ooo, you hit 100 degrees, thats unfortunate. I think we hit 40! :) Its REALLY cold right now!!!!! This winter will be crazy Im so excited!!!!!!!
Congrats that dads coming home! Finally the miracle happened, thank goodness you'll have a bit of a break mom.
Yesterday was a baptism of a 90 yr old lady. I got to do it and when she came up out of the water she busted out laughing she was so happy! 25 investigators came to the baptismal service (and 7 members... blech sad)! Needless to say, the June harvest of souls will be sweet. It would be nice if the members did more though.
What did you have to do to get a business license? Will your store be all online? Are you buying and selling stuff, or only selling stuff you make, or how does it work? Sell artisan stuff from other people and you get a % profit...?
I have tons of people in Utah to look up, but I don't know when they'd be home or anything, so just be sure to visit all the family and say hi from me :)
The oil spill I bet has caused gas prices to spike! eesh! not to mention thats a lot of precious oil gone to waste to kill all the life in the gulf. Not that theres hardly anything left alive there anyways. Maybe this is a sign we need to invest in alternate fuels.
My address (por las dudas) is definitely


Elder Magnusson
Uruguay Montevideo West Mission
1167 Enrìque Martìnez
Montevideo, Uruguay
C.P. 11.600


I've gotten plenty of letters to that address already its all good. Definitely 11.600 NOT 11.800


Im glad you learned a lot from the Fall of Adam, theres a lot of simple gospel truths that noone thinks about because they've heard it a thousand times and don't bother to think about it. Even the prophet learns something new in the scriptures every day.
Sorry to hear about problems with Mexico, too! Holy cow, I guess we'll have to start entering Mexico illegally to go on vacation hahaha how funny would that be!
Also sorry to hear Obama is a bad Prez. Oh well, whats the worst that could happen, get destroyed in nuclear war? Pffh the second coming will happen first. Just make sure you don't complain about him openly, it's better if people are positive in EVERY situation for sure. Anarchy is still worse than tyranny.


Well, I know this gospel is true, I'm seeing it change hundreds of lives, including my own. I pray that I'll stay here in Salto the rest of my mission! I've been here 3 months longer than the other 3 elders here in Obelisco, so chances are Ill be the first to leave, but theres still hope :) We'll see what happens in a few weeks!
Love you all, keep smiling, working hard, and far out of your comfort zone. We're in the time where the world will never again settle. Just leave the people around you a little better off each day and all will turn out wonderful :)


Chaucito familia Magnusson (o como dicen los Uruguayos Magomsom). Les quiero mas que puedo expresar a todos. Sean fieles. Sean fuertes.
