I want a buzzer or thing to cut my hair ...

Thank you mom for the box and everything you do for me I appreciate it a lot all the sacrifice you and dad go through for provide for us. Right now I don't need anything I'm good.  I want a buzzer or thing to cut my hair but I wait for awhile and most of the elders have one and also the member have one always so I plan on having the members cut my hair for awhile. Other than that nothing really important that I can think of. Ya I have it but I don't think I can use it here in Argentina and I don't really need to right now.

The hem in my pants are starting to fall apart but I can get members to help me but its a little stupid that they are falling apart when I only have like 4 months in the mission they should be fine I treat me pants good and wash them in a good washer (good for Argentina).

Tell Emma happy birthday for me and I hope she had a good birthday!!! Sorry to hear she wasn't accepted their loss not Emma's.
And I got my transfer call Saturday night so I leave today in the evening for my new area.   My new area is called Plotier the ward/ neighborhood I will live in is called Barrio America ha-ha ya I'm serious its called America its super funny to me.  This area is about 20 min away from my area now so not a huge move. Its a different stake so that will be interesting to meet a new stake again. In this stake I hear there is a lot more members so this will help a lot more with lessons and other stuff. The stuff I've heard about my area is its more like the country more space between the house and a little more calm than my area now. People say its super nice and pretty I guess I will see once I get there.
 
My new companion is named Elder Price. This all i know of him, he is a gringo which is always good to have to help me learn but I also want a Latino soon so I can work on my accent. I had a talk Sunday in sacrament meeting I didn't have time to talk a lot so I just bore my testimony which was good cuz the last time I bore my testimony in sacrament meeting was my first Sunday in this area. I will spend Christmas in this barrio so I'm stoked the time here is crazy fast. Oh ya I think we will have the opportunity to hear a member of the 70 soon maybe in December or January so that will be awesome I'm stoke for that. 
Ya its crazy I wont have Thanksgiving for two years and I hope all is good mom

Well hope all is well with you all is well with me.
Love

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!!!


Hi Mommy
 
As of now the boxes take two weeks so ya the first of December or last of November. Thanks mom for the box it means a lot that you send stuff a lot of Elders don't get boxes so thank you!!!!

Ya for my birthday was pretty normal in the morning we changed things up and had eggs and hash browns which were amazing. We had a full day of appointments which is the best. One family wanted me to sing to them cuz I look like I could sing ha-ha they were wrong ha-ha. But the day was awesome in the evening we passed a members house and we had a little party. It was a surprise party I didn't know about it so that was nice. We had tons of food, empanadas, cake, soda, and fruit salad and other stuff. It was awesome we sang songs and everyone shared a thing they like about me it was super special. So ya my first birthday in Argentina was awesome.

So ya this is the last week in this transfer so I'm probably going to get transferred but I don't want to move but oh well I'm excited to see more of Argentina and meet new people and new experiences. Well not much is super new I hope all is well with you mom. Always remember your Heavenly Father is there for you and will always answer your prayers.

One more month and I will be able to call everyone!

Love

I walk a ton every day.....


Hey mommy

How are you? Well ya I think they are delayed a little the dates on the other emails like the one about Halloween and the different test emails all came in on 31 of October.

Wow that’s cool here it’s in the high 70s and low 80s but most days there are breezy that help a lot keep me cool but I’m roasted in the face and neck today I need to buy sunscreen and maybe ask the President if I can use a hat cuz I burn pretty easy. But the food is good had a little diarrhea the other day but not bad just one day so ya I’m still doing good heath wise my lips are super chapped that’s another thing I need to buy today ha-ha.

Well wish Emma good luck with the crush and wow the picture of Emma with Hailey she looks a lot older to me ha-ha. And maybe this will be the year they break the curse of finally winning state hopefully ha-ha. And ya I heard about the new addition to the family is he potty trained? And there is a lot of good advice and tips for dogs in the internet might try that. How is tanner doing with the Chinese? So will he have to go live in China for a while like study there? I imagine the Barker house hold is super loud and busy right now with Tanner and with the new addition in the family. Lily is a good name I love that name.

Well I’m in Neuquén but like in Brazil I imagine. The city is broken up into barrios. (Neighborhoods) I live barrio Villa Ceferino. I live in the most northern part of my area. In my area we have 4 or 5 different barrios so ya I walk a ton every day but my calves are super toned right now ha-ha so ya that’s a plus and my legs are fine not sore or shin splints. In my area we have like a mall called the Anonima it’s like Karcher mall its hilarious and ya we shop and but hang out there every Monday it has a bowling alley and pool tables and its super funny they play American music so ya that’s awesome and oh man in the Anonima there is my greatest weakness. A movie theater ha-ha it’s my addiction to be so close and not be able to watch a movie and the other bad part is they have a big projector that plays movies by where you buy food and ya its hard not to watch. Now I’m used to not watching TV so ya I’m fine.

Most people in Neuquén work for oil companies so ya they have good money for them and the other is construction and impression I think it’s like factory work but I’m still trying to figure that out ha-ha. No its Spanish so it’s all crazy to me ha-ha but ya I’m moving along with the language. Well other than that nothing super new.

Love
