Happy Halloween! um so i saw two costums yesterday. other then that no one celebrates it down here. it really scares them they said. they really don´t like it and think we´re devil worshipers for celebrating it in the states. can´t argue it´s a pretty creepy holiday. and today´s day of the dead so everyone´s going to go to the cemetaries. yup. well i couldn´t write yesterday cuz we had a huge mision P day. it was sweet. we went to a nice soccer field and just did a whole bunch of fun games. one went terribly wrong. we put all our shoes in the middle of the field adn the zone to get all their shoes back on wins. yeah when i saw how big the pile was and how many missionaries were all surrounding it I knew it was going to be a bad idea. nobody got hurt to bad. o yeah about getting a little banged up. there were these two missionaries doing tricks and stuff and i realy wanted to learn one so i had them teach me how to do a backflip on the ground. yeah how sweet is that! I landed on my face though. so yeah mom i think i´ll just save all those talents tell after the mission. but it was sweet. O small world time. there´s an Elder Mendonhall from Sky View here. and also an Elder Poulsen who´s an excellent friend of Whitney Reed´s from Virginia. how sweet is that? yeah it was fun to meet up with everyone and play a bit. Everyone´s telling me i´m an oldy in the mission now but i totally don´t feel like it. Spanish is really hard. the kids under me are starting to get it down and it makes me feel pretty slow. older guys are starting to wonder why i dont got it yet. so that kinda sucks but whatev. i can teach in the language i just can´t crake the jokes that i want to. It´s hard to use spanish when we have a house full of greengo´s. been a hard cambio but i´m loving it. glad i´m still in centinela and have support from all the friends i´ve made here. this week i´ll keep better attention of what´s going on so i can write more but this week was pretty much just this. we´ve been knocking alot to find some new investigators. not much luck but we talked today and have some great ideas. love you all and miss you tons.
