I just got to do what the Lord wants me to do

well, this week has been crazy, but mainly with conference and the baptism. but so i will start with the baptism. we didn't have it, what happened is we were getting everything ready to go, we were going to do it in the morning, but then we figured out we didn't have the key to the baptismal fount and so we called the bishop and he tells us to fill it up anyway... so we do it without going inside. then we realize that the fount isn't clogged... so we needed to go inside to stop the water from draining. so we go outside and see that the window was open... and so i hoped inside and put the plug... it was way funny cause there must have been people watching and thinking why are the mormons breaking into their own church. but yeah, in the end we got a call from antonela and she said she had to work and wouldn't be able to do it..... to show that God works in mysterious ways.. obispo forgot that he didn't even have the keys, so if she would have come she wouldn't have been able to get baptized anyways... so yeah, big blessing..... but then conference..... it was awesome. i got to say i love conference, the talks just get better and better. so i can't complain....

and so now with transfers..... I'm now in a little pueblito called loberia. it's a pueblo right above necochea. to be honest, when i got the news i wasn't the happiest camper, cause i had just got to villa serra a little while ago. but yeah, i can't complain, i realize I'm getting the things i wanted in the mission... as far as the places i want to go, and things i want to do.... in loberia, it's a branch, and I'm a 1st counselor in the branch. so I'm going to learn a lot about how to do that stuff. which is really what i wanted.... so I'm happy with the change. my comp is a chileno called elder guzman, I'm his 2nd comp in the mission, so it's fun to have someone with that newbie desire. he is a really good kid, i like him. but yeah.....

to explain what the pueblo is like, it's about 24 by 24, so it could be smaller. but it's a pueblo filled with a bunch of old people and the church doesn't have the best reputation, and in pueblos it's hard to fix that.... non the less. I'm excited to see what the Lord can do with us there. we will need to rely on the spirit a lot cause i have never worked in a pueblo nor have i ever lived in one... so it's going to be fun. this couple of days working there, my comp has been comp mayor showing me around and helping me with that. but we are talking with every one.... i figure it's a pueblo with 5 thousand to 10 thousand so there has got to be a lot of people so I'm way excited...... but yeah that's with transfers....

funny fact in my old area, my son, elder bills, is going there. that would be the 3rd time i have left him an area. he has been following me in the mission. so it was funny when i heard that.

but yeah, it's been a crazy week but no complaints. i just got to do what the Lord wants me to do, and let Him make me the tool He needs me to be. so yeah, I'm way excited just to see what we can to here.... but yeah, I'm going to try to send pictures of necochea, I'm here right now and took a lot of pictures so my mom would be happy, so yeah...

but thanks for the love and the support. i love y'all. and will see y'all latter...

peace out

Transferred but with my comp

well every one, big news, i got transferred..... well kind of, they changed my area but not my comp......

or sea my area is called villa serra. my comp is still van wagenen, but they changed it. the new area is exactly like the name calls it "villa"... but so we got whitewashed in there. it's funny though cause my comp was in that area about a year ago.. so this sunday when we went a lot of people already knew us. so yeah, it's been a weird week... they actually told us last friday night, and saturday we moved... the kind of fun thing about the mission.... but it's cool, i like working in villas a lot more. so yeah.

now, my comp has also been sick most of this week so we haven't been able to work in the area as much as i would have liked but yeah, it's alright... but I'm way excited for the change... the thing i have learned from the mission is change comes whether u want it or not, but it's u who makes it a hard change or an easy one. so I'm happy about it...

i think it's always hard to leave an area, and even more so suddenly, we didn't have time to tell anybody in the ward, minus the obispo, but I'm going to miss them. but I'm like a 20 minute walk from my old area so it's not that bad... lol

but to answer some questions.. the book/books in studying right now is the book of Mormon, and preach my gospel.... I'm also reading Jesus the Christ cause, like i said, my comp is sick and I've got a lot of time in the house so... yeah, it passed the time... way good... it's funny how stuff like TV isn't really that much of an interest right now.. but I'm sure if i saw a suns game i would be way tempted.. that's why i have never seen one...

but my favorite scripture is probably... cant think of one... but i like 2 nefi 4.. and 2 nefi 25. and the bible is way cool. but I'm not reading it right now.. lol.

and my favorite comp i have had in the mission is always going to be the comp i'm with at the moment... right now it's van wagenen.. in two weeks when transfers come we will see...if it changes... hope not... (but with all that talk about change I bet it will come...lol )

but as far as the teaching, it's been great. the meetings helped out a lot. just when we teach there is a huge benefit and we can feel the difference and so can the investigators so it's way great.... and been a huge benefit...

sorry it's been a crazy letter.. but gots to go, love y'all...thanks for the support and prayers.

peace out

Fun week

ok this week was fun.... there was a lot of stuff to do but it was alright....

Thursday, me and my comp probert went to get the packages for all the zone and then we went to deliver them... so if u guys want to send packages, yes, i do get them a little faster, not by much but without the middle man. so saves that time. but yeah, so that's good. then after that it was a normal day. it's cool in my new area cause there are a ton of people and so it's easier to find some people.. then Friday i had to go with my comp to the mission office for some metting... while he was in the meeting, i was with the office elders, they are not as bad as i thought...but yeah, cool kids. that was pretty much all Friday. then Saturday and Sunday were normal working and teaching people... then Monday i went to a small city called coronel suarez, and we did divisions. it was fun, i like to see other cities/ pueblos, it's cool, so that made me happy. then Tuesday we had zone conference and me and mainly my comp had to put that all together but it was fun, so pretty much it was a busy week, here i also had to give a talk in zone conference, it was bad. but we didn't even plan it till like 2 hours before, so i don't complain. but yeah, it's been fun. these next weeks will be easier. and tranquilo..

oh and funny news from caisamar, my last area, they have gas... yeah ,2 days after i left... yeah ,makes me laugh... so now they are not moving and most of my time there was wasted... oh well, stuff happens for a reason... makes me laugh, i'm happy for my son and my last comp....

so about the zone, there are 13 companionships, 22 elders, and 4 hermanas... the biggest zone. and there are 4 districts. but like i said last week, my official title is assistant to the zone leader, there is only one. so i just help him out. i like it that way.

some thing about this area is it is the area pres. grew up in when he was a kid... he was born in bahia blanca, and this is his old barrio. so a lot of the members know him, but he goes to a different barrio in the otra estaca. so i dont really see him all that much. unless he randomly comes from nowhere. but yeah it's a cool barrio. as of right now i like it a lot.

I'm happy right now with how the things are going. i love u all, thanks for the love and the support... and hope i answered ur questions...

peace out...

oh pops, my street is spell chancay 504..... or... terrada y chancay. i live on the coner above a store... love y'all, peace

Training a new comp

this week I'm in Bahia Blanca.....I didn't get transferred but I had to come here to get my kid.....yep, I'm training..... it's weird, I'm really nervous but got to do my best.... i really don't feel ready to train but me and my comp will have to learn together.... so sorry, i don't have much time to write much, my new comp's name is elder bills, he is from salt lake, Utah.....and I'm his papi. he seems great and like a kid who knows a lot so he will help me teach a lot.....

but this last week was good as bundy went home, and i got to kill him... or so we say... but it was great working with him, he was the best missionary i have seen so I'll try to keep his example.....

then this week on Monday and Tuesday i was without a comp so i was working with a kid called Gabriel, the best recent convert i have seen, he's a great kid and we got a ton done so it was good to be with him...

then today, at 2:40 in the morning i went to the terminal to go to Bahia and here i am..... i got back to Santa a Rosa at 6 or in a little while, so I'm happy to be going back, Bahia is nice, but i feel more at home in Santa Rosa...... mainly cause it's my area....

but yeah, so I'm happy to be training, like i said: i really am nervous, but if God didn't think i could do it i wouldn't be doing it, so that gives me comfort, just going to do my best and keep going with the motto, stay chill and work.... cause for the next year and a half es lo que hay.....

alright sorry for the short letter, i will let u know more about the comp... latter.... alright thank u all i love u and peace out...

oh, about calling for Christmas, buy a calling card for Argentina, and i will call, give y'all the number of the fijo amd then y'all call me back.... i will let y'all know more as we go.... love u all peace
