With the jacket I can't look on Amazon because it has to be a church web site only Just send me one like dad's that is water proof.  I am sure the one you found on line is good, but it has to be black so I can tract in it. The rain is crazy down here.  After it rains, everything is super muddy and you track it everywhere. But it's all good. With my visa, no I haven't got it yet.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Dad, with the anointing oil for blessings, can I buy olive oil at the store and bless it or does it have to be a certain kind of oil. Tell Grandma and Grandpa Gillies thanks a ton for the money. I didn't get the package yet, but i think i will next month. I finally did get Boston's letter and five letters from Grandpa and Grandma Gillies from July.  Thanks! Good to hear things are improving with Patty and that Lance is doing good. I here Santiago is huge so they probably have a lot to do. We hear a lot about Santiago because I have a Elder in my district from there. 

This week on the 18th is their Independence Day and they celebrate it the whole week. So a ton of our investigators are gone out in the field. It's going to be crazy this week, but hopefully good with our other investigators. The nine year old didn't come this week. It's super hard because he can't control going to church. He has to go with his parents and all that, but I think we will just push his baptism back. This week a gypsy lady came up and asked me for money. I said I didn't have any. Well first she told me I had beautiful eyes and asked where I was from. As soon as you say the U.S., they ask for money, But the things about my eyes, I am getting told that more and more. But the gypsy lady grabbed my companion's hand and said something so crazy.  We gave him a priesthood blessing after and everything is good. We are doing the insanity workout everyday. We can't watch the movies, but my companion has it written down. It stinks cause the food is so bad for you down here and you try to be healthy and you can't even tell. But it;s all good.  That's fun about the primary class and the Father's and Son's camping. I don't really have much other then that. Have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies 

P.S.  One more thing, I read in Alma. I learned a ton from 47 through 57. Thanks for everything. It talked a lot about moms and parents and then I related it to my patriarchal blessing. It was cool.
