What a week!!!!!!

Its been one long week this week...Monday  P day  on Tuesday .It was awesome it rained alot of the day and was just nice and cool.. 
A member family called us and asked if I could come work on there car they didn't know what was wrong with it so we went... I ended up tearing out a radiator and welding it and fixing the main hose  line with a bike tube 2 zip ties and some wire hahah guess it pays off to be a red neck some-days hahah. They invited us to come over the next day!!! On my birthday they made me Empanadas and a Tarta which is just a cake that was great!! Then that night we went to are investigators house and they had a Tarta for me as well pretty awesome i thought. That night they decided to be baptized as a family so the next day we had to go to central ,which is like a 20 min bus ride and we had to marry them so they could be baptized.We got all that worked out and did all that fun paperwork stuff and the next day we baptized a whole family I mean I've been here a month and baptized 8 people.
My companion keeps telling me I'm going be a baptizing fool. 
But just been a long week seemed to drag on... sorry i didn't write yesterday it was a holiday here so everything was closed and so we had our pday today... and on my birthday we had a district meeting and I had two letters in the mail from Kayla so that made me super happy.. I got to baptize the father and the oldest son!!! The oldest son is 15 and bigger than me

Week 4-----Birthday Week!!











This week has been great we had another baptism and tonight I get to help marry a family that is planing on getting baptized next week. Its getting hotter and hotter everyday but its just starting to feel like summer back at home. 
I've been kinda getting better at Spanish and everything that's going on I guess.
 We had a multi zone meeting this week with a "70" it was kinda cool I guess I didn't really under stand a thing but I was there I guess that counts. There were white people there so I kinda just stared at everyone like a dog watching TV. 
I finally had a Argentine  BBQ and oh heck I was in heaven I had 3 in 2 days!!
 Things here are good I guess I don't know what all to say cause still just trying to under stand.
I played fut-ball con la chicos yo found out that I'm pretty solid compared to all them they would run in to me and just get layed out. 
I turn 19 this week I'm pretty excited I guess just another day in Formosa I'm almost done with the Book of Mormon in English.. Spanish is next hahha love you guys 
Love Elder Seamons or as they say here "say om ons"

It's been raining a just perfect amount for me at least. Everyone is wearing heavy coats and scarves. I've helped a few people get there cars un stuck out of the mud I guess all that time at sandy beach getting stuck came in handy . I went on splits with Élder Naumann who is from arizona... that big storm that was there hit his house i guess. It was nice to have some one to talk in english with.I learned alot that day and almost got eaten by a pack of dogs..I talked to Élder Gowans today my compainon from the MTC I guess he got bit a few days ago haha We had 6 new investigators at church this week.  We had 14 people tell us they were coming but it rained super hard on Sunday and when it rains here no one leaves there house... with it raining we got a phone call and told that we had to move out of are house to a different one!!! So I got to move but im okay with it cause its alot bigger and I dont hit my head on everything ha. But thing are going great here making it. I won't lie its rough here but I'll live just gotta give it time... we did service this week was super fun I got to wear normal clothes and all the kids here keep asking where I got my clothes .I look so amerincan its funny to me everyone one here trys to look like there american but there still living in the 90s hahah

It's been a great week, The weather is alot like Utah  hot then cold then sunny then raining.. but its good here.
 I wont lie its hard and kinda sucks and just down right hot and dirty... but the members are amazing! my spanish still sucks.. people here mumble and just dont really even talk... crazy story's... hmm well all the little kids here love my eyes.... the girls my age always invite me to party's.. and all i have to say is I don't understand Spanish and than they just give up... some drunk guy asked me for money the other night... i always get asked if i have money cause I'm white.. but its my companion that has money.. his family owns a hotel on a big beach in Brazil and he was a model for coca cola and stuff like that... but he doesn't talk about it much.. his dad passed away like five days before his 18th birthday so its jut him and his mom and he just loves making new friends and stuff.. He's way good at soccer I'm only good cause I just stand in front of the chicos <( boys) and they just stop cause I'm a lot bigger than all of them.. 

 I live in a little two story room thing..  That is 2 of my room stacked on top of each other... this really ugly ugly light blue walls I have running water but its all by gravity..  no pressure in the water here...  I eat alot of white bread and rice and chicken so far.. empanadas  are great!!!!  I eat alot of fruit in the mornings! its cheep and yummy i spend like 40 to 50 pesos on fruit witch is like nothing ha   A member does my laundry its really nice makes my life a heck of a lot easier the members are awesome!! Brother Chappie told me if I ever come back after my Mission he's gonna take me hog hunting hahah. They just had a baby the first day I got here .  Elder White is my zone leader with Elder Newman he plays baseball too so we throw a rock around sometimes.
 People wake up at like 8:30 or 9 ish and sit around tell 12 eat a what they say is a big lunch.. then take a nap tell 5 ish... then just sit around and drink beer and mata...
 I can out eat most the people here its kinda funny cause they wonder where i put it all haha!! and beer here is so cheep like so cheep so alot of people dirnk... for two beers is like 10 pesos and there about the size of sparkling cidder bottle.. so yeah.. there's like no driving laws so people drink and drive... and the police here do nothing about it....  um I don't really know what to say... sounds like everyone back home is doing good sounds like a few of my friends are getting married and  just doing alot of normal stuff.. well love you guys!!

Week One in Argentina



                                           Hola
  So I'm still alive and some what healthy little sick but its not to bad. Ha So I don't even know where to start in this email, My companion is from Brazil and doesn't speak a lick of english.
I don't know if everyone heard but I'm in Formosa its a suburb and its one of the poorest parts of the country. People with alot of money here live in a concrete house and the poor people live in houses made of trash... There super small to like 10 by 10 is big...  its hot it smells like dog crap and super ghetto but i love it! Its super hard though cause I didn't learn what ever there speaking here. They all speak some indian spanish and just mumble really. The little boys and girls here love me though cause they've never seen a different color of eyes besides brown and I'm just 6 foot 1 of whiteness. I already had my first baptism. There are  dogs everywhere its crazy, and all you have to do is make some whistle noise with your mouth and they run hahaha its crazy ha well I don't know what all to say cause i have hardly talked much. I gave a blessing to a lady.  Its been crazy fun,
Some little kid about Trevors age called me bad names ha that was hard not to say anything and idk alot of the people here dont like the missionaries, And I stick out like a sore thumb ha every one around here drives motos.. aka moped ha it sounds like the Giles camp out 24/7
It gets a little cold at like 3 am. Our apartment is like the size of our shed but to stacked on top of each other. Yeah getting a little sick. Today its like 100 degrees ha it rained all day Sunday I had to talk in church... that was hard. only like 20 people in the ward. I spoke on Ether 12 .27 having faith in christ.
Its super diffrent here. I'm sure glad I have what I have. Its amzing here though. I cant wait tell I can talk to you though... I'm liking it here... Just remeber get on your knees when ever you can cause the lord is listening just need to pray and talk with him

And I thought this was cool but idk if I should tell you I got on the bus the other day and there was bullet holes in the window. People here dont like guns so I'm not worried... and we have phones  and Elder Kailen Johnson called me yesterday it was nice to hear english.I Love you guys.. alot. Tell the boys to work hard and keep there heads up cause that little bit of work in your life now teaches you alot! Talk to you guys next week 
Love Elder Seamons
