6.9.14

Ok so this week I came up with a new way to teach one of the lessons that we teach to the people that makes it almost impossible for the people to deny us. I went on divisions with the zone leaders and taught it to them and they want to teach the entire zone. Just by doing everything that we're supposed to be doing, we have seen so many things change here. The bishop thinks that we're the best missionaries ever and I never want to leave this area with what's been going on. 

Also, as the World Cup gets closer, people have been telling us that we shouldn't work when Uruguay plays. I've been talking to the bishop and the leaders and they have been saying that we can't have an activity this month because of the World Cup. I about lost my mind...I was like,''WHAT!! that’s the best way to get these people to come to an activity at the church. Let’s get the game going in the church and we can have a dinner or lunch while the game’s being projected.  Nobody likes lame activities and why not use this awesome event to our advantage and get the ward together to watch ONE game.”  I will be emailing Pte Smith to see if it would be ok to do this, and maybe make tacos or something with the members before the game. We probably won't be able to watch the game with the ward but we could easily go around looking for people who are down to watch the game with a bunch of Mormons in a clean environment. (wow my spelling has become even worse...) But yeah, I'm working on that too. 

I didn't receive an email from Paris. But I’ll be sure to resond when she emails me. Things are going amazing here. Thanks for everything, I always feel like I forget to talk about things with you, but I’ll start writing things down from now on.
