Ya, I'm in Argentina...

Hola, 

The weeks are starting to just fly by and the sad part is that my spanish is still "poor to fair". But its all good the people bare with my when i talk and im pretty used to feeling like an idiot. What I deal with in my apartment is unbelievable. The other elders are by far the weirdest dudes here. The love to play lion king music and jump around as gorillas. when we find bugs they light them on fire and they never stop singing its unbelievable. 

This week was sweet! we did 2 service projects one we built a bridge. the bridge collapsed 2 times when they were pouring the concrete in it but they fixed in and its now done. I probably wouldn't walk over it. Let alone drive a car over it.  But that's how things are in Argentina.  My and I also made a fence for this old lady in our ward and the fence was pretty decent. 

My comp and I are on a roll. the work is going great and things are rolling for us. We are expecting some baptisms in the next couple weeks. its such a good feeling to walk out of a lesson that went super good. 

Love you all

Sink or Float?

Honestly I cant remember anything before Thursday, but Thursday was terrible to say the least. We had intercambios and I got paired up with the Latin zone leader... it gave me a great idea on where I was with my Spanish . basically no where.  Haha its awesome! But honestly,  it was a good time and I got a lot better with my spanish and it was nice to see some different teaching styles there were. 

This week I had my first rain storm and i didn't have a coat or anything. It was sunny and clear skies and after our meeting it was absolutely pouring.  I felt like a missionary. soaking wet and having a smile on my face. 

This week we had another baptism and we have one this upcoming week. We are super excited. Saturday Elder Holland is coming so that is going to be awesome!   We are all super stoked to see what he has to say to us. Well, sounds like everything's good at home.  Thanks LCC for redeeming us against Torrey.

Love you all,
