I'm going to start out telling you that I can't send the pictures, because I forgot the memory reader thing in the house, and we are super rushed anyway. We had a zone activity where we went and played soccer and football and ultimate Frisbee in the offices, and we just got back, and my comp dropped his clothes off with a sister and asked her to wash them. I just decided I can wait until next Monday. But next week I should be able to send you the picture.
I know nothing of any deadly viruses, but I'm sure that they will let us know if we are going to die or anything, so don't worry. I've never heard any of those Spanish words before, but everyone here just calls kids chiflados when they cry a lot. It means spoiled here, but it comes from chiflar which means to whistle and can also be used to mean flirt. It is a pretty useful verb. Elder Quintero has 6 months just about in the mission. Just before I forget.
And I'm sure the missionaries were super glad to get that text message. I can imagine how happy I would be to get that text message. But something that the members here do sometimes is say that they sent a Facebook message to somebody, and then they think everything is done. But if the missionaries don't respond or anything, you should talk to them again, so that they use your help. Because working with members is harder, so sometimes missionaries don't want to do it, but it is the best for everybody. You guys, the missionaries, and most of all the people you are teaching.
And thank you for the elder Holland quote. (Here is the quote that I sent to him: "Seek to be personally converted, obey the rules of the mission, strive to have the Spirit of the Lord in your life, and work hard. These are things every missionary can do. If you do those things, I promise you in the name of the Lord and with the authority of my office, you are a success in His eyes." Elder Jeffrey R. Holland.) It is a cool quote, and guess what? Elder Dallin H Oaks is going to come and talk to us the 15 of Feb. so you just look forward to how awesome that week's letter is going to be. But I am out of time now. I love you and will write to you all more next Monday. Just a few short days away!!
