Family,
Well everything is going good for us down here in Galvez , it was a great week , yesterday Sunday we had a baptism of a kid of 9 named fransico , what a stud of a kid i must say . I must say I am loving the work of the lord , how great is this work .. Also this week we said good by to our old president of the mission, we have a new president named Villalba who is from parguy ( don’t know how to spell the name) we have are frist conference with him this Wednesday , so really looking forward to that I must say.
So as you can see there is a lot going on in the mission , we have a new president , who I know is called here for a reason. As fare as this new area I am loving it, it’s a lot bigger then my last area, so it a lot more walking I must say but o well.. my compa elder Arro and I are doing great , as a companship, we have been baking cakes at full , I think by the time I get home I will be one darn chef, lol I am learning a lot of cooking on my mission.. quite fun I must say. O yeah my comp is loving all the food I am cooking he just eats it all lol… I know that I ment to send you all photos of the house last week . so ill I will send a lil this week and the week to come, as well.. the pinch takes me back home cuz it has such high sealings such as our house , but I really do like the apartment here.
Well family I know that I love you all with all my heart , you all have helped me out so much in this short time and in my past as well, and mom I am doing everything I can o keep positive through out my day and trusth me the lord is helping me out each and every single day that I ask him, which pretty much every day lol. Dad I know that you have this new calling for a reason, the lord whats you in that spot , for you helped the priest for so long , I know that you are going to help the single adults so much, that is such a good group of kids , they will help you out as well, can you all tell them hello for me this next coming week at church.. family I love you all to the core of my soul. I know one thing that hits me everyday on my mission is that the lord is with us day to day of our lifes, and he is with us each step of the way , we must just simply ask him for his help and let us become his true children , and talk to him as if our own parents on this earth, no matter what time of day he is always there to guide us and protect us in our times and his time. For he is just as thankful for us as we are to him in our lives. Just by simple things in our daily lives we can draw so close to him. The thing is that we must always be wanting to do his will in our lives, as reading our scriptures , going to church , partaking of the sacrament, and fullfuling our callings, and ask him for his guidnece in a simple prayer everyday and every night.. He is our heavenly father and he is all ways listen to us. For my beloved family and friends I love you all I know you all don’t have to worry about me for I am in the lords hands in his most holy work, I know that he lives that Jesus is the Christ, that this is his holy and only true church on earth..
I love you all thank you for you support in this holy work and for all your help… I love you all, and I know the lord will bless each one of you all , and just remember the prayer of a little one is one of the best prayers to the lord there humilty to him … I need to remember it as well… love you all…mom the thing I ask is just to put some more money in my account please… how ever much you see fit please .. thank you all love you tell next p-day

Alma 57:27
Family,
Hello hello it sounds like everything is peachy lol , it just sounds like its really hott up in el paso and lubbuck . well i did move to a new area the name of the area is Galvez it s a city out side of rosario, by like 5 to 10 min not by much its a really nice area. I think i am really going to enjoy my time here in this new area,its a huge area lot bigger them my last . My comps name is elder Arro , and guess what i got luck this time i got another person from argentina from a different part of Buenos Aires, from the south part of the city. So how lucky is that i must say. As far as the new apartment its really nice high roofs just like back at home lol but this time around it s only me and my comp, just like in my frist area,up in federal . the bad thing is that the apartment was very dirty , but with a lil bit of work i got it clean in about 2 days . ill send you a picture of all the trash... lol
So i got a new area that really was not expecting when i recvived that call . but all in reality i know its where the lord wants me to serve him i did my time in santa fe , so to tell you the truth ia excited at the fullest , and i am stocked for this next chapter in my mission story lol. One thing that is a bit different in this area is that its a lot coolder hear . cuz in a map santa fe is more inthe norther part of the mission and in argentina , but my new area is just 2 hours south from santa fe but that lil difference makes a lot of temputre difference , i guess lol there is a lot of things going on with the country , political from my under standing they had a chage of presedent , who now is a women and she rased the tax on the framers lots 60/100 of there products had to be payed to the goverment , so the framers did a protest and stopped sending out product , so when they did that the truckers ran out of work so they stopped worrking , from there rose another protest with the truckers , so when we did a food run there was nothing in the stores cuz in reality no one is working ..... the presidenta talked to the people but i dont know if she solved any thing , we as missioonaries are not allowed to talk to the people about whats going on political ....
In reality this whole thing is not putting a whole tole on mission work but just like every now and then you hear people saying anti americna stuff like always. But we just dont worry about it a keep going strong in the lords work for he is the purpose we are serving .... i just wanted to let you all know how the politcal seen is down here... i just know a lil bit not much.. but family i know that what ia m doing is the3 holy work of the lord and that he is looking over each and every one of us in theses latter days iam going to share a scriture that i read thuis moring in Alma 57: 27 .. it says .. Now this was the faith of these of whom i spoken ; they are young , and there minds are frim , and they do put their trust in God continually... here is the story of the strippling warriors , as we all know the story , but then i started thinking that the missionarias are the mondern stripling warriors , and that we are young , pretty much the same age as they were , and we are continually putting our trust in the lord to serve him and to help his gospel grow , it just hit home that verse i justn wanted to share it with you all as well .. well i love you all to the depths of my heart .. tell next p day

Farewell to Santa Fe
Family,
Hello how is everything going for you all up there. This week was good and all we had a total of 2 investigators in the church this week. But I am not going to lie we worked hard all week to get them there, so it was worth it. As far as my cold I just have a runny nose is all really. And yes mom I am taking all the vitamins , but I have no more body Rox I would like some more of those. My comp and I are doing really good , but I just got news today , when we were playing soccer at the church , is that I am leaving my area tomorrow, after interviews, and I am going to the area of Rosario, one of their areas close to it. So I am leaving another area…. Going on to my third of my mission..how crazy… and I really don’t know what's going to happen or ho is my comp, this came as a big surprise….not going to lie……so I really don’t know what to expect I am going into this blindfolded , but I am sure the Lord has a reason for why I am going I put my faith in him and my trust in Him.. and I am just going to go where he calls me to go…
I am so glad to hear that the girls camp went good,and the whole experience, cuz it sounds really good , mom just a lil tip I think I would do in that case is give Lupe a copy of the book of Mormon , and mark the part of the vision of the tree of life and let her read it and let her pray to the Lord about it , so she can fell it for her self that this is the church of the Lord … I think it will be good for her cuz as she is reading she will be remembering that whole experience at the camp…so I think it would be really good for her cuz she has already felt the holy ghost in her life with that experience.
As for dad I am really excited for him to be it the bishop ric now I am sure he is going to enjoy that calling to the fullest… mom the girl that you did meet is Karina, and yes she is pretty … and she did write me back awhile back ago , then I wrote her and she never wrote to me back both in letter and email, so I really don’t know what happen..think she may of gotten a boyfriend , no idea… one thing though is that I truly did enjoy that ward , you all are going to love tell every one there hello for me and that I am doing great down here in Argentina , and loving every min. of it…
Well family I truly do love this holy work of which I am doing and I know the lord has a reason for me to go down to Rosario for a reason. I think I did my part here in general lopez for the Lord , I just truly hope he is happy with the work of which I have done for him in this area.. family I love you all to death and I truly mean those words , I know each one of you has a part of my heart , and I owe everything to you all for all the help you have all given me in my mission and before , thank you all… for I know the Lord is here with us as we go by day by day in our lives , and that he is willing to bless us , in our times of need and when we don’t need it , for I know that this is probably going to be a big one at that to be serving in a new area so soon for him.
Family keep strong to the ways of the Lord. My biggest desire for you all , is that you continue to read your scriptures in your own study time I truly think in that little time of every day is the way the Lord did change me and create me of new to help me teach his children , for I know that his children are waiting for me I this new area , and I tell you what my family, I'm going to give it my all to preach the word of the Lord to his children…P.S thanks for the package and the new journal … I will enjoy it love you all

Well everything is going good I am speeking spanish a ful.. but there is a correctttion for you all I got to latins in the apartment and its me and E. chasity from woyming .. But any who we really just do speak spanish in the pinch. …. plus I have a personal meta to speak spanish this whole transfer .. so I am pretty excitied for that…
I can tell onr thing that I am not to excitied for is all this cold weather that is coming in.. man is it cold I must say … I have been wearing my trenchcoat all week. This past week it was kinda a bust cuz we had the electricty cuyt twice this past week and were left with power , heat in the casa… pretty cold must say.. but I know the lord is there to help us out in this this time of cold, if the missionaries that frist spread this gospel did it now days.. I ll be fine. So I really excited for this next trasnfer I must say.
So that’s how the mission is going right now. Great I must say. We are already working at full pase from the start from this tranfer. My comp, is from buenos aries , and has about 15 months in the mission. The whole pinch is farly young this tranfer. Which is really cool.. also he is coming from rosario a very nice area but the people are really hard hearted there. So he is pretty excited to be serving in this humble area in Sanea Fe… so we really want to do as much possible this transfer during this time for the lord in this area.
Family I must tell you all that I truly love this work for are god, even when its really cold outside , you learn to put yourself to work si o si , you learn to humble your self for the lord. Let me tell you and man does he bless you in the act each and every day , how great is it to be in this time of the lords work , to help dpread this great gospel to the lords childer who sre ready to hear it, or if they are not either way we are going to teach them lol. But this is truly thee best learning experence one could truly have in there young years to help them in the rest of there lifes… how greatful am I to be sering my dear lord in this holy work in argentina your these 2 years of my life, o and how fast does this time fly by I must say to you all… I love you all I want to tell ypu I know the thing of nwhich I amdoing are of the lord, to help his kingdom grow in the latter days..i know that you are the family of which I choose to share this time in my life with you all my beloved family. Mom and Dad you are the parents of which I choose to rase me in the times before this moment, I how greatful am I to have you both to look after me in my days how greatfuly honored am I to call you my Father and Mother Thanck you… To brothers and cosins, how thankful am I for each one of you to share the same house wih you thanks to my mom and dad, I learned many many thing from each one of you , you allhad a great part in my days of growing up , and thank ypu for all the things of which you all did teach me in my young days, to help me get on the stright and narrow path of the lord , to fix my path of wrong doings in my youth..
How luck am I too have each one of you as my family members to help me grow and fix mymrong doings… thank you for all… the chapter I would like for you all to read if you can this week would be of that great book of Alma Chapter 26 , I read it this moring and it just helped me so much it inspiried this letter today to you all right now … how great the power is in the scriptures , how great is this time in my life….
