Counting down--NOT! (12/6/10)

Well we've got like one month left... I just looked at my watch and it says 12/06... that means less than one month. Wow.

We are doing pretty well here. Nothing out of the ordinary to report. Yesterday in church we counted 10 non-members. There may have been more, but we weren't able to confirm. 10 might be the most I have ever had on my mission. Claudia and her kids came (that was 3) and Lucas came again (Facundo Lavega's friend). Everybody else were new people. So that's good news. Lucìa couldn't come though. She had to help her mom work (she sells stuff at the weekly fair in Maldonado every friday and sunday morning).

Well we have our mission christmas fireside on the 17th. I talked to Sister Da Silva, and she says that each zone is going to be asked to provide a musical number. I plan on having Sister Lee (clarinet) and Sister Walton (singer) do La Nochebuena (thanks for the new music dad! we prefer the v2) representing their zone (Rocha) and see if I can talk my zone into doing Far Far Away. I'll have to work in the Sisters.

I told Elder Davies about Haloti - turns out Haloti was his hero when he was playing on the defensive line at Oregon. He's super jealous I got to play church ball with him, but just thinking about it brings back the back pain from getting boxed out by him. :P

Mom - I need a super good meat loaf recipe. I don't recall eating any meatloaf that I liked (hehe) but maybe you or Aunt Rebecca or Nanny have a good recipe. We have a ward activity and the price of admission is a meatloaf. So I'm going to give it a shot. No spicy allowed. I'll need the recipe for next week!

Hmmmm.... what else is there to report? I think that's it. No pictures today, didn't take any good ones this week. Sorry.

I'll look for Nativity scenes... but chances are slim I'll find anything, and if I do it'll be chinese. I'll need money to buy them too. The only iconic Uruguayan nativity I'd be able to find would be if everyone had light blue jerseys from the world cup (the baby Jesus wearing #10, of course).

Well, I love you all! Send me some pics of Tina playing ball this year! :D
