> Hola everyone!
> Whoa, the swine flu made it to the mtc in Provo?¿?¿? I heard a little bit about that whole swine flu thing while I was in the MTC in Argentina, but really I know absolutely nothing about what´s going on in the world right now…. Except that there is a swine flue that is going around the states. I don´t care too much about world news right now, but I do care about family news. How are all of you? I didn´t get any e-mails this week except the one from Isaac. :(
> Alright, so this week was pretty good. A couple in the branch here got married and me and my companion did a musical number for them at the reception because they requested it. It seems a little odd to me that the song they requested was “How Great Thou Art”, but that´s what they wanted. It was really hard not to laugh while I was playing the song because both me and my companion thought it was a little odd that this was the song they wanted played at the wedding reception. It was even better when everybody joined in on the last verse (and even better still when they wanted an encore). People here are so funny when it comes to choosing songs. They don´t care if the song really fits the occasion or not. For instance, at the baptism we had a few weeks ago, they chose as the special musical number “God be with you till we meet again” (which my companion sang on that occasion also).

> I like most of the food here, but I am not too fond of all the oil they use in it. People here are convinced that oil is healthy for you and drench all their food in it. Ah well, at least it tastes okay. I´m a little sad that they don´t have much cereal here, but that´s my only complaint.

> I had another experience with barn animals inside someones house this week. We had just taught a young family a lesson (and I was busy trying to understand what the kids were telling me) when all the sudden I turn around and see a horse. Yes, a horse was standing in the house right behind where I was sitting. I was very startled at this at first, but the man of the home explained to me and my companion in a very “matter of factly” way that they kept the horse in the back room with the pigs at night so it wouldn´t get stolen. :) I love the people here!

> Anyway, I need to get going now so we can do other fun p-day things (like attempt to wash a few things in a bucket and hope it gets a little dry on this humid, cold day. Unlikely, but we´ll try)
