Hello another crazy week in Uruguay‏

Hola a todos,

¿Cómo están? I hope that everyone is doing great. I am glad to hear that Jodi’s surgery went fine and that she doesn’t have a blood clot in her lungs that was a bit scary. This week was just about as crazy as the last one but it went by really fast. We had our interviews with President Peterson on Wednesday and they were great. As a ZL you get to have a longer interview with the Pres so it was great. They took a long time because we had to stay there the whole time we couldn’t leave early and go out to work. But afterwards we went out with the APs and got some ice cream so it was worth it. Then on Friday we went down to Montevideo and had out ZLC (Zone Leader Counsel) it was really cool. We talked about the numbers of the mission and what we need to do different to double the baptisms. We are really close to doubling the baptisms since I got here. When I got here we were baptizing 75 or so a month and now we are getting really close to 150. The Hermana Peterson cooked lunch and it was the best lunch that I have had since I have been on the mission. It was so good. So that made this week go by really fast. We have a baptism coming up this weekend a lady named Susana Mendez. She finally is going to get baptized she has been ready for a couple weeks but this week a bunch of her relatives are coming to town so she wanted to get baptized this week. Everything is going great here in P- we have a great zone and they are working hard we are going to have a successful change here in p-dú. Well on a lower note I have some bad news. I broke my camera on accident. Last week we went to the beach and were playing volleyball and soccer and Elder Oswald and I were taking some good pics down by the river and my camera fell into the water. Luckily I didn’t loose any pictures or anything but the bad news is I need to buy a new one. So I was thinking that I could just buy one here but I think they are a little more expensive. I found another Sony like the one that I have right now it is a little newer but it is like 400 dollars. I don’t know what we will want to do you could take all the money I have in my account and put it into my checking so I could buy that one. Or there is an Elder that is going home in 3 months and his parents are coming to pick him up so you could send it with them. I don’t know what you will want to do but if you think of any ideas write them to me next week. For now I am going to put all the pictures that Elder Oswald takes on my thumb drive so no hurry. I love you all have a great week. I hope that everything goes great with Golf and Camp. Work hard and have fun I love you all.
