Hey, I hope all is going great back home. Things were pretty great. This week we were able to see Gabriela and Milagros get baptized. Crlso and Pedro are lined up as well for the coming weeks. Today is the first day of transfers and tomorrow the mission party, super excited for that. I think that we are gonna have a big mission wide secret santa thing so I’m pumped not too sure what ill buy, but I remember last year I was able to find a horse head statue, so ill be definitely keeping my eye out for that today. Thankfully for this transfer Elder Bullock and I will be staying together and I’ll be able to finish his training. We have been having a blast together, he is for sure a favorite comp of mine. We spent a lot of time talking about the future, we wanna live in the Dominican Republic together for a bit, hahaha. In our free time we have also been playing a ton of chess and we have been making some cool discoveries in the Abrahamic circle things that everyone occasionally looks at. It’s actually pretty cool. Everything has been pretty great I’m not sure what else so say. Time has been passing faster than ever and I think it really hit me this passed week how fast 10 months will fly by. I learned a lot of cool stuff about faith this week. It’s crazy how deep some basic doctrines can go but at the same time they’re just super simple. That’s why I love the church, there are just always so many things to learn about. I love ya fam I hope you guys have a great week. exactly one until we get to skype!!!!!!

Great week this week, all is still going well in Ferrari. People are wanting to get baptized so I guess will be having a white Christmas here in Argentina if you know what I mean. It still sounds like Pres. Resek will be baptizing one of our converts on the 23^rd so that is awesome. Gabriela and Milagros should be getting baptized as well this Saturday. Their both sisters and they have been taught by us for a while but they have been finally able to get out to church so life is great. Interviews were great. It was funny cause I didn’t get my interview until 10 at night so we obviously got back a little late to the pench but it was all chill. President is a great guy. Every interview he always finds some way to just blow my mind and make me feel like I’m doing great. We just got back from a killer district meeting with the zone leaders and I think it went well. We did a practice that was basically like a big scripture chase for answering possible questions that investigators have. This one scripture got pulled out from 1 Nephi 13:22 and we all had a great laugh about that one. I hope all is going great with the fam. I love you guys so much!!!!

I’m sure I say this a lot, but THIS was the best week of my mission so far; it was soooooo good. To start it all off at the beginning we had a great zone conference. At the lunch break president took us all to Carmens, which is a pretty nice restaurant in the city and we could basically order anything that we wanted, so I got some sort of pork chop thing. This zone conference was great because I got the chance to see a lot of people I haven’t been able to see in such a long time. I got to see Elder Ruiz and we got a chance to catch up at Carmens. Thankfully he is doing just great. After the zone conference Elder Franco got all his stuff packed up and a remis came to pick him up and he got sent to the offices. The funny thing is he left around 7pm and it takes about 30 minutes in a remis to get to the offices, so just before 9:30pm as we are getin back to the pench I get a call for the secretary and there all freaking out, like asking when did Elder Franco leave because they couldn’t find him. (Elder Franco was sent to the Ramos Mejia at a place other than the offices without a phone hahah) Thankfully in the middle of the night they were able to find him and he got home all good.  At the same time Elder Burk came in to replace Elder Franco. Elder Burk just finished his training a few weeks ago so now he is finishing Elder Garcias last few weeks of training. This all means that in total our experience as missionaries in time, is less than 2 years with all of our time combine between the four of us hahaha. So I feel a little like I’m training three missionaries but thankfully they’re all hard working guys and we all get along great. We also got a ton of investigators getting baptized this month and yesterday we had the stake conference of Marcoz Pax so all these people came to speak like the temple president and his wife, president and hermana resek and this seventy named Elder Salas so it was a super awesome day! Carlos (one investigator who is the head of his member family and is getting baptized just before Christmas) went up to President Resek after the meeting and straight up asked him to do his baptism!!! President Resek was pumped for it, I was pumped for it, Elder Bullock was pumped for it and so we were all pumped for it and we are all still pumped for it. We even had our ward missionary leader go and get a baptismal date for December from an investigator that rejected our first invitation! super awesome. Pday was also good this week and it was pretty chill Elder Bullock and I just played chess the whole day. loving the mission. I hope you guys are doing great back home have a great week!
