Hello again ladies and gentlemen

 Greetings to all. I just had my pday so not a whole ton to report on! Just some random things that come to my mind. 

In my farewell talk I said that I had heard that here in Uruguay the houses have names instead of numbers. Well when I was here my first time I did not see that. I can now testify to you all that I am not a liar. The names vary from "Dream of Love" to "The Barbie," so it has been fun to see those names!

If you are interested in these numbers, it is my best estimate. We probably spend around a full 30 minutes to an hour every day waiting to cross the big highway. Another interesting number is that we think we probably walk around 3 hours a day because everything is far away jaja.

We met a funny young single adult member whose PlayStation controllers are named 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi so that was a pretty epic laugh.

We visited a less active who was going through a tough situation, there were 2 other guys living at her place. 1 was a man who is in a super bad physical situation and the other was familiar with us. Everyone there except us was loopy on some crazy stuff and we witnessed verbal abuse and threats and then said a prayer and witnessed compliments and sweet talk. Let's just say it was one of the most interesting experiences of my life.

I love you reader.

Love, me

- Going for a swim (analyzing and planning the pool baptism)

- Preaching to an immense multitude of several hundred (not pictured as the frame of the photo cuts them off, covid restrictions followed)

- Me and my friends we are teaching! They are a pair of siblings, and the brother is insane for the soccer team here that I like so we get along well. He sings me the anthems and chants the cheers and randomly screams the team name at people walking past. I love them both jaja!

- Here in Parque del Plata I have decided that it resembles Northern California and Southern California. Desert and also pine trees which is interesting. Then there are tropical trees, plants, and flowers. Also marshes here and there. We've got everything folks!
