Hey guys!!! So I am so glad you guys write me!!! It makes my week!

So things are slowing down here, but also speeding up if that makes any sense. I am really comfortable with everything. My teachers are great, my companion is great and I just love it here. Slowly I understand a little bit more each day, but it´s all gospel vocabulary I´m learning. When we go out proselyting, I still can´t understand a word the people say. It´s so frustrating. Last proselitismo, we went out on Friday because there was a world cup soccer game on Saturday, and Argentina was playing. Just think about it, the whole country of Argentina goes and watches the game. It´s nuts. The whole world comes to a stop just so everyone can watch the game! Well we went out on Friday and it was going pretty okay. Hna Kubly and I are slowly becoming more comfortable going up to complete strangers and talking to them. Well we ran into the Hnas that taught in that area. We were so excited to see them, and one of them was from Utah, so we were able to talk to her. We got to go around with them for a few hours, and we got to go to a lesson with them. The lesson was with this cute old man named Luciano. He lives in a little shack that´s probably as big as our living room. The sisters were telling us that he had all this porn up on the walls when they first started teaching him, and now he has pictures of Christ. It´s great. I got to say the opening prayer, and halfway through the lesson I got to bear my testimony. It was so hard, but I truly felt the spirit fill in all the gaps in my Spanish. It was great!

So everything seems to be going well at home. I wish I could be there to see Jocelynn walking, and Josiah´s big boy bed. Can you guys e-mail me, or send me some pictures of our family. I forgot to bring some, and I want to show my companion what you all look like.

Elder Anderson from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles came to the CCM on Tuesday, and it was awesome! We all got to shake his hand, and I got to sit on the front row. He did most of his talk in front of the pulpit, so he was just feet from me and my companion the whole time. He looked at me straight in the eye. It was so powerful. He related, that he really struggled with the language (he went to France) and that he didn´t feel like a strong missionary, and that he struggled at times. It was so nice to hear that even Apostles are people too. It was so nice, and I just feel so eager to get out in the mission field!

Winter hasn´t hit quite yet here in Buenos Aries, so I´m good for now. It was funny Mom, I told my companion about how you found 5 unfinished blankets in your sewing stuff, and she was like "She should finish 2 of them and send them our way!" Hahaha! I thought that would be a great idea! (j/k we don´t need blankets). Well I need to get off now, but know that i love you guys, and you are all in my prayers. This is the true church, and I am so glad to be out here doing the work. Please pray for me and the people of Uruguay!
