How’s it going?
It’s been
another good week on the mission. A cold front is hitting Buenos Aires right now, but its still not
super cold. I don’t think it ever gets super cold here, but then again, I’m in
the offices for the majority of the day, so I shouldn’t be one to talk.
Monday is
transfers and my companion Elder Mason is leaving the offices, and I’m getting
a new companion! His name is Elder Evans, and we were companions before in the
MTC! I’m really excited and I think it will be a lot of fun because I already
know I’m going to get along with my next companion. I’m staying in the office
for at least another transfer.
As far as
proselyting goes, it was pretty slow this week because we had a lot to do with
transfers, and we have an activity tonight to celebrate Pioneer day, and so we
did a lot of planning with that. With the time we did have though, we were able
to visit the Bustamante family again this week. They are continuing to progress
and move towards their goal of entering the temple. Every week it’s a great
blessing to teach them because they are a living example of the Atonement.
Every time we visit they just seem happier and there is just more life in their
faces. They are truly coming to Christ, and it’s a blessing to be able to
witness that.
We have
an activity tonight and it should be fun. My companion and I made a really big Buffalo out of cardboard
and hangers, I’ll send some pictures afterwards. I’m happy with it! We are going to be playing
some pioneer games and then watching 17 miracles as a ward. Afterwards, there
is a Ward Baptism, and so it should be a fun but busy day. Not much of a Pday,
but we’ll get some time in!

It sounds
like New York
is a party! Wow what a cool trip! Being in the middle of China
Town probably helps you understand
what I first felt like coming to Argentina . You just kinda stand out
like a sore thumb! If you find a place that sells empanadas, get them because
they are probably my favorite food down here, and if there is a place to find
them, New York
would be the place!
Other
than that, its been a pretty normal week! I know the Savior lives and loves
each of us. All we have to do is come unto him!
Have a
good week everybody!
Love,
Elder
