Round 2 coming up!

hey y'all, how life going....

general conference was crazy good. it was cool to watch all of the sessions, the only bad thing is that we couldn't get anyone to go see it with us... but it was great, we watched it with all the other elders in english so yeah. my favorite talk is uchdorf, Sunday morning great, but i also loved how the prophet opened it up, with all the jokes, it was awesome. i really seem to love general conference now, mainly cause everytime i see it, i know they're all servants from God.... except the girls not the best speakers....lol.. but yeah, it's funny cause it gets very prideful, of them.. but i guess it's a good thing, what do i know? but yeah, so it was good....

but as far as everything else goes, it was mellow, relaxed, but we didn't have too many opportunities to work, but yeah. really, nothing happened that was weird since the last time i wrote y'all so i really got nothing...

well, we got in a bash, and we got round 2 this Friday.. here's the situation, there is a menos activo who is studying with another religion, and we got there right as this religion was teaching her, and so long story short, she is confused... i would be too.... and so she told us to come back Friday, this other religion also, and she will ask questions, and then we answer them. then the other religion, and we do it all like that... but yeah, so it's going to be fun...... but we got a secret weapon that isn't really a secret but they just don't use it, and that's the book of Mormon, seriously i have never been so grateful for that book, as i have been this transfer, all the arguments that can be had with the bible, the book of Mormon fixes them... and they help one another.... it's awesome.... so this hermana will go from menos activo to fully activo..... but if the BoM doesn't work, which it will, we still got the truth and the spirit..... so yeah, it's going to be good.. i hope we can help out the hermana see the truth. and so i will tell u all latter how it went.... really, i hate bashing, but for the hermana i will do it.... well, i guess really not bashing, more answering her questions, and the objections of the other religion... but yeah..... hope it goes well...

but aside from that i've got nothing. I'm happy here, my area is hard but I'm sure in my head i make it harder than what it really is, but there is always people, otherwise i wouldn't be here in this area... so family of 7 here we come.

but yeah, thanks for the love and the prayes, love u all and peace out

Thanksgiving in Argentina

happy thanksgiving everyone. this week has been really good for us...

this week we set up 2 fechas, 1 with a kid called christian, he's 12 years old, and is capo. when we were teaching him, he said his prayer and prayed that he would go on his mission in the united states...... it was awesome. he's great and at 12 understands a lot of the important stuff. also when we were teaching him one time he started talking about getting married in the temple, with a good mormon girl after his mission... the kid is a stud, and in the barrio there are a bunch of young kids so they will keep strong... so that's a blessing.. his getting baptized this Sunday... i hope.... i have faith..

then our other investigator who's doing great is called Walter, he is 24 and is the tio of a new convert, he's great, we were teaching him and he told us the answer he received, he knows it's true, it was awesome. he is working on stopping to smoke but he can do it easy.... hes a stud too.. his fecha is for 6 of December... so we will get him to that point.

as far as that, this week there was a big storm that made it a little hard to work but we did it. then on Saturday we played soccer with the branch that was fun.... Sunday was a hard one for us cause we only had 73 people in church which is really low for the barrio so we had to visit a lot of members to see how they're doing and why they didn't go.... but that was pretty much the week so far...

oh, we are living with 2 new elders now so four elders in our house so that's nice, we got good company....

me and bundy are doing great, he's going home but he has a saying... it's ok to be trunky if ur working... I'm down, we're working and baptizing....

oh and i have finally decided to put a goal for baptisms for my mission: 33, 3 every transfer till i die. so i will work for that, the more the better....

and as far as thanksgiving here, non existent. But it's all good... but since we are here I'm going to say the things I'm thankful for....

1. me, family, and friends, that's always there for me and loves me and helps, i seriously wouldn't be anywhere without them.

2. my country... it's funny how much u actually miss ur country when ur not there... but dang i love USA.... USA:USA:USA:USA

3. all the hard and bad times i have had in my life and my mission.. they sucked but when i think about it, i learned a ton from it all..

4. all the good times in my life. the bad times make the good times so much better...

5. the suns.... what more can i say, my team is my team and will always be.... i fight with a bunch of ginobli fans here... so keep it up suns.....

6. the gospel (just so y'all know, these are not in order of importance, they're just the things that come into my head). the gospel is everything in my life, i have seen it change lives in ways that only the gospel can. and in my life, it's what i am, i need to work hard, try to live it a little better, but without it i'd be lost, and have nothing.

7. momma and papa, y'all have helped me more than i could ever tell you, i love y'all so much.... and thanks for everything... i will never be able to pay u back for the things u taught me and helped me with...

8. fine, i guess i will have to put my bros and sisters again also... but i won't explain why...if u don't know why....you better ask somebody...jp... nah, i love y'all to.

9. i don't really have 10 things but I'm grateful that the list is almost over. (i really do have a lot more than 10 things, i just can't think of them)

10. I'm grateful for all the blessing i have received, the people i have met and know in the church and for their help in everything.

11. one more for luck. I'm grateful for the book of Mormon, just finished it again, and once again got the assurance that it is, without a doubt, true... i love it cause all u need to do to figure out it is true is read it and ask.... and u get the answer....

well, that's a lot, not everything but a lot, hope y'all are happy with the list. thanks for the love and the support y'all have giving me... peace out..
and happy thanks giving

ps. now that I'm thinking a little better, i skipped a lot of stuff like the mission, water, food, etc.... but yeah, it's all good so bye
