What up what up
first thomas keeps writing me and i feel bad i cant write back!!! so thomas if your reading this i cannot email friends only immediate family so email me your address and i would love to give you a shout out but i i have no way of doing that without your address. k any ways this week. proselyting this week was soooo tight we got a new area, banfield 2. super dooper rich nicer than the 801 probably we saw a porsche and about every 3 houses has a pool and there is gangs of wild dogs running around the streets. cobble stone streets nice houses all you need left is loud music and princess walking around and you have disneyland pretty crazy but its hard the people are not humble at all and its tough to teach but our part of banfield is alright. 2 cool experiences so one. this kid,elias about our age is across the street and we just say hi to him we have a goal to say hi to everyone we pass and so we say hi and than a couple minutes later we just hear in spanish ohla elderes venga! so we turn around and here is this kind scary looking kid piercings everywhere looked like some type of rocker haha and he just starts going off about him and his girlfriend having troubles and than points to his forearm and he has about 15 self inflicted cuts tempted risk of suicide? who knows he was talking way to fast but i know he was in trouble so he asked if i could say a prayer for him so right there in the middle of the street i said a prayer for this kid i dont know exactly what he needed or what he expected of me to say so i just went with the spirit and said whatever i could that i thought would make him feel better he wanted us to go to his house the next day but of course we are only out on saturdays so we told him that and he understood and he begged for us to come back saturday so i am pretty excited to see where that can go prime investigator this gospel can truly bless his life and i just pray everynight that me and my gringo companions can bring it to him in our broken castashayno if thats how you spell it haha. another experience its not nearly as cool but i dont know it made me feel good so we were headed back to the church to get picked up and we get there and the ward was having some activity and this little kid named ricardo just comes up to me with the biggest joy on his face for seeing us and we started talking to him and he was just so happy to see us and in turn it made me so happy haha i know it sound stupid but it was honestly so awesome just to see how happy he was to see the elders it made me that much more excited to get to uruguay and really meet the people there. mark your email i told you this already but to clarify. yes i have had ice cream here and yes i have visited a bakery my last area atalysa contained both an ice cream shop and a bakery and both were absolutely phenominal bakerys are everywhere though haha its just a matter of finding a good one. no need to worry about the food anymore my body is fully adjusted and doing fantastic haha sue yes i still get to play soccer everyday the latino this transfer are pretty awesome i liked my first group better but these elders are still fun i love each and every one of em. ummm other than that just another week ryan you and nicks outfits were awesome grandma sent me a picture of you and him. im sorry winter is coming up its middle of spring here and absolutely beautiful summer is just around the corner and its gonna get pretty toasty here soon its very hot today humidity doesnt help much either. the spanish part of things is starting to get harder and harder just cause now that we have gotten our milk its time for the meat. so just getting all the little stuff tuned up and sounding like a true latino i guess haha but i love reading and speaking in spanish its so much fun reading especially just cause i now understand it and i feel like im good at spanish when i read it out loud haha i have started the book of mormon in spanish and challenged myself to finish it before i leave the CCM. and i have done the math and i gotta do 8 chapters a day so far im staying on track i just gotta keep up the hard work haha oh also my teacher hermano catala is moving to utah in january and is going to look for a place to live he is getting married and he said he wants to stop by the barton house and meet you guys so if some little chubby latino that looks asian pops up on your doorstop sometime in december you know who it is haha he is a waaayy awesome guy you can just tell he was a stud of a missionary and dont worry he speaks perfect english probably better than me so no language barrier there haha. rybart hows that whole one date per month who was miss october? mary basketball season started? fill me in. sarah how was morp. sue your my best friend i love you i know i have a letter waiting for me from you my teacher this morning told me haha as soon as i log off the computer im gonna go grab it and read it. oh plus thats funny you ran into marilyn. where? what did you talk about? did you recognize each other? did she say how britt is doing? britt is way tight. carly was crackin baby girl? heather sorry the whole adjustment to your early morning class is rough you can always do what i do before my personal study in the morning say a lovely little pray asking for strength and guidance on what you should teach your students and that always seems to give me the energy but hey do as you please maybe a couple push ups to wake up? hey me and the other elders got talking this week hows the new season of community going? hilarioius im sure. that sucks to hear about RSL they were good but eh oh well. cameron and carter leave next wednesday thats pretty crazy im excited for them i always wonder how much different the argentina mtc is compared to the provo mtc evertime we watch a devotional from there and see all those people i say to myself im so glad im here and not there i just cant even picture myself there soo many people i know basically everyone here teachers and missionaries included its pretty cool it just feels like one huge big family. and its definately helping with the language a lot. i basically not understand what everyone is saying but i cant fully express myself the way i would like to it its super frustrating now just cause now that i actually know what my investigadors say to me and i cant tell em with the emotion and all the words i wanna tell em with cause im to busy thinking of what to say. oh john wrote me and email along with grandma that was awesome and way nice.
