Fun Stuff

So one thing that was interesting is... so this week every morning I've been hearing a ton of birds!!! I mean a ton like thousands so I finally went out side and to my surprise I saw thousands of parrots heading north to Brazil for the winter. That's something ha-ha they are really loud but super pretty they are totally green but super cool! Some people here have parrots for pets but I didn't know that they are from here in Argentina. Mmmm so my comp right now is a trial of my faith and patience because he doesn't want to work is a little disobedient. He is from Uruguay and be speaks really well in English but we only talk in Spanish because I'm really trying to get good in Spanish. We are teaching a old man named Mario Pintos that had a stroke 4 years ago that really wants to get baptized and has received his answer about the Book of Mormon, but his family wont let him.... so ya its a problem we are trying to work on. he might be baptized this Saturday but we will have to see. When we are in the street we play games in Spanish and kick stones ha-ha. Well I will finish the list next P-day I'm running out of time ha-ha.

 

How is Cody with everything? I remember time was really weird right before the mission it went by so quick and I tried so hard to make good memories with my friends and family before I left.  I'm awesome about to get one year and I'm really happy the mission is truly the best two years of my life! There are moments when I want to sit down and do nothing but I remember those moments when I felt the spirit and I'm always trying to find moments to feel it again. Well tell everyone in the family I love them and miss them and wish Cody good luck in his mission.

Mission Calls

So before I forget I finally have joined the club in the mission...... hmmm what club is that ? well the club is broke because we have all been robbed ha-ha ya me and my comp were robbed Friday night. ha-ha don't worry mom I didn't lose a single thing hhahah but my comp ya he lost a lot. ya I'm not happy about that but I'm glad I wasn't robbed. so Friday in the evening we had a ward activity in the church and after we went home to sleep. So around 1230 my comp wakes me up saying that there is some one in the kitchen robbing us.... so I get up grab a big stick that we have in the apartment to protect our selves and head to the kitchen. And what does my companion do? he jumps into his sleeping bag and pulls it over his head and try's calling the police. so I went to war alone ha-ha so I entered the kitchen and it was empty but the door was wide open and the police showed up and scared them off. so ya they only had moments to steal so they only grabbed the backpack of my comp and ran. so ya it was interesting.... I'm blessed nothing of mine was stolen. But now we have to get a new door and make it super strong and put a metal screen door on too. but other than that all is well! I'm staying here for another transfer with my comp...... ya I'm not super happy about this but oh well its part of the mission. Wow that's awesome Lupi is going to love that mission and what language is she going to speak ? so ya once you find out about Austin let me know.

 

ya I got the card thank you mom i thought I wrote  that in my last card but I guess not..... sorry. Was there a lot of people at Cody's talk? I imagine there was a lot Cody is super good with people. so what did you guys eat? so what is the weather like in this part of Mexico? so who is the friend of Chelsey? he looks really old? ya imagine the only letters Cody will get in Mexico will be in the MTC or emails. and how are dusty and Holly? dusty is living with grandma right? What time is seminary? and man I loved debate so much i love to argue as you know ha-ha! Emma would love it and the teacher is super awesome really pushing her student's to be better and think. Tyler Hatch really loves her a lot. haha its like Lilo and stitch they weren't the perfect family but there was love at time some anger but they learned a lot from one another. my family isn't perfect but there isn't a perfect family I have learned so much in my life from you and dad I am the product of a great mom and dad. I'm so proud of my family and who I am. I'm miss my family so much and I'm so excited to be a missionary and a member of the church! its crazy this transfer I will reach one year in the mission. i have learned so much its crazy!!!!! well is well her.

June!!!

I know I cant believe that it is almost one year or 365 days ha-ha! I keep asking myself where is the time going? this week I have done a lot of personal meditation about what type of man/ missionary I want to be?, am I truly changing or just for the mission? it something I love about the mission the time I have to think about who am I.

 

Things are still hard with my comp but I really worked hard and we had really good numbers this week and we found some new people to teach. Also this week we might have a baptism so ya I'm really praying that Mario feels ready to get baptized. ya I'm going to burn the shirt I ruined in the airport (the ink). I realized once I got here (my area) I only have 3 long sleeve shirts and I started with 6 yaaaa I'm not sure what happened. but I should be fine winter here isn't that bad and I'm not washing very much. but the movie Ephrams rescue would be awesome. and ya I was really humbled when I came to Argentina and I imagine that tanner is really learning a lot about the world and being humbled too. and that is good his roommates are members too. well wish Cody good luck for me and tell Emma I say hi and all is good here in the land of the sun.
