Transfers! bye bye Arco Iris and hello Bragado! We got the calls Saturday and I’m getting shipped far out to Bragado. It’s a little branch out in the middle of nowhere! I’m super excited for it though. My whole mission has been in the city, so it’ll be a nice change. I’ll be one of the counselors to the branch presidency too, so that will be interesting. Tomorrow I gotta go all the way to liners to take a big bus that will take almost 8 hours to get out there, so I think I’m gonna try to buy some melatonin or maybe a colouring book haha. It will be sweet though cause ill be traveling out there will one of my good Idaho friend Elder Burk! Road trip! My comp will be Elder Nash, he is from Utah, I’ve met him a few times and he seems like a great missionary! Were gonna do great I’m super excited. This week we had a baptism, I also went all the way out to Lobos and Elder Holmes and I had a killer day. For pday we spent most of our time traveling back home. Not much else happened though I’ve started saying some good byes and I really hope I can come back to this ward some day, its one of the best in the mish! I hope y’all are doing great!

Yesterday there was a huge holiday and we weren’t able to write home. This week we got a lot of stuff done. Elder Ruiz and I got asked to do some special divisions this week with a few elders and it was a lot of fun. We were able to find a ton of new people to teach. We found so many people in the craziest of ways and we had some really awesome lessons but at the end of the week no one showed up at church. We got a ton of more divisions this week so we should be able to find a ton more new people. Today I’ll be heading out to Lobos, which is a 3 hour train ride, to work with Elder Holmes. It might be really cold out there but he is a great missionary and we will have a great time! Other than that this week was a good ole work week; I’m happy with it. This is the last week of transfers so that could mean that I’ll be leaving the zone of Marcos Paz, its crazy to think that I have been here so long, ever since the end of September I got to Ferrari with Elder Ruiz. I hope you all have a great week.

This week went by with a lot of flashes. In mission terms, the word flash means when you get shipped out to a different area before transfers. What happens is president or the AP’s call you and tell you to pack your bags cause in less than an hour a taxi is gonna come and pick you up. Normally you go all alone in the taxi too which is super weird but so the other elders that were living with us got flashed out. Elder Hidalgo and Elder Chamberlian are long gone. It’s pretty crazy too because transfers are in two weeks and so now Elder Ruiz and I have the best area in the mish by ourselves. It’s gonna be super sick. This week Argentina beat Nigeria in the world cup but also lost against France and that was the craziest I have ever seen the streets here haha out of nowhere your walking down the street and people come running out of their house either screaming and beating each other up or also screaming and kissing each other hahah. Elder Ruiz and I got invited into this one house during the game against France and that was super crazy just lots of drugs and crazy people haha. Thankfully now that their out its a lot more easier to teach people. So far the work has slowed down a bit, we arn’t sure why but we are stickin with it. I hope your guys week was cool too love you all.
