Sara's baptism celebration

 Sara's baptism

BALLIN. How´s it going? Thanks Mother for your letter.. I always seem to get Dad´s a week late... I´m guessing he writes me at work when he gets the chance. Anyways, this week was.. yep you guessed it. Busy. To answer your question Mom, we played basketball last week! It was so sick. We played against a high school, inside, but on a crappy and slippery court. Anyways we ended up winning! It started out a little rough, and I was so rusty, but we picked it up towards the end. They were actually pretty decent.. better and bigger than I thought they would be. Elder D, who also played basketball in high school and I just did pick and roll all day. It was awesome and it felt SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD to get out and run and play basketball. Before the game, we all went and bought sick snapbacks (hats) to show up to the game.. hahaha yeah we´re pretty sick. About my tooth.. I set up an appointment for Wednesday in the morning to go see him, but I don´t think I´ll go. You mentioned it would probably be better to wait to see Dr. Baugh, and I agree. I talked to Elder B here in the zone who went last week, and he said they charged him 30 bucks just to space the tooth out, and he also has to go back in again on Wednesday. And he said they don´t even have an X-Ray machine, so I´m thinking I¨ll just wait. Is it dangerous to wait too long if you have a cavity? Well I know it is, but what´s the time limit? 
     So this week we´ve been working hard to find more investigators.  I told Elder S early on that if we just worked hard and did all we could, I felt like we would get a reference from a member at the Christmas activity on Friday. We worked really hard, but nothing happened at the activity. I´ll explain more in a second. At that activity we had a family night, which consisted of a movie, talent show, and food. There were like no members that participated, and right before, I taught all the missionaries the skit we did in Laguna Redonda, my last sector. We did it again, and wow the members absolutely LOVED it, just like last time. Hahaha we definitely saved the talent show because all the members that were going to participate flaked out.  Elder H is really good at the piano, so he played a couple songs and the members also enjoyed it. Anyways S came to that activity and she said she fell asleep right before our skit, and when we started screaming and acting she woke up all scared. Haha she´s such a funny lady. Anyways we had put a goal at the beginning of the week with the zone. We have been doing really well with baptisms this month, but don´t have hardly anybody progressing for January. We put the goal of having 12 new people in church with a baptismal date, which would be 1 person every companionship. We didn´t achieve it, or even get really close, but we were trying really hard to find one new person to bring. Anyways, after church, a member from a different ward, comes up to us, asks us if a certain street is in our sector, and after we say yes, he says, ¨Merry Christmas¨ and points to his friend that´s a girl. He told us she had interest in the church, and that he had already told her the first discussion. By the way, he´s a returned missionary of 10 months that served in Brasil. He works with this girl, and she´s awesome. She woke up Sunday morning at 5:30 just to read the Book of Mormon, and had loved church. (She went to church in a different ward in the stake where the returned missionary is from). Anyways we got her number and we need to call her to set up a return appointment so we can teach her, and possibly her family. We´re excited for her and hopefully she progresses. Pray for her please.. her name is J. N is doing well. He had an interview with the bishop about the priesthood, and we also talked to him about it, but wants to wait a little bit before he receives it. He came to church yesterday, and seems to be progressing pretty well. For this week, it will be really busy. We have the Christmsa conference tomorrow, which will last from 9-4:30 about. We made our skit which will be really funny, but haven´t had a ton of time to practice it. We´ll have to get there a little early tomorrow to practice it. On the 24th, we should be going to a hospital to sing as a zone. We had to do a service before the 25th, and what we had originally planned out isn´t going to work out. S´s daughter yesterday told us we weren´t going to be able to do it where she works, so now we´re left to hurry and see if we can go to the hospital to sing. The 24th in the night, we´ll be eating dinner with the ward mission leader´s family, which is awesome. That´s what they all do here... they eat dinner the 24th like at 11 or 12 or so. We have to be in the house at 11, so we´re obviously going to do it earlier. We will also be skyping from their house, and it looks like we decided to do it at about 2 our time. So Mom, that would be 10:00 your time. Like always, have the email pulled up and everything so we can communicate if something doesn´t work right. Also, have all the phones and everything there in the house disconnected from wi-fi. It should be pretty good internet at the ward mission leader´s house, so hopefully all goes well. It will be crazy talking again... it´s been 7 months or so. I´m not sure how long I´ll be able to talk for, but we´ll see what happens. Don´t count for EXACTLY at 2, because we need to fix our lunch schedule so we can eat earlier. Just somewhere around 2 we should be calling. If it´s later, or even like at 3, don´t worry. I´ll figure it out. For the activity that day, it will last 3 hours. The first hour we will be doing minute to win it games, the second hour a movie (We don´t know which one yet), and the 3rd hour, we will play sports and eat some food. It should be fun, and today we gotta go buy some stuff for the minute to win it games. 
     I loved the story of Teagan and the presents.... hahaha he´s so funny. Tell him I would love to see him open the presents when we skype.. I can´t wait to see those nerds. By the way, Happy Anniversary!!!! I actually thought about this week, and hope you guys enjoyed the day 33 years.That's all I can think of to update you guys on. We´ll be talking on Thursday so it´s all good! Is DJ Teaskie gonna be there? I hope so. I´m gonna try and send some pictures of S and N's baptism. Thanks for everything.

It´s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... not.‏

December 15, 2014
Well well well... how are the dudes back in Utah doing? From the updates I got, sounds like everyone is doing well, and a little busy with the Christmas season. I, also, have been so extremely busy. We´ve had to do so much stuff to get ready for all these Christmas activities and such, and it´s a little stressful. Anyways, I´ll talk about that a little later on. This week, N got baptized!!! He was baptized on Saturday, and was confirmed yesterday. It was awesome, and he seems to be doing really well. I have some pictures, so if I have time I´ll see if I can send them off. We´ve found a couple new people to teach, but none of them were able to come to church.. pretty normal. Anyways we had done a family night with him, his girlfriend (a member in the stake), and our ward mission´s leader family. It went really well. The ward mission leader here is awesome.. and so is his family. All the young single adults in the ward are always hanging out at their house, and their son reminds me so much of Jon. He plays the piano, and is just like Jon haha it´s weird. Anyways the ward mission leader is really good and is always willing to help us. As for all the Christmas stuff... we have the conference here in Chillán with all the mission on the 23rd. We have to come up with a 3-5 minute skit or song, so we all met together and practiced.  I love all the other missionaries in the zone. We´re all way cool with each other. We came up with a good idea though.. and it should be pretty funny. We haven´t quite figured out about the service on the 22nd or so quite yet.. we´re still figuring it out. Also, we have to plan out the activity on Christmas for all the missionaries in Chillán. It´s honestly so much going on, added on to all the other responsibilities, and it´s been pretty stressful. Oh well.  It´s crazy Christmas is almost here.. I´m pretty excited. It´s weird with how hot it is. I did get my Christmas package, but haven´t quite gotten the hard drive. It´s probably in Concepción, and they´ll be bringing it on the 23rd or so. I´ll keep you guys updated. Anyways we´ve been teaching another less active family that has a 14 year old boy and an 8 year old girl that aren´t baptized.  The parents said they want to return to church, and they´re doing pretty well. It had been a little tough because she was pregnant and like last week finally had her baby. She was way overdue. Anyways the little girl loves when we go over because I do magic tricks to her with my cards. (Does a certain someone remember my magic tricks I used to do?)  Yes, Heather, I knew you would :) They all came to church, but F didn´t because he said he was tired in the morning. It might be a little tough because every other week he´s at his Dad´s house, because they´re divorced. We´ll see what happens. Yesterday at church, 5 minutes before starting sacrament meeting, the 2nd counselor comes down to us and tells me and Elder Sperry they need one of us to speak for 15 minutes. Elder S shared a little message in N´s baptism, so it was my turn to speak. I hurried and TRIED to prepare something, and as they go to announce that it´s my turn, they out of nowhere announce Elder S would be speaking afterwards too. Haha the face of Elder S was sooooooo funny. Anyways the talks turned out well considering how little of time we had to prepare.  We were going to watch a rebroadcast of the Christmas devotional in the church, but N didn´t end up showing up with his girlfriend because they couldn´t, so we left to go visit some people. I heard it was good though. I´m glad you guys enjoyed the Muppet thing.. sounds like it was fun. A member in the stake talked to another missonary, and is the principal of a high school year. Anyways they wanted to get some missionaries to go play a real legit game of basketball against their high school, so we´re playing here in like 2 hours. We got permission from the president, and we´re pretty excited. There´s 8 of us that´s going to play from our zone. I´m not sure how legit the game will be, but maybe I´ll get some pictures and send them next week. It should be pretty fun. As for Skype on Christmas, we´re not exactly sure what time we´ll be calling because we still haven´t quite planned the activity. I´m not sure the hour difference between here and there, but the activity here will probably start at 4, and we´d probably like to skype before. It would probably be around 2 or so we´re thinking.. hopefully everybody would be able to arrange that. The other possibility we were thinking was doing it after the activity.. which would be around 7 or 8, but we´re leaning towards before. Would that be possible? I loved all the pictures.. of Bella, our Christmas card, and the ballers balling it up. Bella is so freaking cute. Does she still like to play with frisbees or has she gotten lazy? I´m proud of Carter for giving his talk... sounds like he´s a genius haha. Anyways can´t think of anything else, just keep pushing and doing your thing my homies.. hope all is well and that you guys are enjoying the Christmas season. I love you all and I´ll talk to you all next week!!!!! 

When it seems the magic´s slipped away.. we find it all again on Christmas Day

December 8, 2014

Hey family! Thanks for the updates on the warm life back at home.. and the picture of Dallin. Haha he looks so funny. What a nerd. It´s really really hot here... but I´m getting used to it. Also, I was disappointed hearing Utah is going to the Vegas Bowl to play a MWC team.. haha but anyways good luck and they better wreck Colorado St. So this week was....

.. NOT VERY EXCITING! Haha just a regular week. Actually an activity that we did on Saturday turned out really well. All week we were going into government buildings and such to get permission to do the ¨He is the Gift¨ video in the plaza. We finally got permission, and it turned out awesome. We went in the morning, set up a projector and everything, and we got a ton of people to watch the video. I was honestly surprised how many people actually... (I can´t remember the word in English)... paid attention to us? Something like that but it was cool. We got a lot of references for other sectors so we´re happy about that. As for the devotional, we weren´t able to see it, but I think our ward is going to rebroadcast it and we might go. How was it? We had a family night with N last night, and he´s good to go for his baptism this weekend. He´s progressing very well. We´re excited for that so I´ll let you guys know how it goes next week. The interviews with the President went well. We had to teach him a little about the atonement. Afterwards, he took us as zone leaders out to lunch with the assistants at a nice restaurant in our sector. He basically told me to keep working hard until the end, and I told him that was one of my goals. Anyways, we have been finding some new people to teach. We are going all out with the ¨He is the Gift¨ video trying to show it to all the members and get some references.  We haven´t figured out what we´re going to do for the Christmas activity yet.. we´re still thinking about that. 
     By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HEATHER!!! 30 years old... Wow Heather... gettin up there huh? Just kidding :) Hope you had a good day on the 6th.. keep killing it and being a baller. When´s Robyn´s baby due? I can´t remember.. I feel like you guys told me but you guys should tell me again.. :) As for the picture you want Mom.. I didn´t bring my camera with me... but we´ll see maybe if I can next week. Or I´ll see if I can find a picture on one of my pen drives.. if it´ll even show up on the computer that is haha. But yes by next week I´ll for sure send a picture to put on the Christmas card. Just a recommendation.. maybe a different picture other than the one at the cemetery.. that might be better.. just saying. I like that quote by President Kimball Mom.. that was cool. It´s definitely true. That´s cool about the Christmas concert at the conference center.. the muppets?? Haha that´s random but I bet the church will make it cool. Anyways that´s the weekly update I got for you guys... tell Hayden I´ll for sure be giving him some pointers on basketball. How have they been doing? I´d maybe like some pictures if possible too. But thanks for everything and for all your prayers.. I love you all and I´ll talk to you all.... NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!! 

The Luck Comes When The Unluckiest Man Alive is FAR AWAY‏

December 1, 2014
Okay so first off.... did anyone else notice this? Once I´m far away, the unluckiest man alive, everyone starts getting lucky. Hmmmm... mark this experience down Trevor, and never forget it. That´s cool though.. I think Tanner´s right.. I deserve 250 dollars. I wouldn´t complain. Glad I could help :) I´m so unlucky.. I was known in my last house for being really unlucky by the other 3 missionaries I lived with. It´s a joke. Anyways this week... S GOT BAPTIZED!  It was awesome.. we had to lift her down into the font in her wheelchair, which was a little awkward, but it all turned out fine. She had to do it twice cuz the first time she didn´t go all the way down. She´s the mom of a member, and wow that´s another story.  The daughter´s husband baptized her and confirmed her, and we got into the font to help her to do everything. There was one point she was in the font and she just started like floating and just started laughing her head off. Hahaha it was funny and a little awkward, but it was cool. This week we also had a meeting in Concepción for all the zone leaders. They did it on Wednesday, instead of today, because as a mission, or I guess all the missionaries in the world are focusing on something different this month. They wanted to start it as soon as possible. It´s Christmas season obviously, and I don´t know if you guys have heard, but the church came out with a video called ¨He is the Gift.¨ It´s about Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. Anyways we´re going all out with it, and it´s helped us find a few new investigators. In all of our contacts in the street, we basically talk about the video. We even have to keep track of our numbers with new people we find doing it, and send a weekly email back to the church. Anyways on December 7th, it´ll be on youtube as the featured video, and will also be advertised in Times Square. The church is going all out which is cool. The next day, on Thursday, we taught the zone class, and it went really well. We just talked about the video and ways we can apply it here in Chillan. I believe that on December 6th, we will be going to the big plaza here and have it on repeat on a big projector and doing contacts. We´ll see how that turns out. The video is found on christmas.mormon.org.I don´t know if you guys have heard about it, but you guys should go watch it.. it´s awesome. Anyways, the other missionary I live with, Elder H, is from West Valley, and he´s on his second transfer. He told me the other day they made a Mormon Message on him, because in 7 days he went to 7 temples, and did family history for like 90 something of his ancestors. He got a letter from Neil Anderson is the mail and stuff, and they had camera guys in the MTC following him and stuff. Anyways the video is supposed to be out within the next month or so.. so that´s pretty cool. I honestly can´t believe it´s already December. I´m looking forward to Christmas.. we´re going to be doing an activity here in Chillán, just like last year when I was here... well not here but in Yungay.. but we traveled here for the activity. We don´t know exactly what we´re going to do, but this year they left it up to the zone leaders here to figure something out. We gotta talk to the other zone leaders and think of something.. I´m not very good at that stuff haha. That´s about all the updates for this week. N is progressing well towards December 13th. 
     Congratz to Utah for finishing the regular season at 8-4. Sounds like they overachieved the expectations with their hard schedule they had.. hopefully next year they can kill it. Good luck to them in the bowl game.. let me know where we´ll be playing and against who. Thanks Mom for getting that hard drive... you´re awesome. I was expecting you to like be asking me what I wanted you to do now, but you already sent it. What a baller. That will be sooo nice.... trust me. We have interviews with the president coming up on Wednesday.  Anyways thanks for the pictures.. Teagan´s and Hayden´s pictures/drawings made me laugh. Love those ballers. The picture of Bella with the stuffed dog also gave me a good laugh.. she´s so freaking cute. Is she still getting fatter? Well I should probably go... gotta put in a bunch of numbers... so fun right? Haha anyways thanks for everything and I´ll talk to you all next week!!!     NEILSON OUT!!!!!!

Just chillin in Chillan... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEAGS!!!!‏

November 24, 2014
Hello everybody! Thanks for all the letters and everything. I´m doing well here in my new sector. Mom, to answer your question, yes I am still zone leader.. senior zone leader that is now. I´m enjoying being with Elder Sperry.. it´s brought back a lot of memories from good old Jordan High. We have a huge zone.. a ton of missionaries and it´s a lot of work. I´m so tired. Like for reals haha. Anyways we´re just working hard doing what we can. We have some good investigators as of right now. A few of them had not been accepting baptism dates for awhile, but we got S, a lady that´s like 80 to accept a date for this Saturday, She had been still drinking tea, so I think that would be the only thing that holds her back. We´re also teaching a guy named N, and the appointment we had he would not accept a baptism date. We talked with him, and then a couples days later, his girlfriend (a member) told us he had picked a date for December 13th. They say he´s pretty committed to that date so hopefully all goes well. The house I live in is probably the nicest one I´ve lived in. Now don´t start thinking it´s way nice, cuz compared to back home it´s a dump. But it´s bigger than my other houses and cleaner. We basically live in downtown Chillan. I think I like Concepcion better.. it´s more city like. It´s pretty hot here right now, and only going to get hotter. It´s all good though.. I just gotta wear a ton of sunscreen. The ward here is pretty sick.. we had close to 200 people in church, and it reminds me a lot of Santa Sabina. We live like 2 minutes away from the church so that´s nice too, just like Santa Sabina. Mom,  here is what happened with that picture. The zone leader I replaced here (Elder F) finished his mission, and both his parents came to Chile to pick him up. They went to all his sectors and visited all the people. They came to church on Sunday here in Chillan, and afterwards he wanted to take a picture of us to send it to our parents. It was weird seeing him with his american parents here in Chile. Haha the Mom I could tell was kind of in culture shock. She said Chillan here was the least economically depressing area she had yet seen here. As I laughed, she was like, ¨was that a good way to put it?¨ Haha they´re from Huntsville, Utah or something like that.. I don´t remember. Anyways just to fill you in a little on that.
   No, they don´t celebrate Thanksgiving here.. so we´ll just be doing the regular thing. Happy Birthday to Teagan.. can´t believe he´s 6. We played soccer today at our church, which was pretty fun. That´s all I can think of. As for our address. we live on a street named Arauco. Arauco 32B. We live right by a Homecenter Sodimac and Tottus, 2 giant stores. We have to open a white garage door type of thing, and walked towards the back to get to our house. Congratz to Utah for beating Stanford and then choking against Arizona. Good luck next week against Colorado. There´s a kid in this zone that was also in my last zone that´s going to play for Colorado. We always talk college football when we´re together. He´s huge. We were kicking a soccer ball and he told me I need to walk on somewhere as a punter. Haha he´s a cool kid. Anyways that´s about all I can think off.. sorry I´m just so freaking tired and have a horrible headache right now haha. But thanks for the letters, and have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And also once again, Happy Birthday Teags, I love you!
Love you all!!! 

¡Me voy a Chillán!‏

November 17, 2014
Hey everyone! Here we are another week down.. yes Mom the weeks are flying by. it´s crazy. Well yes we did have changes today, and I will be leaving! I will be going to Chillan.. to a place called Dieciocho (Eighteen). Apparently it´s a sick ward. It´ll probably be a lot like Santa Sabina. And guess who my companion will be? Hahaha it´s crazy.. but Elder Ryan Sperry. Guess what high school he went to? Yep, he´s a Beetdigger. Haha we know each other really well, so that should be fun. I´m actually way excited. Anyways there´s a ton of changes that happened this transfer. It´s kind of crazy.. a ton of people are going home and there were a ton of changes. Two missionaries from my zone now will also be going to be new zone, and Elder C, my companion in Santa Sabina, is a district leader there. We get along well, so I´m actually excited for this change. The only thing is................ Chillan IS SO HOT. Oh my gosh like for reals it´s like an oven there. That´s about all the information I can give you Mom.. I will basically live in downtown Chillan, and I heard the house is pretty decent and big. And I´ll live with 2 other elders from Utah, and one from Mexico. I´ll be able to give you some more information next week obviously. This week was a little slow.. the only good thing really is J and his son. We had such an awesome lesson with J. On Thursday we went to the church and played soccer with him and other people in the ward, and Saturday morning we had the lesson. We talked again about the Word of Wisdom, as he´s had a problem in his life with it. He said a lot of awesome things. He said that he knew the Word of Wisdom was real and true. He said when we were all playing soccer, ¨even the worst player was running around like a crazy man without getting tired.¨ He also said he has stopped drinking coffee, and has seen a big difference. He used to smoke, go out to party, and nothing mattered to him. His wife told him how much he has changed, and how much she loves it that he has been sharing with us, because she is so much happier with him. He´s still drinking a little bit of tea, but said he is going to stop.  He´s such a great investigator, and I know he will be getting baptized. He will also be on of the best converts in the mission, and I´m sure of that. I won´t be here to see his baptism, but I feel good because I´ve been teaching him for 5 months and I´ve seen how much he´s progressed. He was asking what happens after baptism, so I have a feeling pretty soon here he´ll finally decide to just do it. The wife too, in time, will probably get baptized. She´s really cool and receptive as well, but just works every weekend. Other than that, the week was a little slower. We knocked a lot of doors and found like 3 new people, but probably won´t progress. That´s about it for the updates for this week.
     I´m a little disappointed I didn´t get a score update on the Utah game.. I was definitely excited and anticipating to see how it went, but it´s all good haha. Yeah Mom, I knew there was an MTC here, I think it´s actually been here awhile.  Hayden and Teagan are gonna play junior jazz!?!? Haha oh my gosh what ballers. I´ll miss the majority of the season, but that´s awesome. I´m gonna practice with them when I get back :) I enjoyed the pictures Brian sent me.. straight up ballers for reals. Guess what else this transfer has in store? Thanksgiving is this week right?! If so, Happy Thanksgiving and good luck Black Friday shopping. But even better.. CHRISTMAS!! I´m excited.  Anyways not much more to update you guys on. I forgot my notebook of dreams because it´s already packed away, but next week! I love you all and I¨ll talk to you guys next week!!! :)

ARE YOU SERIOUS UTAH?‏

The Utah game.. I honestly can´t believe it.  What a joke. Haha it was so weird I just stared at the screen thinking.. what the freak?! Sounds like the game was closer than the final score indicates. That play probably changed the whole game. I didn´t get an update from Jon, so I imagine he´s still pretty upset.. haha oh my gosh I legit couldn´t believe that play. 
 J said he loves the church and everything, and that he´ll get baptized, but wants more time. He does know that changes are next week, and most likely I´ll be leaving. M, I don´t know.. we haven´t had too much contact with her. I enjoyed Dad´s letter tho.. that was really cool. We´ve helped her with a few of these things, but invited her to pray. She did, and said she felt it was false. She´s just been looking at stuff on the internet. She´s trying to destroy the Book of Mormon, and if she can´t, she´ll believe it. But thanks a lot dad.. If we have another visit with her, I´ll mention it. I don´t know, I´m a little frustrated with all the investigators here so I don´t wanna talk about it a whole lot haha. All the new people we find are just nice people, but the first thing they tell us is that they´ll never change their religion. People here in Chile just don´t like commitments, at all. Anyways, I´ve learned to have even more patience with them.  This week was decent.. not a whole lot to report. It´s basically the same thing every week. I could tell you about some more people we´ve found but they won´t be progressing. Like I said, they are really closed in their ways and make sure that´s the first thing we know before they let us into their house. We had a zone activity today. We went to a church, played some sports, and had a barbecue. We played soccer, volleyball, and attempted to play some basketball.   Well that´s about the weekly update. Way boring.. sorry I know. Yeah Mom, time is flying by.. I honestly can´t believe it. Well, okay, I feel like I´ve been gone for sooooo long, but at the same time not really. It´s weird.  :) Just kidding. That´s not too good about Grandpa. Good thing they found it though.. I´m sure he´ll be fine and I´ll be praying for him for sure. Heather, I hope my notes were of help to you.  By the way.. what week are we planning on going to Disneyland in May? I love Disneyland.. is it going to be a Holiday week or what? Just curious. Mom I´ve been thinking of my Christmas package because you wanted me to think of ideas. Did you for sure decide to send one or what? Because I know you were thinking of just saving the money for something else.. like clothes. I don´t know.. what do you think? Obviously I wouldn´t complain because I love packages.. but I don´t want you to feel like you´re obligated to send me a package just because it´s Christmas. Anyways, just a thought.. let me know. Well that´s about it for this week... thanks for the letters and everything. Still in shock about that play.. but good luck to Utah this week against Stanford. The next 2 years we don´t play Oregon or Stanford right? I love you all and I´ll talk to you all next week!!

P.S. My dream- I finish my mission (I´m not trunky) and I get to the airport in Salt Lake. I got to my family and I´m excited, but I just casually say hi to them. After a minute, I realize I haven´t given even my mom a hug. They laugh and say how they thought I didn´t want to hug anyone because it was against the rules and they thought I was just a super square missionary. I laughed and told them I had just forgotten. On our way home in my mom´s new car, my mom pulls over and tells me I can drive the rest of the way home. I was so nervous because I hadn´t driven a a car in such a long time. I got in and started driving, and it was a little awkward and hard for me, but I got used to it. Then I woke up.
