News from Chris

hey, so how's it going up in swan valley? i'm having fun down here. the new president (Pres. Da Silva) is so tranquilo (calm). he is so great. he really knows what he's doing. we had a meeting with him this last week, and it went really good.

today we had a zone activity and got to play around a little bit. it was bunches of fun. sarah, im so sad to hear the news (that she will be turning 16 soon). i surely hope that i can get an extension on my mission. hahaha-

luckily this week has been mas o menos (more or less) nice. in the middle of the week it got kind of cold but then it warmed up again. at the principio de la semana we found a fam and they are great. and then we went back and there were about 7 more people there. we are going to baptize the whole barrio (district). sorry, sometimes i cant think what it is in ingles (English), but i figure that you got a dictionary. no? i love this work. i love being here in uruguay. i love my savior. and i know that he lives. that he loves us. i know that he has a plan for us. i know the truth. and i want todos (all) to have it. sarah, i just want to tell you even though you already know it. there is no half. i thought there was before. i can't give half. i can't do half. i have to give it all and that's what its all about. it's definitely worth the wait. some times we don't see the blessings for a long time but it is definitely worth giving your all in every moment. love yall and we'll talk next week.
