Hola y Wow September‏

Well hello and greetings everyone from good old argentina.



Well I hope that your guys weeks are good and that your having fun. Things here are going good. This week was a tough week but it was very helpful for me to see what I can do to get better. We did well this week but it could have been betterbut at least we worked hard and got some things done. It was a crazy week for being the last week of the transfer and with stake confrence things just got thrown around. We are still working with some families that we have been and we found quite a bit more as well. We found a family that there son got baptised and served a mission and now lives in the states for more than 14 years. They are really cool and they like to listen. We have a couple more that are progressing towards baptism but they lack a little bit more. We have one that is really really close to being baptised in the coming weeks. He just needs to find his desear and follow it. But things are going good for us down here and we keep working hard, like usual. Yesterday we only had two investigators in church and they are two kids that we are teaching. They liked it and they want to go more. It was a really good meeting yesterday and they want to continue to progress so they want to do anything. Apparently in November Elder D. Todd Christopherson is coming down to jujuy to see how the work is going so everyone wants to make a good appearnce for him so we have our work cut out for us.



Maybe you are wondering what happened to my comp and I this transfer. So to let you guys know we are both staying here for anouther transfer. Im excited to be with him for one more, because we have a lot set up for this month and I really wanted to stay with him for one more. He is a good kid and loves working and Im glad to be his comp for one more. But we are doing good and Im doing good. Im doing good and I keep working hard. Im still district leader and Im excited to help my district for one more time. Its weird to know that I might actually end my mission here in Jujuy, I dont mind but its weird to know that its right there in front of me. But for now I just have to worry about whats going on at the moment and that the end will come in time. Honestly time is going by so fast and I almost dont like it and I wish it would go a bit slower. Its weird seeing everyone I know going home and knowing that its going to be me in a little bit, but oh well. This week was an interesting week and it was strange. Yesterday we got chased by a drunk guy for about five minutes and it was super weird and freaky. He kept yelling Gringo, Gringo and asked for money. But we got rid of him and went home a different way. But everything is cool know. Today was and continues to be interesting. We got a call from the zone leaders at five in the morning asking if we could go over to thier pension and stay with one of them. So we got over there about six but the front gate was broken shut so we couldnt get in the appartment. We finally got it open around seven thirty and I went directly over to the terminal and my comp stayed there with him. So Ive been running around town with Elder Silva and Elder Johnson all day and its been quite the ride. We got togeather with the other zone leaders and played some pool, air hockey and fusball. So ya thats it for us here at the moment. Sorry for writting so early.



Well I hope that you all are doing ok and that youre enjoying school and work. Jayson I loved the video of you and your amazing smile, keep working on your camara skills. I wish the best for you all and I wish you a happy september.

What who said that I was 21 now!!!‏

I honestly cant believe that Im 21 now, but oh well and Greetings from down south!!





Well things have been pretty crazy this week, but it was a good one. We did a lot and we got a lot done. I think that this week was one of our best weeks, I loved it. We are still working with a lot of our investigators and some of them are closer than last time and some we have dropped. We are working with a lot of the same families and they are going good. The main family that we are teaching are progressing and they want to get baptized but they need to get married first. We found quite a bit of people and we taught quite a bit as well. Yesterday we had four people in church, three of them we were exptecting and the other we did not expect at all. But it was really nice and there were quite a bit of members there as well. But things went good this week and we are looking forward to this week being a good one.





We are doing go and we keep working hard here in Jujuy. My comp is pretty much amazing and keeps working hard like usual. This week was pretty hecktic and we ran all over the place. I did divisions with the zone leaders and then anouther companionship the next day. After that I was pretty dead tired and wanted to work in my own area. My comp and I worked hard this week and we completed with every goal except baptisms. We are looking to do it again this week and make bigger strides in everything. We taught 33 lessons this week and its the most that we have done here, I was happy. The weather here has been pretty crazy and pretty hot. It looks like we are in or going into summer, weird. There is wind but its a hot wind and it makes everything just misserable. But we still keep on pushing. In church I have a calling basically, music cordinator. So every sunday Im up front leading the music. Im learning to play the piano, so that may come in handy some time. You will never guess what I like now.... Peanut butter. I found it down here and every morning I eat some, wierd. Thanks for the package and I love it all, especially RUN FOREST RUN!! Today was interesting. We had a party/lunch with the family that lives in front. We made pizza and had a good time. Like every party, apparently I got hit with eggs, flour, and barbique sauce, it was mighty lovely. I got hit in the mouth with an egg and it cut up my gums a little bit, but its all good.





Sounds like you guys are doing good and are enjoying everything up there. Thanks for everything. God luck with all that you do, and Jayson good job on soccer. Dad i loved the pics and Happy late birthday, I found you something here,dont worry. I love you all and Im greatfull for all that you do.

Hola y saludos de Argentina!!‏

Well hello family and friends. I hope that youre all good!!

Wow, I cant believe that this last week went by this fast, too fast. But things are going good and we seem to be having some progress in a lot of areas. This week we had quite the week for us but it was a good hard week, but I felt good about it. We have many people who are progressing towards baptism but they lack just a little bit more. We taught and found quite a bit of people, so with most of the results I was happy with it. We have a few that are closer than others but they are all about there. Yesterday we had five people in church, I was happy. Sad thing is that we cant baptise a couple of them because theyre not married but we are working on that with them. I think the big problem is that most people dont get married because they think that they need a party or that there are a lot of people who get married and then a while later get divorced. So we have to tell them that its a commandment that we need to get married and there is no need for a party. But things are going good. We have an investigator that is amazing and we found here about three weeks ago and she is now in 2 Nephi in her reading, amazing!! So we have a lot going for us here in Jujuy.

And now as for my comp and I we are good. My comp is still doing good and still is pushing me to work hard these last months. He gets frustrated but he calms down and listens to help people. He is an amazing cook and he makes stuff out of nothing. This last week we didnt have lunch at all with any of the members, so we were by ourselves, but we survived. Im doing ok. This week was good and full of surprises for me, lots of them. My knee has been acting up but I just push through it and try to go on with it. I had to do a couple interviews this week and they went well and they got baptised. I worked with Elder Roca this week and it was like old times but better. But we are doing good and we keep going onwards. Today was a relaxing day and we did quite a bit. This morning my comp and I cleaned the whole pension, and its spotless. And then we are trying to fix a leak and we ended up having a fight we the plumbing, water everywhere. But it was a good day and a good week. Now I get to do divisions with two other companionships tuesday and wendsday in anouther area, what fun. But things are going good and seem to be getting better.

Sounds like you guys are doing good and are enjoying your time. Mom and Jayson good luck with school and have fun. Thats cool that seth and I might be traveling togeather, we will see. I love you guys and yes I got your package, but Im waiting till next monday to open it. Thanks for everything that you do.

Tan rapido pasa el tiempo!!‏

Well hello family and friends from good old Argentina!!



Wow I cant believe that this week ended and that we are starting a new week. This week was a good week for us here in Maiano Moreno. Things aregoing good and we seem to have some things going for us here. This week was a better week than last week and I was happy with what we did. We found quite a bit of people that like what we teach and want to learn more. So Im happy to see that there is some what of progress here. Yesterday we only had one investigator come to church, the only consistent one. See came last week with her kids and yesterday as well. They love church and the kids, ages 8 and 7, love it and ask if they can come back every sunday. They are a really cool family and they love it. The husband is a member but hasnt gone in years and we are teaching the wife and the kids. They want to get baptised but the only thing that is hindering them is that they arent married, but we are working on that. So things are going good and I like what is happening. President changed the goals of the mission and made it so that we are focusing more in the people we teach and actually want to help them. So things are going good.



As for us in other news, we are good. My comp still is a stud and keeps pushing me to get better and Im pushing him as well. We have a good companionship going here and I hope that we continue to work hard these next weeks. We keep pushing each other and the other elders as well. For me Im doing good and trying to keep up with my comp. I did divisoins on monday and tuesday last week with the zone leaders and it went well. I was with Elder Oviedo, from chile, and we got quite a bit of work done and I was happy. We taught an older man who is almost deaf and it went rather interesting. We basically screamed the whole lesson but I liked it and I had fun doing it. My knee is doing alright and Im trying to hold on. It gets tired faster and starts to get sore but I try to push through it and keep working and my comp is helping me a lot with it. This week we got contacted quite a bit but it wasnt normal; the majority of them were drunk and wanted to talk with us and try to help them. All that we can do is tell them that they need to leave the alcohol and grow closer to God. But this week should be a good week and hopefully better than last week. We have interviews with President this week and Im looking forward to them.



Sounds like you guys are doing good and that you are enjoying your time before school starts, for those who go to school. Uncle Brian get better and try not to be to friendly to those wasps, they have one here that will put you in the hospital for a while. I love you all and I love your letters every week. the package is in Salta so I have to wait until wendsday to get it, should I wait till my b-day to open it? Thanks for everything you do and for your love. Tell everyone that I say hi.

Last week's letter .. Aug 8th

Well greetings good old family and friends!!





I cant believe that time keeps on flying by here in Argentina. Things are going good and we seem to have some things going for us. This week was a tough week, but it also was a good one. It was a harder week for us but we worked through it and we got some work done. We had a hard time working and finding new people to teach but we have some plans to help with that. We only found one new investigator this week and I got somewhat frustrated. We are working with some really good people and they seem that they have a huge desear to change for the better. Yesterday we had four investigators in church, all we different ones from last week. We even had one stand up and give his testimony. It was super cool and surprising. My comp and I werent expecting it at all but it was really nice. He asked for help from the members in his journey, so it was really good. So we have some things going for us here in Moreno but it will be sometime I think. We have people that are progressing but it will take some time but its all good.





Well as for my campanion and I are doing, we are doing good. He is a stud and loves to work and motivate me to work. We work good as a team and I like being here with him. The thing about this area is that we dont have a lot of lunches, so we end up cooking here at home. And another good thing about my comp is that he loves to cook and is an amazing cook. Yesterday we, mostly him, cooked up some good chicken and dumplings. So Im learning a lot from him about different foods and how to make them. Im doing alright, but like usuall could be better. My knee is doing alright, but its starting to give me more problems. Yesterday I had to stop working because I couldnt walk anymore. But Im trying to take care of it but its all a matter of time I believe. Yesterday I ran into Rodrigo`s mom, Helita. It was so good to see her, she even said that I´ve gotten bigger, I dont know? But things are going good here.





Sounds like you guys are doing good and are enjoying your time. I loved the pics and sounds like it was fun, so HAPPY B-DAY JAYSON!!! I love you all and I wish the best for all of you.

What Agosto!!‏

Elder Wade, Elder Roco, and Elder Lessing and family of girl that he baptized

Elder Lessing- Birthday

Wow I honestly cant believe that we are now in August!! Greetings!!





Well hello family and friends and greetings from good old Jujuy! This week was a good week for all of us here in Jujuy. It was a good week but it had a few crazy trips in it as well. I love my new area and I believe that its going to be a good one. This area is in the middle class and its the first time that Im really, almost, in centro. We have quite a few investigators that look like they are making progress and are close to baptism. The are in reality is pretty small but the thing about it is its all on a hill. So everyday we are climbing or walking down the hill. So if you can tell my knee starts to get really tired towards the end of the day, but its all good. The craziest thing that I had to do this week was an interview. But it went well but she wanted me to baptise her, wierd, but I ended up baptising her. It was super wierd and kind of awkward, but it went well. But things are going good and they should be getting better here in Moriano Moreno.





Well as for my comp and I we are doing good. My comp is a stud and he loves to work and also have a good time. It was his birthday on saturday so we were trying to have a good time and we did. Today we celebrated his birthday with the member family that live in front of us. It was a good time and we ate asado, BBQ, and an awesome cake. The tradition here is to throw eggs, flour and whatever else at who ever is celebrating his birthday, so we did it to my comp. It was a blast and I took some pics so I will send them to you guys. As for me Im doing good. The interview was for the zone leaders, who are in my district, and they said that it was cool for them for me to baptise her. So I didnt even have a full week in my area and I was already baptising. But Im doing good and Im enjoying my time here in Jujuy. Our weather has been pretty crazy down here, first hot and then this weekend was super cold and raining. But it should be better this week.





Sounds like you guys are doing good and that you are enjoying your time up there. I loved the pics and you guys look good. Good luck with all that you do and enjoy everything. I love you guys anbd I wish the best for all of you.

Hola!! Wow 20 months!!‏

Well hello everyone up north!!!



Wow I cant believe that we have completed anouther week here in Argentina. Honestly things seem to be going by way to fast but I guess thats life. But thisg week was really good for us here in Santa Ana. We worked hard this week and we got a lot of things accomplished. We have a couple of investigators that are progressing and a couple more that seem that they have more intrest in it all. This week we actually worked lot with some less actives and it seems that we could do some good with them. Most of them and they havent been to church in about a year. But things are going good and it seems to be becoming better. Yesterday at church we finally had an investigator in church. It was the kid that we´ve been trying to contact but we have the hardest time doing it. We almost had anouther one in as well, but her kid ended up getting sick and couldnt come. But we had more people in church and it was special because there were a couple that came back from the temple in Uruguay. So yesterday was good and we found a guy that even told us that we wanted to be baptised and join the church.



And as for us we are doing good. My comp and I are working good together and we seem to be progressing. On tuesday we did divisoins with the zone leaders and I was with elder Bendall from Utah. So it was a good time to be with him and I learned a lot from him. This week wasnt to bad but we had to make time to do things. We got invited to two different birthday parties and we only could go to one of them. It was the birthday of Fernando, a recent convert of 6 months. It was a good one and I talked for a while with one of his uncles who was semi drunk. It was interesting but I eventually started talking about the church and he changed the topic really fast. This week I have a leadership meeting this week with president and everyone else who is a leader. So that should be interesting and I bet that Im going to learn a lot. Im doing good and I keep working hard to keep going. My knee is alright and hasnt given me to many problems this week but it does everyonce and a while. Today we didnt do to much other than go to the offices and pick up the mail. After that we went to the church in Tribuno, other area, to play sports. I didnt do much other than serve some volleyballs and play volleyball. But ya things are going good and seem to becoming to end for the transfer. We have transfers next monday but I dont think anything will happen but who knows.



Well it sounds like you guys are good and that your enjoying your time up there. Mom good luck with your paper and enjoy your summer. Dad I loved the pics thanks. I love you all and Im so gratefull for everything that you do for me. Take care.
