Transfers 5/20/09

Most of today's letter was personal stuff for the family, but here's what's leftover!

Hey fam!

I'm sending an email off to Tina next week (I ran out of time today).

Can't wait to see pics of the new and improved parents! 20 pounds... that's a lot for two weeks! I'll come back and teach you how to play soccer, a fool! hehe is mom still chugging along with the school board? I'm sure it is going great for her and she's doing a lot for the district. I brag about her all the time (but it is hard to explain the concept to the uruguayos...).

Yeah, I heard about that poet. (For more information, read about it HERE.) I was in a member's house watching the news and it was just a video feed of his funeral. It was pretty sad. But I don't really know who he is, so I'm not that torn up about it. hehe at the member's house, Elder Godoy told me a really funny joke. Uruguay is just a rebel state of Brazil inhabited by 3 million argentines. haha i really liked it and one of the members got kinda angry.

Cambios are here, Elder Godoy is headed off to Camino Carrasco, and he is going to be comps with my daddy, Elder Faber! I was so excited when I heard! I'm sure they'll do great together. They're the zone leaders of the offices, so they get to drop the cane on the assistants to the pres! My new companion is Elder Cundick from Salt Lake. His parents are or were in MoTab. He plays piano really well, I hear, so I'm excited. Last change he was a traveling assistant to the president, so I know he's a stud.

Let's see... I am a 16 1/2. That was in the email I sent. ;-) Other than that, just candy! And mashed potatoes and gravy, just like every other package. haha Elder Fowler and I ate that the other night, it was pretty good. But I have to buy milk to make the potatoes.

I'm sending some pictures, DSCN1137 is a wallpaper for your 16:9 computers of your favorite missionary. There's a place in Piedra Alta (one of the other areas in Florida) that's way gorgeous. IMG_1152 is our championship soccer team. We played our championship game in our zone, Elders vs Elders, and we won. It was a pretty close game, I scored 3 goals and played a pretty mean goalie. RSCN1059 is my English class. It is going pretty well. We learned the gerund that day. MOM NOTE: Holy Hannah! First I hear he's exercising every day, now I hear he not only played on the championship soccer team, but he scored 3 goals! This from the kid who took PE online!!!

Well my time is up, I hope the pictures made up for the short email. I love you all!
