WEEK 2!!!!!










Well its been who heck of a week! 
Well I'm still alive so I guess its been a good week. Well lots of people ask lots of different things... I don't know where to start with all this. I've already had one baptism  . I've got 2 more on the 20th and the next week maybe 3 to 5 more hahha. 
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!! I've got alot of people to write back

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

Last Week

So its my last week here at the MTC its been so great and learned so much I can't believe it.
It's really been a long week though. 
I've been to the doctor for my hip.. hope everything works out how its suppose to. Elder Black left this week, so its just back to me and Elder Gowans.
I guess school just started for all Utah kids.? I'm still having a hard time with Spanish, but I have found out that the gift of tongues is a real thing. Super amazing love it here guess I don't have a bunch to say cause most of it here is just class work.

Well hey everyone!
 This week is going really good! I like it here! alot! Its just hard cause I'm so close to home I go to the temple and see people i know or see people driving around its crazy hahaha.
 So Elder Gowans best friends got in a big car crash this week back home and 5 out of the 7 ended up in ICU at Primary children.
 I'm zone leader so know I've spent all week end checking people out of there rooms and been up tell like 12 every night... was sick this week and just keeping up the good work. If i can say anything to anyone it would be just always be happy. people notice.... well i love all you guys!!

LOVE ELDER SEAMONS

Week 3!!!

Well hey everyone!!
I miss talking to all you guys! I'm having an okay week. I got another companion and so now there is 3 of us.. His name is Elder Black. He's pretty awesome. His visa paper work didn't go through to get to Mexico.. sucks for him but hey he's really helping me with my Spanish its hard to learn all these new things in such a short time.
 So I'm not district  leader anyone... they asked me and Elder Gowans to be zone leaders so there's that exited news!
 So Iv'e gotten a new companion every week so far here.. and hey i found out that my day to come is like June 28th of 2016 so less than 23 months left! But I'm not gonna count the days I'm gonna make the days count!! 
me and Elder Nielson are really close he's such an amazing guy. I sleep on the floor now cause we all have to be in one room when we sleep. Loving life still kinda hard though  cause I'm so close to home. I really do love and miss all you guys. 
Elder Seamons



Week 2

Well this week has been good to so far! Been a little harder for me.. Spanish is kinda really hard when you don't even really know how to speak English... 
As a lot of you guys know my first companion went home.. sad i really liked him. But now I have Elder Gowans he's amazing and so in tune with the spirit!! He  helps me so much with Spanish in the 5 days i've had him. 

I really miss all you at home but I'm really trying to stay busy so i don't get to home sick. So this week my district talked so pretty big talk in futball.. We so kick trash. Kicked all the natives butts!!! 
Really am having fun I love it so much sorry i don't know what all to say all i do here at the MTC is eat and study and sleep.
love elder seamons
