So honestly...I forgot about Fathers Day...sorry Dad...it's just that they don't celebrate it here. And there isn't something fun like calling home to remind me. But Happy Belated Fathers Day.

Oh Busch Gardens...good times. But we went in the fall during Halloween. I actually really want to do that again. It was fun. I liked it a lot. Halloween 2012...lets go. But yeah. Busch Gardens is fun. Kings Dominion too.

Haha...and don't worry about the prayers mom. You told me that you didn't really pray for something like that. And besides...even if you had prayed for that you would have been overriding my prayers...remember. 1) I wanted to leave after Sallie was born. 2) I wanted to learn a language useful and 3) I wanted to go somewhere where when I told people they'd be like...that's cool. SO yeah...I got all 3. We serve where we need to be. Not where we want to go. Cause honestly...I wanted Japan or Italy...haha.

Hey and good luck with the Temple calling. That's cool. I think you'll enjoy it a lot.

I had my last Multizone with Pres. Perez this week. I had my last interview with him in May. Haha. Did I not write that?

And as DL...I am senior. My comp has 9 months in the mission...as in less time than me. Weird huh.

And strange food...nah. Nothing this week. I did try a new fruit...called zipote. I don't know the English word. Something I have never seen. I didn't really like it,but hey, I tried it.

So this week was interesting. We had 2 baptisms. The mom didn't get baptized because the dad of the kids is coming back and they aren't married. So she was worried about that. So we are just gonna keep working with her.

Let's see. I did divisions 3 times this week. That helped the week go by fast. The Multizone Thursday. It's been raining a lot actually. A ton of mud everywhere. Kind of sucks. But the boots are awesome.

And quite possibly the most exciting thing of the day. Americans vs. Latins for P-day playing soccer. Who won? That's right...the Americans. We won by 2 I think. Maybe 3. Isn't it weird how we won considering we don't really play it. But we did. It was intense honestly. Because it was like 9-9 before we got up by 2. We were playing on a small field so lots of goals. But yeah...I actually like soccer again. It's fun. Though I do miss basketball and football.

Anyways...that's about it. I got nothing else.

Love you guys. And miss you.

Love,
