an older missionary here. The food is still the same, wont change ever. We have some richer members here though that make a few extra on the side. The work is still the same, a little hard but i am liking the new area where i dont feel like ive already knocked every single door. ****** called me on sunday and he is sad i am gone, haha. He might visit livramento soon and he wants to pass by and see me.
The other day we ate at a very good members house. The dad started teasing the 15 year old daughter and she freaked out and then got up and left the room. It made me laugh like crazy because i remember when dad does it to ashley and how sometimes the whole family would join in. Ah good times. Tomorrow is a zone conference and i am excitied to see Elder ****** again. Zone conference will be in Alegrete. During conference its one of the biggest holidays here in Rio grande do sul. Gauchos are coming into the city from everywhere and everybody is riding horses through out the city. Its good we have conference this day becasue nobody will be open to letting us in haha. The holiday is kind of stupid too because they are celebrating a war that they had with sao paulo. But sao paulo won.. so i dont get it.
Anyways thats all that is goin on here.
