Hola familia!
Wow week one was so great already! Time is flying already and
we are working super hard!
So the moment of truth.... I am serving in Rosario! I am in
the city here and it is awesome! Its a big change from Hendersonville but I
really like it a lot. My companion is Elder Peter Welsh and he is great. We get
along really well and we have been teaching a ton already. He is from
Bakersfield CA and he plays football for BYU. He has about 7 months left on the
mission and he is like perfect at Spanish so its super helpful. I have probably
already learned more Spanish here than I did in 6 weeks in NC. We are going to
try to go running every other morning.
Okay so i will have more stories about investigators next
week cause we have a big week planned but we are expecting and excited to see
some success (baptisms) here pretty soon so that is exciting. We actually have
one scheduled for the 27th of this month. His name is Joaquin and he is 9 and he
is a total stud!
Our apartment (pench) is actually really nice. I will send
pictures of it. It is 2 floors and we have 2 bathrooms. 1 is pretty much
just showering and using the toilet and the other is where we like get ready so
its pretty nice to have. We get lunch (the biggest meal of the day) pretty much
everyday here so it is super nice to be able to kinda get to know the members.
I mean other than a small language barrier... hah
Each month we get 500 pesos which is about 100 dollars. I
heard that is usually plenty so I wont be spending much of my personal money
now that I am here.
There are 2 recent RMs here who speak perfect english from
their missions in the states so other than my companion and other missionaries
they are the only ones I can talk to very much. One of them says he knew Elder
Radford in Washington DC. His name is Eric Martinez.
The flight was alright I slept for like half the time. I sat
with Hermana Andrews on the plane cause I had 2 empty seats next to me. It was
fun to catch up a bit. I got to talk to Zach Hixon on the phone one of my first
nights here and he said he is going to try to come say hi before he leaves
because he is going to visit an old area that is close to mine.
So as far as mail here, it sounds like just send things to
the Mission office and I will be able to get it all there. Most missionaries
have gotten multiple packages and they say its pretty save as far as actually
getting here with the contents still in it. I guess some smaller sized packages
are not quite so expensive so if you were to send me one... :) ................ My inserts slide around sometimes and
its annoying because of the ones I have right now.
Other news: I finished the Book of Mormon this week and that
was pretty good. I am now going to start reading in Spanish.
The drivers here are....CRAZY! holy cow it is unreal. There
are next to no rules so you can imagine. Surprisingly there are not many
accidents.
I love you all so much and I hope everyone is doing well!
You are in my prayers daily. Have a great week!

PS. Matte is gross, and there are soooooo many dogs here.
