Soccer, magic tricks, and disappearing aparment complexes

What a roller coaster of emotion. and so much emotion. Up and down then up and then go smashing back down again. Haha but we´re all good. Sadly this week wasn´t too exciting. I went to Lider for my first time today. it´s owned by walmart so very simular but with chilean food. Man soccer! If i´ve already said this please forgive but its crazy! I´m kinda praying that Chile would loose. I know bad right? but they are in the american cup right now and when they play (I am not exaderating) No one is in the streets! no one will answer there doors! We just keep on walking looking in windows and seeing that every single person has the exact same television screen. I don´t know what to do its crazy. But the coolest noise ever is when they score. the entire city just explodes! people scream GOAL and the barges and boats in port blow their horns. It´s so cool. The other day we were doing a family home evening with these members and an investigator family. We played these awesome intense games and when you lost you had to do a chiste. (tell a joke or sing a song) I did head shoulders knees and toes but the one that got the laughs were my magic tricks! they were a hit! You know the ones when i throw my finger up and catch it. or the one i put a finger behind a cloth and two magically apear. yup those. Chileans are crazy about weight and achne. yeah when you got a white thing on your face they will be plenty kind enough to point it out. they´re also very embarassed when they got one. they try everything they can to have smooth skin. Oh also these apartment complexes next to us got titled as unsafe to live in after the earth quake. Its crazy cause they´re disapearing! the other night we passed two guys carying a part of the roof to their houses. You also see parts of these apartments starting to apear on random houses through out the city. Two apartment buildings are totally gone and there are like five left. Its like cocroaches. haha so anyway love and miss you all so so much. The Church is true.
