"Chicken Surgery" Don't try this at home!


I found out... nothing much about my knee. We waited for 1.5 hours to go in then another 45min for the doctor to come in and say well... I think it is an overuse injury. So after that he said that I should go to therapy and that should fix it. I told Sister Cook this and am waiting for her to tell me what to do. If I go to therapy they told me that it would be a $20 copay, and I paid a $20 copay to go in, hopefully not too expensive! But I think that I will probably be going to a therapy session next Wednesday is what it sounds like.

I didn't see a package today but we didn't pass the zone leaders car either. Also I don't know if I'll get it this week because for some reason we got some letters yesterday night and I got a letter from grandpa but no package... so I don't know if that means that we aren't getting any more mail this week or what! But I really want my package I have been waiting for the camera all week!!!

Pues... good, and not so good... We have been having investigators drop like flies. It has all been because their families don’t want them to meet with us anymore, so it is out of our control. We have however been having miracles happen, like we have a husband of a family who is considered a dry mormon (goes to church, activities, everything but baptized) that is thinking about a baptismal date when he hasn't in 8 years! And with G he can't get baptized this Saturday because he didn't go to church. He texted us Monday and said he wants to move his date back 2-3 weeks... so we are meeting with him today and going to talk about it.

In the mornings we go to this tennis court thing that is at our apartment and my companions run around the edge of it (or at least they are supposed to) while I do exercises in the middle. A lot of times what ends up happening is we end up playing with Elder Herrera's soccer ball.

As for my favorite family to eat with it is probably the Vidals. They are hilarious, plus where they are from makes it even better. So they are originally from Chile and then moved to Australia because the dad served his mission there so they also have a lot of Australian stuff. It is funny because they talk with an Australian accent and then they will start speaking Spanish and that is in a Chilean accent. They also have a son who was on a mission but has been home due to being really sick because of the food he ate in Mexico (menudo and mole) and he is really cool. He just left back out to Colorado this Monday though! But it was cool, one day when we went over for dinner the dad gave us some cool Australian stuff because he says he has too much, ha-ha that was the night we were playing the didgeridoo (or however you spell it) I will probably send the boomerang he gave me home when I send the other stuff that I don't think I will have room to take to Argentina. Plus the food they give us is really good!

Some funny things that happened lately... well just a couple of days ago Elder Herrera was walking around "shooting" people with his birdie finger. I guess in Colombia they call that the pistol, idk, ha-ha but we kept telling him that he couldn't do that here but he was insisting that it was ok because that is the corazon finger. I think he finally gets that he shouldn’t do it but I think he likes to do things like that because he can play the innocent card and get away with it. Oh, and better yet was a couple days ago (pictures of this) we got a chicken for dinner. Elder Herrera decided he was going to cut it and began cutting the whole thing in half (rotisserie chicken). I told him that wasn't how you did it but he wouldn't listen and proceeded anyway. By the end it looked disgusting and I took a piece of the breast and ate that but had lost my appetite because of his "chicken surgery" as he called it. You will have to look at the pictures of him as he ate the entire rest of the chicken (me and Elder Fe didn't eat much because of how gross it looked with the inside hanging out and all over the rest). He ate basically the whole chicken by himself making a huge mess and was covered in grease. Look at the pictures and you will see ha-ha but after that he was making weird faces and saying that his stomach hurt, ha-ha we couldn't stop laughing at the weird faces he was pulling. Then Elder Fe went into a laughing fit for 10+ min and I recorded a part of it that will be on dropbox. That was funny, although very messy.


We get to go to the San Diego temple every other transfer i.e. this one. So at some point this transfer we will get to go and I hope I do because it is such a crazy cool temple! Have you seen it? It didn't have a budget when it was being built and I can only imagine what it would look like on the inside!

Como es mi espanol? no se, jeje Digame! Ojala es bien! Estoy practicando todos los dias y aprendiendo mucho cada dia. Puedo endender que personas dicir casi todo el tiempo pero hay personas quein son muy dificil a entender. Ellos habla bajo o con un fuerte accento. Pero por lo mas puedo entender todo. Yo se por seguro es bastante major de cuando sali el ccm. No hay un comparacion a eso teimpo. Hablamos en espanol todos los dias casi todo el tiempo porque elder Herrera no le gusta a hablar ingles y no trataria a hacerlo.

I don't have a calling in the branch. We did bear our testimonies the first fast Sunday, but that was it. Elder Herrera had to teach one of the gospel principles lessons but besides that nothing specifically for the ward. But doing it wouldn't be very hard; we do everything in Spanish all day anyway, ha-ha

I was able to print the newsletter, thanks, it was great!

Oh, and thanks, I will buy more dryer sheets then, ha-ha

I love you guy’s soo very much and miss you! I can't wait to hear from you more next week!


Signs like this don't worry us :)
