Gotta have their TV ja ja

In my Christmas package (Thanks Uncle Ray for the card and money you sent!!) all the items were still wrapped but the Christmas tree which I set up when I got the package. The rest I opened on Christmas! I have folded a couple of the LDS origami like the Nephite temple and Mosiah´s tower. I haven´t given it to anyone though... haha I also read the Be Attitudes by Pres Hinkley. It is a really good book I liked it a lot! I have also been doing the crosswords and such. Now I just need to upload the music from the cds onto my Ipod so I can listen to it. I´ll do that next week when I have a little more time. Thanks for the package I loved it!

Notice all the satellite dishes on the houses ha ha

This week was pretty good. We had four people in the church! That was great! We have some investigators again but not very many so we still have a lot of looking to do. I don´t really like contacting but it has to be done... 
We haven´t had water in our bathroom for fourteen days now and have been using a pot to flush and shower and it is a huge pain. But these last two days we haven´t had any water at all so we have been using some of our emergency water to drink, shower, cook, etc. Also sometimes the plastic bags are back in because flushing uses up a lot of our precious water. The problem is with the city and we can´t do anything to fix it.... We are however going pension hunting this afternoon with the branch president so hopefully we will find something good! We want to move in above the church but the branch president was saying something about how he wants us to move in with the other elders all of us to a new pench. We will see what ones he has found. We really want to go above the church because the church now has AC and so we could go down and do our studies and on pdays also we could have it so that one person writes and the other sleeps or whatever and then switch because it is cooler in the church and the internet is better and the computer is nicer, haha. Also on pdays we would be able to play some ping pong.

Yesterday I didn´t get to write because I went to the new missionary training meeting (I thought I was a little old for that... jaja). Well really I went to translate. Translating is a lot harder than it seems. You have to listen and talk at the same time. Also you have to make sure that ALL the words are coming out in English and that it makes sense because you can´t just directly translate the words, it wouldn´t make sense. Also if you miss a word or two that the speaker said it can ruin the sentence. So we think that our branch president had a few choice words with Pres Heyman. We saw him there at the new missionary training meeting and he said that he had an appointment with Pres Hayman. He has been getting mad because he doesn´t like our penshes and we still haven´t had a phone for a transfer and a half. (We finally got a phone!! at the meeting) So we still don´t know what went down in that meeting but we know that president likes to yell and debate and Pres Heyman was a really good lawyer and doesn´t take crap from anyone. I would have liked to see it go down, haha
I don´t know if I already said this but recently when we had the missionary’s in a trio with us one of them named Elder Carrera had received this really cool training on the folletos (flyers) about how to teach with them. The folletos were made by Pres Hinkley and are really awesome. The training has to do with we ask inspired questions and they answer and teach themselves. Then in the end learn by speaking truths to themselves. They tell us that the apostles are giving Joseph Smith the authority and that it is important because with that he could restore the church and baptize. It is really awesome! It doesn´t work quite so well with the evangelicos (who I found out are called evangelists in english)

I don´t know if you plan on sending any more padded envelopes but a couple things that would be nice if you do is the really nice plantillas (I can´t remember the name in english I think it is soul) for shoes. The gel ones because they make all the difference. I have some right now but they are starting to get old and I would like another set for the last year of the mish. Also I have heard there are these electronic dog whistles that make them go running. It would be really funny to have one especially because there are dogs everywhere, haha. 
I love you guys very much and I can´t wait to hear from you next week!
