Did NOT kill the dog, mobs

OK first off the dog was a stray and I didn't kill it. I didn't even throw the rock. I'm sorry for the confusion. Thank you so much for the package and pics. I can not believe how big the girls are getting! Shoot they have grown so much in four months, I cant imagine what 2 years is gunna do to them. And Miss Jackie! Holy cow! I seriously didn't recognize you without those braces and your hair dyed. ... stay away from those boys. Thanksgiving looked like freaking so much fun ahhh. Tell Dan it looks like hes losing weight.OK now for this past week, it had its ups and its downs. A few more downs than ups but it was still good. OK well last Monday we were on our way to a FHE when we saw a whole bunch of guys on the train tracks. They were all wearing soccer uniforms ( soccer teams fans). We later found out that they were on their way back from losing a soccer game. OK so just for some background info... the train tracks were about 30 feet away from us. We were walking parallel to them. So we were just walking and we saw them start throwing rocks and yelling. Well we got to the family's house for FHE and we started clapping. It was taking a while for anyone to answer the door and the guys throwing rocks did not look very happy, so my comp says OK if those guys start coming over here, start running! I thought, "Aw crap I don't run very fast but i guess its a good thing my comps fatter than me they can catch him first... jk. OK well the family finally opened the door and right when they did we heard police sirens and gun shots. It was intense.
Anyway other than that is that I saw the biggest nose I have ever seen in my life. It was seriously like a Mario and Luigi nose. It was gross.
We went to a lot of our investigators and were dropped by 2 or 3 really good ones, so that was depressing and to add on to that, Maria our golden investigator didn't come to church. Then on Saturday we went to this inactive family's house and all was well until the phone rang. The dad answered it and started yelling/kinda crying and then the mom and everyone got up really quick and asked what was wrong. Well it turns out that someone on the moms side of the family had just died. Well the mom started crying hysterically and it was just a crazy moment. So we left and I got to thinking how much I appreciate my family. So thanks fam for all that you have done for me. Thanks so much. Thanks again for the package and don't worry, I'll get the language eventually. Ha and tell dad yes, when the weather gets really hot and humid the mosquitoes are terrible. My ankles are all eaten up. Thanks for everything!
Love

PS Cecilia was saying you killed some dog? Did Toby die? [Cecilia is a member in the branch where Austin is at in Argentina who has hooked up with many of us on facebook. However, she only writes in Spanish...so we are having trouble totally understanding each other. I had asked her about the dog we thought Austin had killed with a rock...not that I had killed a dog...So no Toby has not died yet*!]
