Double Whammy! 2/6/12

Dear Family and Friends,
Thanks for all the birthday wishes this week and all the love. Today was a fun pday. All the missionaries in the entire mission went to east park, where they had some sort of olypics or latin games in 2003. There was basketball and football, but I decided to try my hand at soccer. It was a little embarassing, but still fun. I really enjoyed it and would like to play and learn a lot more. The funny thing about the park is it looks like it´s post apocalyptic because nobody has taken care of it in the last 9 years, other than mowing the grass occasionally on the soccer field. It´s like a scene from jurassic park or something.
In other news, Larissa, not clarissa, is getting baptized this Saturday. we were going to baptize her little brother too, but i guess his grandmother is against it because he is rowdy or something. She wants us to spend more time with him first, which is perfectly fine. I´ve got high hopes for Yeimi and Rosana this transfer. They are both so close, and our visits with each of them are are always super intense, trying to listen to the spirit and figure out the things that they aren´t always telling.
It´s been a rough week. I´m technically jr companion, but the Elder I´m with doesn´t know the area. So I have to do all the planning, make most of the decisions, and listen a lot harder to the people because I know their background better and stuff like that. It´s been very interesting, and I´m stretching a lot. That´s all for this week. Hope everyone is well.
Love
Elder Nichols
