Matt's email 6/14/10

It is way cold here all the time. I wake up freezing, I study freezing, I go to bed freezing. It is pretty ridiculous. The only thing I do not freezing is eat a huge lunch. It is hotter than a furnace in all the member´s houses. It is seriously something else. I get all bundled up in the morning and when I get to their house for lunch I have to undress or else I just wouldn´t make it. We still eat a huge meal everyday and it is really taking a toll on the body. I don´t think walking all day does anything for exercise. Oh well, if I were here for a weight loss program then I would be doing a lot of things differently right? The people here are still really hard. Just stuck in their old Catholic ways, claiming belief in the Bible even though they haven´t opened it once. It is just ridiculous. But Alejandro told us that he wanted to wait until next week to get baptized so we are waiting for that. Other than that everything is pretty slow. Today was a way sweet day. We played soccer for hours and I had a little bit of Messi come out. It was pretty legit until I ripped my new kicks. I was way upset but it´s all good. We just ball out on a concrete court outside the church. It is pretty barbaric but it gets the job done. I would definitely put Cam in his place. Anyways that is about all I got. Oh we got permission to watch the Argentina Nigeria game and that was way cool. Soccer is life around this place. All the little kids just rock their jerseys all day and kick the ball around and everyone just has a great old time.  
Love
Elder Burr
