I wanna be the very best - Catamarca

Hey. It's me.

I

This week was extraordinary, as all weeks here are, which I guess makes extraordinary just ordinary. Hm. ANYWAYS some things about Argentina so you can picture it better are that there are dogs absolutely everywhere, most of them are ugly. Also if you don't know what mate is, its basically boiling barn juice, but it's actually pretty good once you have enough of it. Everything is pretty dirty, but thats ok, you just gotta accept it. On Sunday a little kid yelled at me and siad "Go back to your city, Yankee!" but I'm sure he was just messing around.

Halloween is tomorrow, everyone send me pictures of your costumes and I'll judge whose is the best.

So here's by spiritual thought/video game reference for the week, and it wont make complete sense to everyone, but its a lot better than the Elebits analogy I was going to use. So basically, life is like playing Painkiller by Judas Priest on Expert Mode Guitar on Rockband 2. Every note that comes is a choice you have to make in life. Sometimes, it feels like you have a hold on things, but other times, it's a guitar solo and you make a lot of mistakes. Overall, it's really tough, and after a lot of mistakes, you'll end up failing. HOWEVER. The Savior is like our bandmate that never misses any notes, he makes the right choice always. As you hit notes correctly, you build up "Overdrive" to help you in the song, so the Savior always has his Overdrive saved up. But, he doesn't use the Overdrive on himself to get more points, he uses it on you when you fail out of the song so you can keep playing like you never made any mistake. And at the end of the song, the scoreboard will say that you have 100%, because the Savior helped you get there. The Savior is always there ready to forgive and help us with our difficulties and temptations and sins, we just need to let him join our band and rely and trust in him and his power.

Hope that wasn't too much of a stretch, but I just had that thought earlier this week. I love and miss you guys, and I'll see you soon!
