Independence Day on September 18th

Sorry I will send you some pictures after this activity. The activity is next week. Then the pictures would be a lot better then anything around here. So I will get you pictures the week after. 

I have been trying to get movies and books and stuff for my investigators because the movies they have on the gospel things are way cool and powerful.

I talked to this guy and he said crazy stuff was happening in the states and especially in Utah. What's going on or is there anything? Who is Utah's quarterback this year? 

Mom, go to Mormon Messages when you have time and look up a video that is Para Todos Los Madres. It's like for all the mothers. See if you can find it. It is pretty cool.

With Independence Day on the18th, we ate a ton of meat. It was good and the best lunches we had around here.  No we weren't on lock down. We were out tracking people, but no one was in town. It was a ghost town. Everyone goes up in the field and parties and all that for like three or four days. Now it's over and it things should be back to normal. It messed up all our baptism dates. Transfers are coming up in a few weeks. I need my companion and I to stay at least for one more transfer to see if we could get six or seven baptisms. The investigators all have to come to church which is super hard to get them to come. This week we went to a baptism of the other elders. The kid is 12 and way cool. Then we played soccer on the 18th and the Chilean people try to stack their teams. It was funny. We had a 12 year old, two gringos and an older guy, and we won the game which we should have got killed. So that's what they get for trying to cheat. It's hard playing soccer with then because they whine and cheat and its stupid. It's just a lot more fun to watch, then it is to play. We did companion exchanges. The one elder that I was with is lazy and didn't do anything. Then we had our district leader give us this big speech on all this stuff which just made us feel worse. He needs to relax He has made me upset.  Last night he told us to look up a scripture about being slothful because none of our investigators showed up for church.  I was upsetting because we went to every one's house, woke them up and everything. We did all that we could and then he calls us slothful. Whatever. Other then that, not much has really happened. Have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
