Man it's so nice being able to have good wholesome activites with others that share the same standards as we do. I looked back on this week as Chile is all preparing for their Independence day (or I should say-week!) There is so much sad stuff that I have seen. It's sad how many people I see down here, passed out in the middle of the side walk because of the influence of alcohol or just because they are super messed up. I have meditated a little bit on the subject and I have realized the huge influence, and blessings that we have through the gospel to have great values and standards that we can follow and have in our lives. This week that is coming up is going to be way fun with the 18th of September being the Independence Day for Chile. As each ward has activities all day that are wholesome and good, one can recognize that we are in the world but not of the world. We all share with each other true happiness, not something that only lasts but for a little while. As we all stay strong to the advice and commandments of our Father in Heaven we will all be happy.
Well, today we did some service, went to fly kites as a zone and then played some soccer. It was way fun but the wind kind of died so we ended up running the kites or walking them hahahah!
So I got a sweet hair cut that was just priceless (as you saw in the pics last week), but luckily my loving sister was thinking ahead when she sent me this sweet package!!! She sent me some of her hair (hahaha) to help me cover up what happened at the barber shop. Ahhh yeah we went "Big Ballen" this week with the sickest mullet and sweat band attached!!!!! When we showed up to play soccer Wednesday night everybody was laughing at my sweet new locks! Man, they were not laughing after I put up 10 goals on the score board though! It was the perfect combination-the Nike's on my feet representing Arizona with the Big Baller wings flapping! This whole story is not going to make all that much sense if you don't see the pics below. (I'm gonna leave that one up to my loving mother.)
Well the great thing about the gospel is we sometimes aren't that successful in everything but through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can start over time and time again. I love you all!
Love Forever and Always,
Elder Hancock
PS: Hey mom say HI to everyone for me please. Well I don't know if I missed some important information about 9 months ago or something but I DIDN'T even know Cheryl was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again...Please tell "Hi!" to the whole family, let them know I LOVE hearing from them even if it's a little something. Happy birthday to dad and Steven and I love you. Have a great week!
