WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTTT?

alex broke a leg? then got HIT BY A CAR?! ha ha ha i read that and almost died walking on the street, until i read the part that said "JOKE". whew! good to hear that he isn´t hurt too bad. but that still is such a bummer. hope you have a quick recovery lil bro!
ok, foist tings foist.....
HAPPY BIRFFFDAY SEFFF! how old is this kid now? like, 13??? like, WHAT??? ha ha ha. woaooow. que bakan po! you gotta sing happy birffday en español!
well, we had a pretty good week. just chugging along. we found 17 new investigators, and they are pretty legit! we had some cool experiences teaching in the street with some teens. i used to be so scared of approaching teens because i thought they would just laugh at us or not take anything seriously. but, in my mind, some of our best lessons were with people from 14 to 20 years old this past week! we have been trying to focus more on young kids or families lately. it has been awesome.
wanna know something legit? our sector las nieves is huge. so huge in fact, that it goes up into the mountains and touches argentina. LEGIT. (this is the part when you go, WHOA). we actually had lunch with an awesome member family a few days ago, and we had to take a colectivo up into the hills, and it was way cool. it had winding roads, people going around on horseback, small homes made of adobe with animals in the yard, big feilds and lots of green--just the way i pictured all of chile to be like. i wish i had a camera to take some pics! i am going to send pics from hermana butler´s camera.
so, we are doing just dandy. things are good and we are having a lot of fun together. sometimes when it gets cold and we are out knocking doors we just jump up and down or dance in the street to keep warm. it does a lot more than keep us warm, because we are always laughing and joking around. people see us out wandering around laughing and wonder what is so funny and we start talking to them. it is great! ha ha ha.
the elders had a baptism yesterday. it wasn´t planned very well, but the girl getting baptized was so stoked about it she didn´t care. it actually turned our really nice so we were all happy about that. (NOTE to self and Al, PLAN BAPTISM SERVICES OUT WELL. no calling on the sister missionaries at the very last minute to give a short talk and to sing a random hymn. nope nope nope, none of that. be on top of it!!!!) it was ok, i didn´t mind doing giving a talk and singing (we ended up having the four of us missionaries singing Teach Me to Walk together and it was ok), but i would just hope that if i was taking an important step like that in my life that those in charge would have high standards and reach high expectations.
hey, random thought, if i went to utah state, what do you think about my chances of living with jill when i start school would be? hope my application and everything goes through ok.
anyway, i have spent all my time talking about random stuff and i have to go. hope all the family is well and happy. i pray for you and think about you all daily!!!! stay cool and enjoy the ride, because it is short!!!!

Sam, you are always welcome to stay with us as long as you need! You can have the whole game room to yourself. A mini apartment. Unfortunately, you would have to share a bathroom with our teenagers.... I love you Samalam!
