Hello family,

Last week was interesting with my comp in bed for most of it. He had some sort of illness and he's almost better. I just love being sick in Argentina and without my mommy. It is almost impossible not getting sick here. We'll see if I make it home alive and with how many worms. Haha.

Tomorrow we have the baptism of a recent convert's daughter that just decided to get baptized. She will make a wonderful addition to the primary. We are hoping that through her example her old brother and sister will be baptized also. Her older sister is not getting baptized because her next door neighbor told her that if is gets baptized she won’t be able to have a boyfriend, ever! People just love to give wonderfully false information about our church. I'll make sure to write a book of all the stuff I've heard.

I took some pictures of the pension so that you can all see my beautiful government dream home. We have 3 rooms, 1 bath, kitchen, dining/living/family room. Our back yard is nice and spacious. Elder King and Elder Rapp made it their “canchita de sueños” (field of dreams). They played soccer every morning during the summer. I have a nice weight set made of concrete. I'll be RIPPED by the time I leave this place (or not). We'll see how things go.







I don't know if I told everyone that I am living right next to Uruguaiana. In Uruguaiana there are two stakes and 24 missionaries. I think it is interesting in comparison to our 1 district and 4 missionaries. I'll take some photos from the coast and you can see what it looks like over there. I think I will be eating some pizza hut from Uruguaiana in the future. Members tend to go there frequently. I ate a hot dog from Brazil the other day. It was tasty. It reminded me of the state's hot dogs. Maybe I’ll get a member to bring me some grape soda from over there. Maybe I’ll continue to fantasize in my letter to my family . . . OK, I'm back. So yeah, Brazil is cool. Dave and I will definitely take a motorcycle tour of South America when I get back or get done day dreaming.


The Rojas family is really cool. The two of them are only 21 years old and so they are almost like normal friends. They are really cool and we are excited to continue helping them get to know the church and the restored gospel. It will be difficult to get them to church because of the newborn but I figure they'll get there in a little while. We believe that they will be receiving an answer shortly and that their baptism is a short way off. We watched the restoration video with them in our last visit. As we were leaving he asked us if we were going to leave something else to read in the Book of Mormon. He also scheduled our next visit with them. I really like this family and our members our awesome so I know they'll take good care of them before and after their baptism.

Ahora (now), question answering. I decided to donate my washing machine to the mission and my boy, Pruess. It has its official residence in Clorinda. Sadly the sister never made it to the temple nor did she make it to church very much either. When I took the combi away the branch kinda died out. I just felt like the combi was just taking away an opportunity for them to show Heavenly Father that they love him enough to make it to church by sacrifice. In the end no one was really using the combi to its full capacity so it had to end. I don't meet with the whole zone very much because two elders live an hour and a half away in Curuzú and two other elders live 2 hours away in Mercedes. Mercedes is where Gauchito Gil was born and raised. The people here are just like they were in Goya. My area takes in all of downtown. It is really nice to walk on more paved roads than dirt ones. We are talking to more people in the streets than any other method of proselyting. That is how we found the Rojas family. We have found a lot of nice people that way. There are a lot of nice big house in my area. There are more good men here than there were in my last area.

I hope that this letter will suffice. I love you all and we'll talk next week if you write me. Hasta luego.
