Hey everyone!!!
Things are really getting wild here at the MTC!!! If you don't already know I'm flying out to Argentina on Monday the 29!!! I'm so super stoked that I can't stand it. The days are long coming up to it and I just can't wait!! I'm really excited to get to Argentina and watch General Conference there. I'm going to invite tons of people to watch it when I'm there!!
So cool news, this upcoming Sunday our district has been given the assignment of prayers and ushers for the evening and so I volunteered myself for a prayer. Not too many missionaries get to do that and so I'm excited for that.
Also, I set the MTC record for most Pop Rocks packages placed in one's mouth. The winning number was 5. It was pretty funny. I wasn't able to completely finish them and so I ended up spitting them all out into the garbage can. But it was still cool.
Well, that's all from me this week. The blog should stay up and running while I'm in Argentina. I've been told that there are a ton of internet cafes all over the city so things are bueno. Thanks to all those who have written...letters are the joy of every missionary's life in the MTC. In the field it's going to be a different story though. I'm so excited to finally get to teach and change someone's life!!!
Until next week.

Incoming from the MTC!!!
Hello everyone!
Things are fine and dandy here at the MTC!! My time is starting to wind down here and soon I'll be in Argentina!!! 12 more days it's Adios to America!!!
For cool news, Elder Uchtdorf spoke to us last week and this week Elder Richard G. Hinckley spoke to us. All of the talks are fantastic and it's awesome to hear General Authorities speak to us each week!!
For the Daytonites, I've seen Elder Jolley and Elder Roberts. Elder Jolley and I like to tell each other jokes in Spanish and stuff like that.
The Spanish is coming along. It feels like I've already forgotten some things but I'm always learning new things.
Oh, something cool. Every Saturday when there's a BYU football game I can hear the cheers and the announcer. It's pretty sweet! That's as close to the outside world that I've been for a while.
Anyway, life is good. The mission is sweet and I'm loving every second of it!!!

Coming from the MTC!
Hey everybody!!!
Hope things are well with you all! Things are still honky donky dandy here at the MTC. I have only 4 weeks left until I get to go to Argentina!!!
The language is coming along. It's difficult but possible. I don't really have a problem with saying what I want but I still need to learn more. As for cool MTC news, yesterday at our Tuesday Night Devotional we had a surprise speaker. Elder Quentin L. Cook came and spoke to us about Preach My Gospel and how to effectively teach investigators. It was a nice surprise.
Other news...I'm pretty much the champ at 4-square these days. A few weeks straight of playing and you get pretty good. I've got a signature backhand that is almost impossible to hit back! It's a lot of fun!!
Anyway, I hope things are well with you all! Always remember that the Church is true and don't let anyone tell you differently. I know it's true and I can't wait to share it will the people in Buenos Aires!!
