The world cup is full swing here!

 June 21, 2010

The world cup is in full swing here!!! And everybody is watching all of the
games and everybody is talking about so i keep up to date with all of the
games. I was kind of bummed that i was going to be on the mission during
the world cup but now its fine because i still know what's going an with all
of the standings and stuff.
So i saw the pictures from the youth conference sounds like you guys had
a real hoot! Ha-ha. The picture of the tree of life was pretty cool. Those
kinds of opportunities where you can get together like that and just have a
good time and learn about the gospel at the same time are always the best
experiences. Here in the mission we always try to make every day fun. And
while preaching the gospel it really makes for a once and a life time
experience. I really am grateful for the opportunity that i have to be here
and serve the people. It was a little frustrating for me when i got here en el
campo outside of the city. The people here are a lot more humble but the
thing is here they are only humble because they choose to be. That's what
the tradition is here live in humble circumstances and that's all they think
they deserve. But teaching the gospel here really helps these people to find
out how they can better their lives and the lives of their families through our
savior Jesus Christ. It has really helped me to have more charity and see
these people as heavenly father sees them. Love you guys and keep up
the good work back there!

Love,

Elder Bever

P.S. I contacted a guy in English. He was getting on the bus when we were
coming back from Cara Sucia. He was this husky white guy with sandals
and a huge backpack that just screamed Granola. We talked to him and he
was from Finland but he could speak almost perfect English and he is
backpacking from Cancun Mexico to Brazil. It was a pretty funny
experience I'm not going to lie.
