AJ's email 11/14/11 (Look at me...right on time)

alright this week went by way to fast. i literally feel like i was just sitting here at the computer writing and it was a week ago. just a little thing i forgot to include in my letter last week. pday last week we played basketball (elder leavitt and i) in parque o´higgins while we were there. and we played against these kids that were playing. 3 on 3 and for some reason they put us on the same team. but that was just a mistake cuz we ended up destroying them 40-17. and it wasnt even that close. we just got tired at the end and started giving them baskets cuz we felt bad. but it was really fun playing again against other people. i cant wait til the christmas party with all the missionaries cuz then i can play against better people. i heard that in the party last year, these two elders had a dunk contest and the one that won had a between the legs dunk. so im excited to be able to play against them.

       most of the week was pretty normal. we didnt do a whole lot that was anything worth writing. maybe the only thing is that yesterday we had another baptismal interview for a 9 year old who is going to get baptized saturday. but after what we went through with the last one, it just doesnt seem as interesting lol but its still good that we are gonna have another baptism. 

     the only other thing we did different this week is that friday night we saw a little of the chile uruguay soccer game cuz there was no one to visit and so we went to a members house and they were watching the game. and from what i saw, chile played terrible. partly cuz 4 of their best players didnt play but still. they lost 4-0. if any of you really care lol

     and then like 3 nights this week we got done with everything at like 930 so we went by the church and it was still open from the youth being there. and so we played ping pong against some of the youth in the ward. and i found out that i have to really work on playing ping pong cuz everyone here is really good. this one kid in the ward just destroyed me. but it was really fun. other than that, it was just same old stuff. our numbers for the week were pretty decent which means that somehow we stayed busy during the week but it really didnt feel like it. it just shows that time goes by fast when you are busy.

       the pictures that im including are of a cigarette box that i had to take away from one of our investigators this week. not exactly the most spiritual thing but i thought that its funny what they put on the cover of the box. and the funnier part is that people still smoke it. but whatever 

       i  hope that everyone is doing good. take care and have a good week.

Originally I included both pictures, but changed my mind and edited one out. You still get the idea without the picture on the other side of the box...what's a mom to do???
