Arise from the dust, my sons, and be men: ICE!!!!! AS IN PENGUINES AS IN IGLUES AS IN ICE!!!!!!

I would love that if someone got that quote. Can I just say FANTASTIC MOVIES!!!!!!:D

Bwahhahahaahha so highlight of the week=

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!:D

For it came to pass that it was a fantastic day. I was able to enjoy a wonderful service of church, talk to my family on skype!!!!!!!!, and bring the sacrament to a fantastic old (93 years old) lady who is pretty much the missionary mom here (man I love her. Im not quite sure what her real name is, but we all call her chacita, and she is pretty much the kindest, most loving old lady youll ever meet).

Haha so some things I learned during the skype call with my family. Apparently I have to work on my spelling in these letters. I guess I forgot in one of my last ones that the word house is not spelt hows...... yeah.

Really cool thing though. so brittany got home this past week!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU BRITTANY:D anyways. the last baptism she had in brasil is moving to a place called chuy. Chuy just so happens to be in my zone. when I told her that, she got super uber excited. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHANCE. I dont know how he does it, but god really can bring forth many mighty works at the same time, so perfectly that everything works out. It absolutely blows my mind. All one has to have is faith and let christ take the reigns and man..... "there can be miracles, if we believe....." (#princeofegypt).

Oh yah, I almost forgot to address the title of this letter. IT IS COLD HERE!!!!! well some of the days. Right now its fine, but man. this week there have been many nights where I have slept in my underarmor pants and shirt, along with wool socks and hat, and a sweater. Yeah, as it turns out, It is the same temperature in side here as it is outside. Lets just say that I am super grateful for the gas portable heater we have in the house. The only thing is we cant leave it on too long, or..... yeah thats dangerous.

OH yeah!!!!! CAMBIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elder Sims has left our little town of varela, for the big city of Montevideo. haha Im going to miss that guy, he was a really good friend.

MY NEW COMP IS ELDER CHOQUE!!!!!!!!:D He's a super nice peruvian who is also my district leader (haha all of my comps except elder sims have been district leaders)

So I dont have a ton of time left, but I will say that I have had some really cool experiences these past few days that can either be seen as tender mercies or miracles. Really the two kind of mix. On top of this, I can totally testify that ether 12:27 is true. I am becoming so much better at being a missionary. It has been great. Anyways, I love yall a ton and pray that you all can really feel the spirit and see the tender mercies of the lord in your lives this week.

Lots of love,

Elder Eliason
