Time for a new post

This week was a lot better than last week. That lady who lost four sons.... well her name is maria and I told you how they were doing great but then they were rude to us. Weel we had two amzing appointment with them this week. First off we got to the house and they were jst kinda seeming like they didnt really want us there and it was hard to talk to them and what not but then we asked if they were saying their prayers... and the mom went crazy... in a good way. She said it was hard at first but the family pushed her and they said their family prayers... then her husband found work (they werent able to eat because the dad had no work) but he found some at a potato factory so now they get potatos super cheap which is awesome. She said that when she looks at the pictures of her sons that have passsed that she doesnt cry anymore because she knows that she is going to see them someday. This lady didnt believe in God!!! But things are getting a lot better for them... but only the two daughter went to church this week... the mother doesnt like church.... very common here, we have tons of problems with members and the Bishop that we are trying to fix right now. But yeah everything is marching with that right now. Lets just hope for the best....
Also we had our first baptism this week... sweet dude named Carlos... I got to do the confirmation which was pretty awesome. I hope I get to see his family go through the temple.
My Health is good... when I first got here I lost a good amount of weight because we have one meal a day from 12 to 1 and then we are back in the streets the whole day. But now the mewmbers are super nice to us here. They always give us food when we come over and it is hard to get out. So I have gotten back to my mormal weight again...haha its all good I decided a couple months before I go home I will get worried but right now I have plenty of time.
And I have a speacial project for Dad.... We have this crazy church here called Pare de Sufrir... or in english (not direct translation) Stop the Suffering.... This church is growing huge down in south america and now when we talk to people they say its all over in america and everywhere in the world. I have never heard of this church till I got here. I think the church might be lying to their people a little bit but it could be true cause its pretty big down here. But I kinda wanna know the gist about this church... Dad if you have time. They have a bunch of websites, we try and talk to a lot of their people about their beliefs and why they like it but we cant quite figure them out.... they selll soap that washes away your sins!!!! So just copy and paste a little bit about them... what they beleive... if you can find it, anything to help me out. That would be awesome....
Pride is killing this area of Tacuarembo for sure, there are close to 600 members in this small area and maybe 150 are active. Everyone is either a member here or wants nothing to do with the church.... at times it is hard buch we still have people that are going to get baptized showed its show that this area isnt quite done yet.
This week we had a Rat in the house.... the thing seriuously ruined the house.... I saw it, no one believed me then we moved my bed and picked up a bag and they it was... thing was super freaky... and ways we tore apart our room trying to find it then I saw it run into the Bathroom... once again the other elders thought I was lying. But we went it and check under the cubboard and it came runnin out... one of the elders freaked and tried to jump om the sink but ended up breaking the water so the house got all wet then we turned off the water and now we dont really have water in our house. Someone has to hold the pipe closed while the other takes a shower... but then we figured out a better way to fix it to save the embarrassment in the mornings.... but it doesnt work that welll... its a cork but it stilll leaks. So we will have to get that fixed soon.
I know you have been dying to know where I write e mails Dad... haha. The place I live in T-bo is on the outskirts by the farms and whatnot not... there is some stuff in the central part o town like a Cyber where you pay to use the computers.... its not really that expensive. But yeah thats what I do.... I am sorry I really have no Idea what the Perpetual Preparation Fund her in uruguay is.... but I doubt they have it.... the gov is dumb here.
But I gotta go.... love you all and miss ya.
