Un poco mas cómodo

Aloooooooooha! Well, there goes another week.  So, here´s a fun fact.  We as a zone play fútbol every week, usually gringos against latinos.  The latinos usually barely beat us by one point, but we finally won with a 3 point lead! So ya, there´s that.  Also, i bought an original jersey of Argentina, which flippin´rocks! I haven´t had a conversation in English for weeks, so i´m going insane a little bit, but that´s ok! I´m to the point where, obviously i´m not fluent, but i can hold a conversation in Spanish for a little bit.  It´s just hard, since there´s, you know, a whole language of words that i need to know! But, I can function here, so that´s good.  I´m used to the swing of things here, so life´s a bit smoother.

As I've said before, the people here are super humble and awesome.  One of the people in our ward, Hermano Cruz, he´s having trouble with one of his legs right now (He can´t move it well, because it´s stiff and painful).  He uses an old shopping cart to get around when he goes to the store.  Elder Cedeño and I ran into him on our way to an appointment, trudging along with his cart.  We helped him back to his house, and he informed us that he´d left for the store at around 12 (It was then 4 or so).  Holy cow! 

Well, there´s no doubt in my mind of the truth of this Gospel.  Through our fasting and praying, we have been blessed to see miracles.  The Lord hardly ever works in the way we think he will! This Sunday, I was thinking that we were going to maybe have some random people arrive at the church or something like that, but instead, we were blessed with the opportunity to teach lessons to the friends of church members, which lessons were not planned for.  There´s just things like that, where we´re blessed with opportunities to share the gospel to people who are ready to hear it.  

Como siempre, yo realmente se que esta es la iglesia de Jesucristo, la cual ha sido restaurado a la iglesia por medio de un profeta de Dios.  Esta es un gran oportunidad que tenemos aquí, a compartir a verdad.  Hay oposición constantemente, pero sabemos porque estamos aquí. y sabemos que esta verdad puede bendecir vidas- sí, cada persona puede encontrar mas gozo y consuelo a través de estas cosas.  Yo quiero compartir este testimonio en el sagrado nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.

As always, I really think this is the church of Jesus Christ, which has been restored to the church through a prophet of God. This is a great opportunity we have here, to share truth. There is opposition constantly, but we know why we are here. and we know that this truth can bless lives-yes, everyone can find more joy and comfort through these things. I want to share this testimony in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

As for the title of the e-mail: Un poco mas cómodo - means "A little more comfortable"

Today, we went to a pizza place, all you can eat.  I had 15 pieces, but i think I could have downed a couple more... we played soccer after, and a couple of people threw up!

 Tally marks are for numbers of pieces of pizza eaten!
