Yeah, Pictures!

Elder Thomson ripping up Peru!

Dear Family

     Hey! I am working to attach some pictures. I have 2 DVD´s coming home with almost all my picture minus like 8,  so I will see if these computers can handle a few.   All is well here.   My companion, Elder Samame' speaks all Spanish and can more or less read English. He knows lots of words but can´t quite talk.   He sounds a touch like a dictionary, but I understand.

    So, this week has been good.   I did end up getting one of the packages.  There were some changes in the office this last transfer and also the office was reorganized so lots of stuff got lost (I have been telling mom for years that stuff gets lost when my room is cleaned and reorganized but she never believed me).   So, I got one package and there is for sure one more in the office that I  saw a while back.   It's possible it's the one from Ken and Grandma.   I also discovered this week that Korean superglue can be used to repair the leather on a football.  That was good to know.   I also learned I can glue 2 fingers together with said glue.   It's strong stuff.   I would rivel it to Gorrilla glue except it lacks endurance.   It only lasts for a few weeks where as I had something gorrilla glued for almost 2 years in the basement!  

    I found a sister here in the other ward that lives in PG.  She spoke with Matt a while back and has the address of the house so I am sending home a package with her.   It has more pictures, also, a little Peruvian cookie.  It should be good for around 10 years so I hope it makes it home... (If opened it will only last for a week or so.)

     Cookies were good.   All the Latinos liked them. I was afraid to eat the first one knowing that they had been in there for a while, so I shared one of the packages with all the missionaries in my Zone. They all looked okay afterward so I kept the other package... thanks.   And yes, you found the right Graciela.   She was rather confused with who Nathan was, but she accepted and asked me about it.  Haha and yeah, I explained,  but it was funny.  She told me we were friends on facebook right after I finished telling my companion how important it was to follow all the rules in the handbook!   Then, she told me she accepted me as a friend on Facebook.    haha oh well!

     So, not a whole ton of new stories. I did see conference in English - all 5 sessions of it.  I was with 4 other missionaries to watch it in our zone, one Latin elder from Nicaragua named Elder Nicaragua, also Elder Seitz, Elder Martin and Elder Callis and a couple sister missionaries.  That was cool. Elder Seitz´ is going to be heading back to Utah at the end of these transfers. Well, I need to go. Take care. Tell the family I love them and thanks for the birthday wishes. I will write again next Monday.
