Sounds like the life to me. It really is work work work here in the mission. Up at 6 30 and working until 9 and then just a little bit of wind down time and time for bed. One thing that I wish I had more time for is studying. Now that I~m really studying the scriptures I can~t get enough. I~m almost done with the Book of Mormon. I finished Jesus the Christ, Our Heritage, Our Search For Happiness, and I~m halfway through the New Testament, True to the Faith and D&C. Also I do study by topic every now and then. And I~m ready O Livro de Mormon, also. It~s all soo much, but it~s great. I read with pretty much every spare second.
As far as not being home for Christmas, someone told me a quote or saying that I really like about missionaries, "We leave our families for two years, so that other families can be together for eternity" It~s really helped my persepective on the mission. I think this email should make it to the blog as well.
Pujols an Angel? That just seems wrong. I~m sure the Mariners are super excited about that. They need to get someone like Prince Fielder now. And like 10 other players.....
When people ask me who my favorite basketball player is I say Chris Paul. I just think he is the most fun to watch. I don~t know if I like him going to the Lakers. I think he is supposed to be in New York with Stoudarmaire and Melo. But whatever. The Lakers should dump Gasol after these last playoffs. Dwight Howard would be a major upgrade I think. And he could be their new superstar while Kobe kind of goes away.
So Tebow is just a winner. Isn~t that what people always said about him? He just wins? Ha. That~s interesting. Obviously I don~t really know but it just sounds like there is no answer for the Packers. Is Tom Brady still putting up ridiculous numbers. I heard that the beginning of the season was nuts for him? Too bad about Manning. He was always one of my favorites. He was really good and just seemed like a cool guy. Too bad. I hope he gets better.
So there is a tournament called the Mundial (It~s the world cup of soccer teams, I don~t remember the name in English) and Santos is in it. Everyone here is pretty excited for it. There will only be two rounds I think. But on those days, I~m relatively sure we won~t get ANY work done. Everything shuts down for soccer games like that. It~s nuts. We don~t really have the same type of devotion to one sport like they do here. Every single person has a team. From 80 year old women to 2 year old children. They are all invested in it. It~s kind of fun. I~ve deemed my self a Santista (Santos fan) since it was my first area. This is the home town of Pelé who is the King here. It~s pretty cool.
Well that~s all. Keep me updated. Happy Birthday.
