Futbol Fever

The world soccer cup has ended and Chile did not win.  Sad!  But an other interesting experience.  In the US, I do not get caught up in soccer but here in Chile everyone does.  The missionaries can go to members' comes and watch the games that Chile plays because there is no one on the streets to talk to when the games are going on.  Everyone is watching tv!  The whole economy rose with all the food consumed during the games.  Elder Stott went to the grocery store right before the first game and had to ask someone why so many people were there buying everything, especially party supplies.  The person he asked looked at him strangely and said that it was the Chile game that day and everyone was going to celebrate.  So we watched a little of the game.  Alas, soccer is not my thing.
