I ain't a player hater, but I hate to see a player die.

Holy cow! What are you talking about "nothing's going on"? I can't believe you are going to Disneyland! Adam in California, Grandpa and Grandma in Zions, and Matthew in China and Moscow! That is something! Yeah, that's cool. Hey, that would be cool if you sent me some stuff from Cody's blog. I'm sending you my taxes back, and my micro sd card in the same place you put it, this week, so you should be getting it in 3-5 weeks umm.... What happened this week?... Well, last Monday after I wrote you, my comp and I went to this shop where you can print out any sticker you want, any size and any color. They just edit it for you on photo shop, and then it's printed off and cut out with a laser -pretty cool- I bought a K2 sticker, but while we were waiting, this guy came up to us and was like "hey do you guys like to sing?" me - YES. "Well, could you help me out with the pronunciation of some songs really quick?" YES! O.K. So we went in this sticker shop (all the stores are barred shut by the way) and went up- stairs to the sweetest Karaoke music studio set up ever. This guy is a singer named Rigo or something, but he just had us sing this one song, and he was like, "O. K., here's my computer and here are the other songs I have lyrics for. Shoot immediately I saw Ace of Base - The Sign, best thing that has happened to me (other than bringing people unto Christ)! My comp picked a song by Aqua.... I'd rather not say... Nervana, Smells Like Teen Spirit. We tried to sing Hey Jude (Beatles), but it was in Spanish so it was super weird, and the last song sang was Beat It-Michael Jackson cool. So that was cool..um there was a crazy hail storm here and we almost died cause the hail was like NO JOKE marble sized, but it only lasted for like 20 minutes.... I'm trying to teach this guy named Victor, but it's hard 'cause he thinks he's already a member of the church, and he never comes to church, his wife can't walk, he lies, smokes and drinks. He's just insane, and I'll just say anything to him without shame 'cause he'll probably forget it two minutes later. He told us he quit smoking and then, like 4 hours later, we saw him smoking again. So on Friday, I just took his pack of cigarettes from him, asked him how many times he smokes a day (he said four), and I told him O. K. this week you can only smoke two times a day, and I'm writing on each cigarette which day you can smoke them. That's what I did, but we'll see what happens. There is this super cool guy that my comp and I contacted the other day. He like let us into his house and showed us his sweet music studio. His name is Douglas Flores and he's a music producer/artist. He's a super young evangelica singer guy so we probably won't be able to convert him at all cause he pretty much is the Church, but this guy produces like a ton of music (from Guatemala and the US). He showed me some sweet Jesus hip-hop (Josh Macosh - Life) and he tried to get me to call you 'cause he has a thumb drive that you plug into your computer and you can call anywhere in the states for free... but I told him I couldn't. Anyways, we had our baptism on Saturday, and our guy didn't know how to take the water so he tried to dive over the guy's arm that was performing the baptism and it wasn't smooth at all. Um, I met this super cool kid named Anderson, and he wanted a Bible from us, but I told him the Book of Mormon was better and he took it and started reading it in the street for like 5 minutes. I asked him if he wanted to go to church with us and he did, so we took him and his mom let us, and then we took him to eat lunch with a family after church so we might be able to baptize him. I met a kid with a really cool puppy named Rocky...We had change conference today and my new comp is from Peru. His last name is Primo (which means cousin), and he's really cool. I don't really know that much about him.. he likes to cook, he has really cool music (like Iron and Wine), soccer, volleyball. Um, he speaks a little bit of q'quechi 'cause he was in Cobon for a long time... and he's been here for a year. Das wuz up. RN HWRD
