Week 71 - Retiro

Tanner didn't send a letter today.  We did get to talk to him.  He is doing well.  He stayed in the same area, the Congreso Zone in the Retiro Branch (the slums, Villa 31).    He got a new companion.  His name is Elder Armstrong.  He is from Highland UT.  He has been in the mission just a month shorter than Tanner.  He has been a member all his life.  He has an older sister who is married and has a daughter that he has never met and a younger 16 year old brother.  He says that he liked being on student council and to go skiing.  He is going to go to BYU after the mission.

They were supposed to have Abigail's baptism on Saturday, but she called 2 hours before she was supposed to be baptized and said that she wasn't ready.  They had a zone conference with 5 zones this week at a stake center in the city.  The 5 zones are all zones that are located in the city.  The other 4 zones are the country zones and they had zone conference another day.

We talked a lot about basketball.  Since they fired the head coach at Idaho, he's trying to figure out what he wants to do.  UVU and BYU are both showing some interest in him.  It's going to be fun to try and do the recruiting process with him on a mission.  We will keep you updated.  It's hard to tell what Tanner thinks about it all.  He just kept saying, "It's a lot to think about".

He's down to less than 7 months, but who's counting.  Oh wait, I am!!
