I OWN Google Earth...

Hey everybody 

Well Hows it going... this week was just about the same as anyother week but i guess since the last time i wrote you two major things happened, 

Vicky and Eduardo got married and then Vicky got baptized... it went really well... there were alot of people and they really enjoyed it... we were talking to them and they wanted to know if elder brasher and i were going to be here  when they go through the temple... we looked at each other and smiled and said of course we would be here... by one month hahaha...
this last sunday they went somewhere in the south  mission to visit family so this sunday she will get confirmed...

Also on sunday we had the baptism of alicia and then right after we had the confirmation... we were not sure if she was even going to show up because the member that had usually brought here said she wouldnt be able to come... but another member saved the day for us and brought here to church... the problem is she cant see really well and so she cant tell what bus is coming untill its 5 feet in front of her and by that time its to late to flag it down...

So as a mission we came so close to our goal of 100 baptisms we got 95 this month... and i was looking at all of the numbers and we had 5-6 baptisms that didnt get confirmed on sunday so they dont count untill the next week... bummer... but we should be having alot of baptisms this saturday about 30 which will be the highest for a long time

oh and for the baptismal font for some reason the Water was a nasty green so we went to the store and bought some blue food coloring to try to make it blue´er 
but didnt really turn out hahaha

so part of my job is to pass references inside the mission... and so i was just kind of wondering how i could make my job easier for my kid... (my replacement)
and one thing i found was that it is hard to know what area someone lives in inside our mission especially with the crazy directions paraguay has and some of the missionaries dont really think hahahaa jk... 

i started looking on my computer and found google earth was downloaded a while ago but someone deleted it so i down loaded it and saw that it had areas lined out in red but that they were from like 10 years ago or something crazy old like that... i started playing around with it and about a week later and alot of miticulous drawing made new maps on google earth... 

Now i can get a reference type it into google and it will show me what area its in hahahaha nice

so i sent you some of the pictures of the google earth maps i made 

and some of the fotos from the baptisms 

Well everything is going great here 

Oh today we went to the Gym with elder Gallacher and Mejia from and area called Trinidad... The Bronx of Paraguay... im actually starting to like working out now haha we might get a membership to go there since i will be here till the 2nd of... JANUARY aaaahhhhh... hahaha...the gym is so sketchy but way worth it we were the only ones there at 6-7 so it wasnt to bad i will have to take pictures next time...
mom if you could send me some protien powder or something like that so i take in more protien that would be great i dont really trust any of the paraguayan stuff they try to sell us while were stoped at a red light hahaha...

Well until next time....

Love Elder Dayley
