No paved roads or anything like that.

Well my new area is called Barrio America b it was an area before but now we split it and made it two different areas. The city I live in is called Plottier it’s really pretty and really green, it’s like the country side super green and relaxed. My area is new construction but that means it’s a little different than American new construction. No paved roads or anything like that. In the city center of Plottier it’s really pretty. My area is also I guess dangerous cuz the members keep saying be careful and watch out.

 

Oh and they say don’t have appointments fare away from our house. So ya that’s good I’m not too worried we will be protected. But for now we are living in the city with other Elder’s cuz our pension isn’t ready for us we should be in our pension this week hopefully. We still need to finish our floors and get our beds and everything to live. But the ward is really small there were only 30 people in the church Sunday. The funny thing was we were the first people in the church the bishop was late so ya that gives a little hint to the ward.

 

So a big focus we are going to have this transfer is to get more members back active and help the active members stay active and help us get investigators. My area is huge we have a lot of little areas of house that are really spread out. So this transfer we will use a lot of buses when we can cuz some of the houses are 30 min away in the bus so ya it will be interesting. My new companion is a little frustrating to me he is from California and he has tons of money so ya he has his problems and I have mine. But the problem is he only talks in English to me so I’m super frustrated cuz I’m not progressing in the language. I told him I don’t want to talk in English but he doesn’t listen so I just try and only talk back in Spanish. Well will see if he can speak super well. He has around 7 months in the mission but only one month in Argentina. The rest of the time he was waiting in WV for his visa. Ya I write in my journal every day I’ve filled one up already and about to fill up another one its awesome it helps me a lot to write my thoughts about our investigators and problems.

 

That sucks about football I thought that this would be the year that they finally win state. Maybe next year and is chase mad about playing jv and wow Emma’s first stake dance I feel super old now. Did Emma have a good birthday? The pictures I don’t know how to send pictures I think I need to buy a different thing to upload pictures cuz the one I have I think is junk. I’m sorry to hear things are tough there in Idaho always remember that heavenly father prepares a way to pass through all challenges. Well that’s about everything new hope all is well.
