Dah! The baby! I remember when Dave sent me the picture of the...the...sonograph? Sonogram? The thing where you see inside the womb. My english is failing me. Count me in for next golf tournament (if I´m anywhere near there and not crazy busy). Miley Cyrus as a judge????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Gah!! What is the world coming to?!?!?! She cant even sing super well. Not like any of the the other super stars we´ve had. Alicia is pretty good, but Hannah montana? Really? Thats really awesome about Chiara though. What an amazing experience.
Elections. Sigh. Im not sure I even want to know. Can Christ just come now? I was just reading yesterday in the teachings of Joseph F Smith about he prayed for the end of the world and described how awesome it would be etc. Nothing really big this week unfortunately, just 9 people in church and 28 new investigators. Typical Frogley, blessed missionary work.
Love you Dad! Thanks for being such an amazing example in my life and teaching me how to work and love a spouse respect people and help and shave and all that good stuff. (yes that was quite a horrid run on sentence. Oh well. ;))

Not like a hurricane. For all of you that let loose a little cry of terror upon hearing of Hurricane Matthew, your prayers were answered, and nothing happened. Thats right, just enough rain to partially destroy my second pair of shoes. Woot.
Thank you Elder Frogley for that weather report, now in recent news...
nothing much really. Well, aside from finding a whole bunch of little kids who can get baptized in the white night, but aside from that...
First off, I hate contacting, or tracting as you might say. Its very inefficient. However, it does give the Lord chances to bring the prepared people to us and visa versa. So here we go, shouting doors and handin out pamphlets close to our house. We shout in one door and this teenage girl comes out dressed a little less than modest (here thats called a chapeadora) . She instantly invited us in, but we very politley refused and offered to come back another day when her parents were home and we could bring a member with us. She agreed and we left, rather hurriedly. We went back with Hmno ["Hermano", or Brother] Collado with truly low hopes. We shouted in the door and met the young girls mom. We entered and sat ourselves down to wait. Out comes the teenage Chapeadora, dressed worst than before. We told here that we´d like to share with the whole family if possible and she agreed. She called her parents and little brothers in and they all sat down and we shared the restoration. What we thought was going to be a waste of time turned out to be a really great lesson! The all accepted to be baptized, but don´t yet have a baptismal date.
Other contact we did was this reeeeeally fat kid named David william, well, at least his family. He wasn´t there. As we walked down their street, the dad randomly started calling us over. "Elder! Elder! Finally, You guys havent been here in forever!"
A little perplexed my comp and I approached and met the dad and his 8 year old son. Apparently, David William, who wasnt there, had been taught by missionaries before, who then got transfered and David was lost in the transition. He´s been to church quite a few times and had actually met the missionaries again when he was out visiting his grandman in another city, one of which was my step dad, Elder maatatia. Small world. When we went back a different day to meet David, he was all ready to go, pamphlet in hand. Now he´s getting baptized on the 22nd. His parents are down even if his Mom is super Catholic.
Also, Ruth´s mom went to church and said she really liked it. Last night we went to visit our first councilor because we literally had nothing to do and he gave us a reference of an old investigator named Francisco. He´d dropped the missionaries because he wasn´t ready to make changes in his life. Then he almost died from some weird disease, infection thing in his leg and has decided to put God first.
Etc. Etc.
Lots of kids and a few adults and a family. The Lord Does his work ladies and gentlemen. we´re counting down to the white night and are all very excited.
Also, for those of you who this would interest, Quincy Berry just left for her mission in Spain! and I saw Alec from MC in the Missionary choir during the Saturday session! Pretty cool beans!
Appreciate you prayers and support! Love you all!
