Ehh che!!!

What is up!? Gosh this week flew by! Like Jake said in his Email the mission is like a girl friend... I feel like I'm a newly wed and I love me new area and Comp. Things are so much alive here. I loved Romero but it Budge is just a little better girlfriend. My comp is from Paraguay and very, kinda like crazy. Much more my type of comp. I just feel more alive, more like a missionary, and just feel like I'm in the right spot. My comp is just awesome with helping me with the lang. Hes not afraid to call me out, In any situation... haha 

We have been working hard and been finding new people. The people here actually keep the commitments and remember their appointments. Its a miracle. Anyways I'm heading into honeymoon and ready to kill it this week. There are so many things I've learned in the 6 or something months i have been out its crazy. 

I just know this church is true. If it wasn't I would buy a plane ticket home because this is the hardest thing ever but because i know it is There is nothing i would rather be doing or testifying of. 
Keep it real out there. Pray hard and keep The ten commandments!

Hello Budge!

So today was transfers and I got shipped out. It was very hard to leave Romero and the people I was able to meet and connect with there. I will always remember them and the experiences there in my first area. Well my new area is straight villa and most dangerous area in the mission. I should be getting some stories soon haha!  My comp seems like a very confident dude and pretty fun so its kinda refreshing to have someone with energy and that I can actually talk to. I live in a room above a members house with another companionship. I haven't had a transfer with only my comp and I living together. I like it a lot. Its so much more fun. 

Last week in Romero we found a family that's soooo awesome but I left... those hours of walking and trying to find someone paid off.  Only to leave a couple of days later haha!  But its all good. Its crazy how fast time is going by and how Jake has 18 months... What?!  This time is very precious and I'm trying to make the most of it. Definitely a lot of sincere prayers and a lot of things that I'm learning. Needless to say, the Lord works on us missionaries a lot in these 2 years and I couldn't be more grateful. 
Well, I love you all be safe smart and be awesome

What's good from La Plata

SO this week was really weird. Or it just felt weird I think I'm just dazed and confused.  I don't know whats going on half the time. The work is really slowing down here. We decided to just find new people. the people that don't just listen to us because "they respect everyone" but don't keep any commitments... so it was a week of lots of walking and my feet hurt. 

The temple was awesome!  The trip took all day but so worth it. My zone is mostly hermanas but the zone leaders are studs. One is leaving next week and I'm going to be so sad, we get along really well. Good new is that I know enough Spanish to understand everything and hold my own in the temple haha. 
The weather here is soooo weird for me. one day I'm just dying then there's a huge storm and its super humid then cold then hot it is terrible. I got a bad fever from it and still trying to recover from it. But I'm still going at it.  My comp thinks I'm faking it or something so we didn't really take it easy even though i thought i was going to die. 

Everything is really tranquilo here and my mind is kinda blank right now. Transfers are next week so I'll probably get shipped out of my house into some ghetto villa... ahh we will see. 
Thank you everyone for all the love. Love you guys
