Week 10 - Salta

Monday, March 23, 2015

My week was good. Sunday was good too. We had stake conference. We had the visit of Elder Romeu of the seventy. 

So yeah its raining. I dont like it...but we are the ones that have to look for the apartment. We arent finding anything. 

I literally shouted when I saw that Bro. Holderness is the new stake president! I bet that dad is the new bishop! 

I am stoked to get home just to see how much everything has changed. Im a little nervous because Allison leaves this week and now its my turn.

We will see. I got to go. I got a surprise. jaja Its my last agenda. 

;) But yes I got the informacion for the flights. Its going to be a long trip.

I hope you all have a great week! I love you tons!!!!!

Week 9 - Salta

Monday, March 16, 2015

I had a good week. We are working a ton. We are finding a lot of people. We are working for a baptism for the 28th for a guy named Facundo. He is cool and he is excited. 

We are still looking for an apartment. We dont have any luck in finding one. The other two elders also go to our ward. Elder Evans is from Canada and Elder Sellman is from Bolivia. 

You have got to send me a picture of Sean going to Prom! Weird. 

Yes it has been raining a good bit here. I usually do wear my boots when it rains a lot. I still have clothes. But I will be leaving almost all of it here because its all old. My shirts are not yellow yellow but there are not the color of a new shirt. jaja  

I have no idea what my flight is from Salta to BA [Buenos Aires]. All the missionaries go on the same plane to BA and then to their homes. I am pretty sure that normally they are there in the airport here at Salta at about 9 am on Tuesday.

I love you lots! We are almost there :D  jajaja nos vemos pronto!

Week 8 - Salta

March 9, 2015

I had a good week I am working hard with my comp. We are finding good investigators and we are focusing on setting baptismal dates so that they can get baptized. 

Its been raining a lot here. We are looking for a new apartment because when it rains outside it also rains inside of the apartment. A lot of water falls in quite a few places inside of the apartment. 

I will send you a picture of my comp. He is my first comp that is taller than me. 

I am stoked for Andrew. I miss the temple so much! I want to go! 

Do you guys have whats up on your phones? Everybody here uses it. It seems cool. I hope that I will be able to use it on my iphone 6 when I get home;) [Ha, Ha, very funny!]

I will send you some pictures now. The flowers are for mom :)

Week 7 - Salta

March 2, 2015

Hola Hola Hola!

Buenas Tardes mama y papa! Last week was transfers and I wasn´t able to write for that reason. I got a new comp for my last transfer in the mission. So he will be killing me. His name is Elder Harris. He is from St. George [Utah]. He has 18 years. He is super great. He almost has 6 months in the mission. Its his second area and I am his third comp. He doesnt have fear of anything! I love it. I think he works harder than I did when I had his time in the mission. jaja He is helping me a lot so that I dont get really trunky! It´s a blessing!

We had a good week. We worked hard! We had a church attendance of 143 people on Sunday. The most I have ever seen here! 

I am super super super super super super super super super super super super excited for Andrew and Sara! I am seriously speechless for them! I am especially happy that I will be able to see them go off. But I am not happy that he leaves the 10th of June. That means that he will be taking away from my birthday! jajaj :D Its the best that he will be leaving to serve a great mission. In the second best mission in the world! There is nothing he can do about it now! He got seconds! jaja

So I wrote a letter for you guys! I was going to send it last week but I wasn´t able to write!  But now you have it! 

I will send a couple other pictures!

I love you lots! CuĂ­dense! No se pongan locos! :D [See picture below . . . He knows his mom gets mad when he does not wear sunscreen, we we think that is why he said this!].

Nos vemos!
