Well I made it to Argentina I didn't stay a
night in Buenos Aires we got another flight to Neuquén everything has been
moving super quick.
So the first thing in Argentina was the fact
that no one was speaking English!!!! Crazy right so everyone in my group just
stayed together and moved like a big blog we were super scared and had no idea
what to do. There was no one there from the church to pick us up so we didn't
want to leave the airport so we just formed a mega blob of missionaries it was
pretty awesome many peoples looked at us like we were crazy.
So we waited around for like an hour or an hour and a half. Eventually the mission president of Buenos Aires and another lady came in and gave us all a big hug I imagine we all had pretty scared looks on our faces. Most of us hadn´t shaved or showered for a couple of days. So after a awhile we got a big bus and went to the mission office in down town Buenos Aires what a culture shock the people are awesome but always in a hurry and there are soo many dogs here it blows my mind. Like there are literally millions of dogs in the streets and on the sidewalks. Most run as soon as you look at them.
So once we made it to office we meet different people ate lunch and boarded the bus again to head to the different airport for our plane. So now it was a smaller group but it was still way awesome to have people with me. We had a layover there for 3 or 4 hours. It was super long and now we are hungry but now we don’t have money or know how to speak. So we waited and waited some more. Another group joined us from the MTC Argentina super nice elders and sisters. We boarded the plane and made the 2 hour flight to Neuquén. It was quiet and you could feel the tension in us newbies.

Once we landed we saw President Lovell and Hermana
Lovell they gave us a hug and we boarded some buses to the mission home. The
elders slept in the Casa Grande. The house of the senior companion super nice
people. Elder and Sister Emky. We spent two days there resting getting ready,
studying and bunch of other stuff than we went to the chapel and were assigned
companions. My companion is Elder Vanez he is from Chile has been in the field
for 6 months. Knows perfect English this is the funny part he learned English
from Star Wars. I’m serious its nuts.
I’m so happy that I have a native and an English speaker. The last couple of days have been a blurr for two days we lived in apartment with a other set of elders it was so small and tiny. Filthy but I didn't care. Now we have a nice apartment to ourselves. Its clean thanks to me and my companion. We have one family and two other people to teach tonight I’m super excited. Next week I will try and send pictures of my area and other stuff. It is sooooooo hard being a missionary I wasn't ready but with the Lord I will be. Sent to every one please.
