Vote on our ties

Me & my companion Elder Tondevold from Murray, UT
play a game with people. We ask them to vote on whose tie they like the most.
So...who's tie do you like the most??

The first family I met in Limari. They are moving up north to work.
Christmas lights in the down town plaza of Ovalle
A little country town of Punitaqui, 30 min. from Ovalle

Well hello everyone. Things are going well down here in Ovalle. Just when you think it cant get any hotter, we get a nice little overcast day. It is wonderful but I am sure the clouds will go away before too long. So this past Saturday night the 4 elders in our pension(apartment) invited a bunch of the member young men and their friends to play some basketball. It was way fun and i can now dunk it with a mini ball. it was funny to see how they play. it is like unorganized churchball from the states. I am pretty sore today though still.
Earlier this week I went on intercambios (exchanges) to a small town about 30 minutes east of Ovalle. It is called Punitaqui. It was way hot there and kind of a little country town. Not much out there but it was fun.
We are still practicing Christmas songs for our mission conference this Thursday as well as to sing in the town plaza this Friday with members of the church. It should be fun. Yesterday at the practice with all the members the person who plays the piano for that never showed up so i had to play. I didnt know a couple of the songs but I winged it through them alright...
Well hope all is going well with everyone! Love you all and thanks for everything! Take care!
Con Amor, Elder Nelson
