It is what it is...

By the way, this pic of all the jugs...it is what you think it is. Apparently you can sell your pee!

Capilla Abierta

Hi Family,
Well, yes, we did have our Capilla Abierta (church open house) this weekend. It was a great turnout. Many members came and there was refreshments! It's too bad though that not one of our investigators came. Not one! They promised they would! We even had invitations. It was actually pretty sweet too. We had the projector and showed a short movie of the Church and it's history etc. All the organizations set up rooms to show what they are and what they do. Afterwards we ate and drank hot chocolate. We found 3 investigators that a member brought but turns out they weren't all that interested after all. It's too bad. But the good thing is , is that we had all the support of the members which was nice. The whole point was to get a bunch of references. We even had the Elder's from Ezeiza come. But what can you do!

Nothing cool or exciting really happened this week. Just a regular week of work. I wish I had some cool stuff to say but I feel like not too much has happened. This will be my first transfer without a single baptism. The people we had ready didn't come to Church on Sunday so we are going to have to push their baptismal date back. Even if they would have come I'm not sure if they would have been ready. But it still stinks that they didn't come.

This is my comps last week in the mission. He will be going with Elder Evans from his MTC group so me and Elder Spence are going to work together. It will be choice. He was in my district in the MTC. I like the kid even though he says golf isn't a sport! I look past his flaws haha. We will have fun!

So, I'm attaching the pics of the activity. I guess Hermana Jolley (Evan Jolley's sister) was in the same ward as the Daniels. She was excited to know that Jill be coming to Argentina. Well, read your scriptures, go to Church and serve someone. I love you. The Church is true!

Elder Arroz con leche!






This is the Familia Villagra.

District meeting out in Canuelas...




We had district meeting out in Canuelas and had to wait for the train for awhile. That explains Jensen riding' the barrel. The other pics are of our train ride on the way back. We had a long cita (discussion) this week with a guy that doesn't believe in God. But then, he blames God for everything because his life is terrible. I can't hardly stand to talk to people like that. It just bugs me so bad. They think that everything is bad...every single thing. I don't understand how he can say that, especially sitting right across the table from his mom. I'm just so glad to have my family. Wow...we are so lucky! I love the Gospel and I want everyone to have it in their lives so that they can also have these blessings. It's crazy how much this guy needs the Gospel. He was put in our path thanks to a member, but he just won't do his part. It's just so sad. He told us this time that that he will read and ask God if He really exists. If he doesn't get his answer (or lies about getting his answer) we will just have to drop him. I'm sorry to tell you all this, it's just been bugging me.
