It was so good to talk to you all last week. I felt like it was too short as soon as we hung up, but I don´t think you will ever feel like it was long enough until you are sitting right next to each other. But you all look really good! I was expecting to see some changes with the house or something, but it looked about the same to me. Maybe a little movement with the furniture. But ya it was really fun to get to talk to all of you and just hear you all. I miss the family parties. I mean sometimes we didn´t learn anything, but all the times we learned how to love.- Out of the Mouths of Babes. But anyway it is just fun to do stuff with the family eventhough we didn´t do anything special apart from dinner. It made me miss food from home that was for sure seeing you cooking stuffs, but that is part of the experience no?
I am still having a lot of fun here. I found a cool sweatshirt from the copa America which is the cup they play every two years, and then the other they play the world cup. But each team does a different jersey and something just like the world cup and so there aren´t any things left from it. But we went to this place and the lady had a couple more jackets from it, that I have been really wanting for a long time. And so I had to buy it. It was a little spendy, but not too bad, because I got a ten percent discount from her too. So that was cool and I have a jacket that I really like. Also I found a fake jersey of Godoy Cruz which is the City I am in right now that I like, for like 10 bucks so I felt like it was a good price for something that I can wear and not worry about anything happening to it. But still like it. So that was fun. We were supposed to go roller blading today, but the assistents had to go to a baptism, so we are going to go next saturday. There is a guy that is a sponsored roller blader and so he is getting a ton for us to use. I mean at home they aren´t that much money, but here they are a ton. So we are looking forward to that.
Also next saturday we will be having a baptism of this lil´old lady that we have been teaching. She is really cool and just has the desire to be baptized. So we have been working with her and will be baptizing her on saturday if all goes right. I am really excited for that. It makes it all worth it. For anything that you have to sacrifice to help someone get to that point, as soon as they get there it makes it all worth it. I mean even if they don´t make it, for some sad reason, it still is worth it. But it makes you a lot happier when you are baptizing and seeing the work flourish. We have a ward that is not really working together, more like not working at all, so we take the few people that we can and are trying to bring new faces in so that people will want to help. But we will see if anybody feels like trying.
So I am loving it still and hope to love it for all of my time that I have been given here. It is still an endless place of learning. As soon as you think you have something down, you get hit with ten more things that humble you back down and make you start over. But it is great, I love being on a mission. And I know it is the best spot for me to be right now in my life. I love you all and had a great time on Sunday. I hope you all did too! Thanks for everything, I love you all! Have a great week!
Love,

P.S. Mom I would really like a black and a white watch like those if it isn´t a hassel or expensive. And you may as well throw in the orange one while your at it haha.
