changes! (8/24/10)

New Companions: Elder Thorderson and Elder Luke

Vilma's baptism

Hey fam!

insert!! hey guys this is elder polera!!!! how are you guys doing? oh noooo!! hes back. later !!!

Sorry fam... had to take a picture with my new comp to send you. So... yeah. Elder Turtleneck is in the cyber with me. He really liked mom's "have to go help emily poop a brick." We're still laughing.

Well changes today - I am headed to El Pinar in the Este Rural zone. Search for Solymar, Uruguay in Google Maps, that's my area. I'm gonna be with Elder Luke. He's from 29 Palms, CA. In the middle of the desert. He is of Samoan descent (he almost hit me when I asked if he was Tongan. haha) and his fam is living right now in Logan. So he's a pretty cool kid, I'm excited. I'm getting assigned as a DL (again, I'm SOOO happy!) and Elder Luke is saying that the Pres sent me to him to teach him. I told him that his main job isn't to learn - it's probably to keep me focused until the end! :P Nah.... I'm doing good. Not trunky at all. (Elder Turtleneck says "Now that you aren't with Elder Polera." haha so true!)

Other than that, not much to report. We're all tranquilo here. Vilma got baptized, Elder Arnold had a SICK fireside with the investigators and recent converts. And I had a personal interview with him... pretty intimidating. DONT WORRY - I didn't get caught. (That's Elder Polera. What I meant to say was that I didn't do anything wrong.) He just wanted to interview a couple of the ZLs and I got picked.

Well here are a couple of pics - Elder Luke and me and Vilma's baptism.

Love you all!
