A few Q&A's from Uruguay

I wrote and asked Ryan a few questions this past week and also about 3 weeks ago. Here are the questions with his answers......

Do you ride a bike, or how do you get around mostly?
I ride a bike and walk. We have some sweet bikes that are flyers and we get around quick.

Did your whole mission meet together for Christmas zone conference, or half
at a time, or how?
Whole mission at the same time...it was pretty killer

Does your church building have a baptismal font?
Yup :) We have a very nice chapel here in Trinidad. It isn’t too old either. Very classy

When you went to the temple, how many missionaries were there at the same
time? Did you listen in English or Spanish?
Still haven’t gone but it will be on the 20th and it will be in Spanish which will be awesome

Do they have eggnog in Uruguay, and if they do, have you had any? :)
Not in this neck of the woods they don’t :) I always just think of that priceless movie line in Home Alone when Marv says ¨American Airlines don’t fly to the promised land little buddy.¨ Not too much happenin down here with the Eggnog... (I don't really get this, can someone enlighten me?)

Do you know what kind of food is traditional for Christmas in Uruguay?
A beautifully cooked cordero (lamb)...Gaucho country :)

What is the policy for temple attendance in your mission?
If you are in Montevideo and are close, you can go...but being out in Rocha we can’t. If you’re close, you can do a zone activity. But with Argentina closed, the Argentines are coming over so its a little tough to make it, sadly.

Do you and Elder Fitzgerald mostly speak English together, or Spanish?
English in the house, Spanish in the streets. When we really need to communicate with each other we will speak in english, or if we have to get out of a lesson quick, and so forth :)

How are your shoes holding up? Which ones do you like the best?
Can I say all of them? and they are all holding up great. My hems of my pants have been coming out lately, thanks to the rain, but luckily I am a knifty knitter and can sew them back so it holds well.
