Hey Yall,
Well, it´s the week of Cambios in here in our little mission down in Chile. Don´t worry, Elder May and I are staying together here in Camilo. We´re getting another Latino in the house to replace Elder Swenson, because he´s headed back to the US! Yay for ending missions! Elder Kamalu, my Trainer, is also going home. We´ll see what the both of them do once they´re back on American Soil. :)
The fun story for the week is about a referral we received. I should start off by saying that our area does not have a very set line for the edge. We are right in between two other sectors and the one just south of us is incredibly vague concerning where it ends. Anyway, we received a referral to a street about where the line is, so we decided to go exploring to find him. We walked all the way out to the hill, went up the hill and to the other side. It started pouring rain while we were walking, so we got thoroughly soaked. We found the street easily enough, but the number didn't exist. So, we started knocking doors. After coming out of one of the houses, we ran into the President´s daughter from the other Branch where the line is vague. She told us all about how dangerous it is in that part when it was dark and asked about what we were doing. In the end we found some nice people to pass over to the other missionaries in the area to the south. It was a fun experience. :)
With the rain that day, we were actually without power almost the entire day the next day. It was not good considering we have an electric shower. So, we showered with Cold Water.
This is going to be an exciting cambio, with 2 new missionaries out of the MTC in our Zone. We´re really excited because there are several people we´re going to baptize! Wahoo!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
