Well thanks for the email. Sounds like everything is going great over there. I have a few pictures to send. I don't think I've sent these ones. If I did you'll have to forgive me, ha ha.
So the pictures are of Castex. I don't think I ever finished sending all of them. So I hope you enjoy those ones. I am still in Tres Arroyos. They didn't kick me out yet. And I am happy about that. I like it here.
Elder Morel did leave. He is in Tandil. The new Elder in the district is Elder Parkes. From California. Seems like a really good kid. He has about 5months. He served for a while in the states waiting for his visa. He was in South Carolina.
So actually the baptism of Fernando should be this week. He had to work all weekend this last one. So we decided to wait a week longer so he could get the Holy Ghost Sunday. We hope it all goes well with him.
Fransisco, the things got more complicated. He went to a party last weekend and got himself a girlfriend. He still wants to get baptized, but now he doesn't want to see why he has to keep the law of chastity. We only could talk to him once last week. We have an appointment tonight with him. We hope it goes well.
Alright on to some pretty good news from the last week. Honestly the start was a killer, we didn't have many good things happen. But by the weekend everything went pretty well really.
So lets see, Saturday night, we had a pretty sweet little miracle. It was 8 at night and the two appointments we had both fell. So we went by Flia Garcia , a less active family we have been working with. The Grandparents have a house in front, then a about 4 family of Garcia live behind them, ha ha. We stopped by the Grandparents. The grandma can't go cause she can't move. But the Grandpa could. We got into the house and one of the Grandsons and his wife were there. When they saw us the Grandson told us ¨hey, my wife wants to get baptized so we can get sealed in the temple.¨ My companion and I were almost speechless. That doesn't happen everyday. So we sat down and had a chat. His wife, Julia, apparently has talked to the missionaries before and is now halfway through the Book of Mormon. She already knows it is true. It was perfect. So they decided to go to church on Sunday as well.
So at church Julia went with the Hermano Garcia, and bunch of the young kids that live back there. That was great. Also in the church, we had a investigator named Lucas. He liked the church a lot. Then Flia Tolosa went. Wow. I was super surprised when I saw the hermano Tolosa walk in the door, haha. So at church we had lots of people there. I think we had about 55 members which is better then the 30 we usually have. We were pretty happy. So was the District President.
We also are in the process of changing Branch Presidents. Presidente Gomez got released. They haven't called a new one yet. For now the District is in charge of it.
So we had a pretty good week after all. Seems to me like lots of good things are going on. Elder Cuadras and I are pretty stoked. There is a lot of work to do here and some good things are opening up for us.
Sweet so you guys are going to live in a super small town, ha ha. That should be fun, eh? There better be Elders there. I mean the Sisters are great. But I would like to work with the Elder in Tennessee. I hope you had a good experience with the sister missionaries. Hope they treated you well, ha ha.
Izzy is Pregnant? Finally, I was wondering what they were doing up there in Texas. That's crazy, the only one who is not having a kid right now is me and you guys. Crazy eh?
Well, thanks for the update and your friendly support. I am excited for General Conference and such. Should be good.
Well have a good week. I'll see if I can send more photos.
Con amor y un beso para todos.
That's some good Argentine Spanish.
