Our Humble abode.  Needing a weed wacker pretty badly. :)

 Work outs every morning, with my make-shift carpet for my pushups/situps. ;)

The UGLY zebra tile we have in my room

 Hermana Frietz and her companion, me and my companion, and another random hermana because mission rules are that if there is a photo with elders and hermanas, there have to be 5 people. ;)

 Bus ride to Church every Sunday.  This is a contracted bus by the church that makes two trips back and forth to pick up, then two trips to drop every one off.  We were 100 people in church yesterday!!!!  with 14 less active members!!!!!!!!!!!!  that was crazy.

This was our trup to San Jose, this is a classic Uruguayan bus station.

What a week.  Been working my tail off and it showed off yesterday in church!!!! :)  We had so much work to do yesterday, so many sheep to heard... We had 14 less active members, 10 of which hadn’t been to church in the last year, we had 4 investigators to teach and show around... helping them get to know the ward and introducing them to members, then to top it off, the bishop had to leave and we were in charge of getting everyone on the buss and back to their homes. :) What a beautiful fast and testimony meeting FULL of blessings.  I was truly blessed by the testimonies that were born... The most powerful one was when Hermano Pedro Corujo stood up and bore his testimony... He had done a lot of missionary work that week... Sitting in the pew with him was his non member wife, two less active kids, and his less active brother.  When Pedro stood up, he started by saying how grateful he was to see his wife at church, then talked about his kids, then when he got to the point about his brother being there with him, he broke into tears... that struck me as I could tell they have a relationship similar to the one I have with my own father.  Pedro testified how important it is to be baptized and to remain worthy.  Perfect for his wife and other family members.  

BTW.  I found out that I really like the look of cuff links... ha-ha. SO if you want to, that would be a great gift for your missionary son, a good looking tie with matching cuff links. :)  I have one but it is a white tie with blue lines, not very.... "Logan".  Ha-ha.  

Had a great interview with President Etchegeray this week, he interviewed my companion and I.  We are seeing some incredible progress with my companion and the same with ME!!!  haah.. Having to learn a lot about being Christ Like and not being so darn prideful.
