World Cup

Today for P-day Jaydan played football and soccer. Jaydan was the goalie and felt good about his playing. After playing the missionaries went and got huge sandwiches and then went to the zoo. The zoo was small and not very great.

For the 4th of July Jaydan got the idea to sleep on the roof so they could look at the stars while they prepared for sleep and also so they could have the breeze. So they went up there and swept it off and threw their mattresses up there and got their blankets and everything and they slept up there ... on the roof. Jaydan said it was so "freaking cool and nice up there" and since it was so great more Elders are going to spend the night up there with them tonight. Party!! They promised to have lights out by 10:30 and to be in bed by that time too. (trying to keep the rules)
Yesterday on Sunday Jaydan and his comp went to pick a family up to make sure they make it to church but when they got to their house they weren't there. The dad was the only one home amd while they were trying to get him to come to church with them a little dog came up to Jaydan and started having his way with Jaydan's leg. That did not go over well with Jaydan and he kicked the dog pretty far. The dad didn't seem to care though. Jaydan said it is crazy there (as most missions are)...women whipping their stuff out in front of anyone and now crazy dogs.

Jaydan had to bear his testimony and introduce himself since he is new to the area and they didn't have him do it last week. When he stood up to do it his mind just went blank and didn't come to him until he sat back down. In class his comp had him bear his testimony at the end of the class and Jaydan felt much better about that. He felt like others were listening and he could feel the spirit. He said "I can't really explain it but it was good."

The week went by super fast. Every day ended before Jaydan even knew it. It's suppose to be Winter there now but it's hot and humid still. Everyone is sweating really bad.

Jaydan was able to watch the Uruguay~Ghana game that Uruguay won. Jaydan got a jersey of the guy who scored the winning goal. The game went into 2 extra times and ended in a shootout. Jaydan said it was so intense the whole time and all of Uruguay went crazy when they won. Jaydan said "honestly I can't describe it because there is nothing like it or even close to it the the US." So now the semi's for the world cup is Uruguay vs Holland and Spain vs Germany.

Jaydan is still having a hard time of understanding much of anything and it is hard. He goes blank when he goes to talk but when he stops his head fills with ideas of what he should have said.
