We've this week been trying to work with less active members but its kinda hard getting to people to come to church .. you never really know  if there gonna show or not...  But we have been working with this mom and son... hes 13 and just awesome he always is trying to make fun of the tall white kid and just yeah its great haha

Week 11

HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO(insert wyatts voice here....) 

Well been a good long week! Tuesday we had a service project with the Cespeds family that we baptized they  had us paint the inside of there house which was super fun just cause we have such a great relationship with them. It was really good I got to wear my wranglers and a t shirt. I've never felt so at home in my life hahah. You would of thought  Brother and Sister Cespedes pooped a gold brick when they saw that I had wranglers on. They cost alot of money here cause there such a good brand of pants to work in. I'll be honest they are a good pair of pants... hahha something about wranglers.... 

 Then on Wednesday was our zone meeting that seemed to take all day and kinda really boring but oh well. Then the next day Elder Da Silva got really sick cause we gave a blessing to a little girl that's a member and she was super sick.. shes doing better now.. but Elder Da Silva got what ever she had and was out for the day. Then Saturday and Sunday we had stake conference that was really good.. I guess I still don't understand a whole lot when people speak in church but I'm trying to get the Spanish down. They had all the missionary's sing a few songs for everyone. and they had a little girl do a solo.. shes blind but sings really good! Then Sunday night the Cespeds youngest son had his birthday. He turned 10. and birthdays here are bigger than Christmas so we got invited to that and I no lie eat tell I almost popped. and it was just a blast. While we were there we started talking with a few people and now were teaching two of the sisters of Sister Cespedes so that was great. 

Then we have today. P DAY ha was good we met up with some other Elders and just kinda toured around Formosa i guess you could call it. But there were some elders that were gringos like me and so they explained alot to me and just helped me out. 

Transfers are on the 18th so in a week.... kinda exited just cause my training will be over and i wont be a neweb any more.. guess I don't have much more to say this week... oh yeah i got  some more letters this week. thanks to everyone. thanks Heritage Ward Relief Society  ...

 well tell next week!!

Hello back at home!!! I heard its getting colder there how lucky are you guys its getting hotter here. Things are getting better with my companion. Transfers are this month on the 18th. Stake conference is this week.. and they asked the missionary's to sing in it so I get to see Elder Gowans that's good !That guy is one heck of a friend to me. met Elder Grovers this week he's on his first transfer here in the mission... he's a small town kid from Utah as well,,, and went on splits with Elder Brough this week and got left in my area so i was in charge that was a long day... but we made it.. this week we had another baptism but his family is members so it was just us there to just help him but it still counts as one of are baptisms cause we filled out the paper work... so I guess that's 12 in my first two transfers... things are going good just hot and humid

Week 9

Its kinda been a long week this week but super busy down here so I guess that's all good, 

We had interviews with the President and his wife this week that was good. My interview  started out with the President saying Elder Seamons "I know that this may seem hard right now but you and I both know you've done much harder things in you life and this first little bit may seem hard but we both know its nothing to what you've done in your life.´´´ so that caught me off guard 

  

Then we had a wedding this week..  we just baptized M... and wife and M.... had a problem with smoking and drinking.. a bad problem he's thirty and his wife is 18. M would smoke close to 40 pluse a day and in one week he went from 40 to 2 a day and the next week he stopped cold turkey!! No lie a Miracle!! I'm really close with M he's a really good guy. He calls me his white brother.. they live in a card board hut and really no lie have no money at all!! I gave him one of my normal t shirts I had. I've never seen a grown man look at me like he did and cry of joy and hug me so tight! He's really funny and just loves joking around, that's how I get along with people is just make jokes and have fun with people. We have to remember that people have life's too and don't just live like us missionary's do everyday.

 And one of are converts this week. Brother L gave the priesthood to another one of are converts Brother C. that was super super cool.

 

Then I had to go to Chaco to do my paper work Me and Elder Gowans went to fill out paper work to get are DNI which  is our ID for here... most the missionary's here haven't done that but they had us do it... once i get my ID I'll be a Argentine so that's kinda cool. It was like a 3 hour bus ride and we just sat and talk in Spanglish most the time. We bought a pizza and split it. and I don't know  it was kinda cool cause we had to get there and both of us don't really speak much Spanish  but we made it there and back! That was a long day getting up at 3 a.m. to catch a bus, but I enjoyed it cause Elder Gowans was my companion for the day it was pretty freaking awesome!! . But yeah just another hot day down here in Argentina  things will all work out

Week 7

Well its been a little better week but not the best. I've found it fun to look for the most crazy things to happen on a motorcycles.. people with ladders I've seen 7 grown men on one moto,I saw a lady breast feeding and driving at the same time.
 Its getting a little hotter around here but I'm just living with it summers always went by super fast for me and I feel that this is just one big long summer I've been gone for 4 months now and its crazy.
 We had another baptism this week that was pretty good. We have 9  in one transfer we've had  x2 the number of baptisms my companion has had in the last 8 months. We been doing alot of contacting but were getting this done down here.
 Things are good getting hot I could use some normal food sometime in the next little bit.. we eat alot of the same thing hah but ice cream is good. I miss milk like crazy

Conference week
