Hey Everyone!!!
How is everything? Things are still just going fine in Argentina. There aren´t too many changes to talk about. My kid is pretty cool. We are working really well together now and we have a few good things going on in Morón. We´ve found a couple of good investigators and we are working with them a lot. Also, one of the part-member couples in our ward is getting married and then the wife will get baptized!!! Finally! Also, an old investigator, Pablo, quit drinking after I don´t know how many years. He´s been sober for 22 days. We went by him yesterday and he said he wants to go back to church!! So, we´ve got a few good things happening. Hard work always pays off in the end and hopefully I´ll be able to see a few people get baptized. That would be sweet!!
How was Father´s Day? I hope turned out well. Here, nobody was in the streets and it gave them an "excuse" not to listen. Bummer, huh? I don´t know how many different excuses I´ve heard. One is too many. Also, we contacted an old man the other day who told us that we needed to get "real jobs". He wasn´t interested to say the least. That about sums it up for this week.

Hey Everyone!!!
The mission is just great. Things are going well with my kid. He´s interesting. He didn´t have very many friends and so he doesn´t really talk a lot but that´s changing. The only problem with him is that he thinks he´s smarter than he really is, a little prideful, and thinks he is always right. Sounds kind of like me huh? I think a couple of months will change that for him. Being a trainer is good. I´ve learned a lot already, which is a good thing, and I´m excited to learn more. My area hasn´t changed. The people are still a little tough and nobody is progressing like I want. We are going to have a baptism the 27th so at least something good is going to happen.
How does time fly? When I leave this area I will have completed the year and just a little bit more and it´s all downhill from there! So things are going well. I don´t have anything to complain about. The work moves onward and I´ll keep doing the best I can. Hopefully these people will catch on to the fact that the Church is true and change their lives.
Well, that´s all for now. Hope you all have a great summer!

Hey Everybody!!!
So, we just had transfers on Monday. We had 172 baptisms this time!!! That´s awesome!!! The mission record is 179, which we set 2 transfers ago. The work is really growing here. Also, for other news I got a new companion...emphasis on the NEW!!! I´m a TRAINER!!! Can you believe it? 10 months out and I have this wonderful opportunity to grow from what I can learn from my greenie. His name is Elder Cortes from Columbia. He´s 23 years old and got baptized 2 years ago! I´m very excited to work with him and to see what happens. Also, something else, I´m sure you´ve heard of Elder Aidukitis. Well, my area recently received a referral from him! President Benton came to contact him with us but unfortunately wasn´t home. I´ve called the house many times and I finally got an appointment with him for tomorrow night!! I´m very excited to see what comes of it. Right now we have one baptism date for the 27 of June. He´s a kiddie dunker like the majority of my baptisms but hopefully it will help his mother get baptized. She´s not married yet and that´s her problem. I´ll get it done.
The work is awesome and growing every day. The Lord always blesses us with opportunities to share the gospel. Please don´t waste your chances to share this wonderful gospel with nonmember friends and family.

Hey Everyone!
So things haven´t changed in the mission. We´ve found some decent investigators and I´m excited to see what I can do with them. I really just want to be so successful it drives me nuts!!! I don´t think I´ll ever reach perfection...I´m always lacking a little something. But hey, that´s probably how I should feel since I´m only human, right? However, transfers are in 6 days and I´ll be getting a new companion so we´ll see how it is. I´m just excited to get another change. Change is good, especially in the mission.
Nothin really special happened in the last week. One kid told me and my companion that we should be careful because the punks like to rob Mormons but I´m not too worried. Like I have money to give them, I don´t even work for cash! People here will do anything for money.
Today we also had our zone activity. I wish I would have played soccer when I was a kid because I absolutely suck. Who would´ve know soccer would come in handy? But, we did play ultimate frisbee too and I owned so it was still fun!!
Well, that´s all for this week. Until next time.
