The World Cup has arrived

HOLA!!! como andan todos? todo bien? espero que si! bueno ahora en ingles. how is everyone?? i hope everyone had a wonderful week! its been pretty crazy down here in good ol uruguay! for those of you that dont know anything about soccer or sports.. the world cup has now begun!!! back home im sure you can get away without knowing this, but here you would have to live under a rock out in the campo with all the gauchos.. and even then you could still probably hear all the yelling and fireworks! haha it is absolutely insane. I LOVE IT!!!! they shut down all the shops and factories and the streets become deserted when there are games on. especially when uruguay plays! on friday when they were playing we were lucky enough to be over at the bishops house helping with a service project, having lunch and doing our laundry and so we got to watch a little bit of it. haha i have to admit, i didnt want to leave when it came the time! but a missionary´s got to do what a missionary´s got to do! it was awesome to even get to watch for a little bit. theyre playing again this week and im hoping we´ll be somewhere where we can watch a little bit. haha cuz its almost impossible to find during this time. vamos uruguay!! i heard that the usa tied with england! thats awesome too! go usa! hahah so fun.. i love it! you can talk to almost any man about futbol for hours.. its a good way to get in doors haha.

we found some pretty cool people this week! we decided to tract a street that we had never seen before and we found a bunch of cool people! there is an awesome older couple who had actually talked with the missionaries a year before and have already gone to church three times. we just need them to say yes and they can be baptized! i sure hope so! we are working with the son of alfredo and edelbis and his family. they are a young family and very interested. its just been hard to get them to come to church! we´re working on it though. their 6 year old son loves to say prayers. its really cool! the sosa family has been having some struggles lately. gabrielas family have all the sudden come out in opposition to the church. and have started to call juan a crazy person for being so faithful to the church. its no good! we are working on this as well! please pray for them!

oh and guess what!? i spoke in church yesterday! haha i know shocking.. i did it! i spoke for 10 min in spanish and everything! woo hoo! sorry im running out of time but also changes are coming up this next week. im pretty nervous! ahhh hahah oh well the lord will send me where im needed! i love you all! sorry so short!

love,
