Dear Family, first off, when i say i lost a few pounds does not mean i have worms haha. i just lost some weight because its way hot and we are working our butts off. but anyway with the investigators they are doing way good because we had 6 people in the church yesterday haha. it was fun to see because finally our hard work pulled off. but we got one of our best investigators to go to church yesterday and she loved it. by the end of church she was telling me in a few months she is going to be moving closer to the church so she is way excited it will be a lot easier for her to go. yesterday for church we took her in a taxi so they didnt have to walk 45 minutes. but it was amazing cuz we met her only a week ago and usually in argentina it takes a while to get the investigators going to church. so she has a baptism date for 28th of march. and that will be the soonest baptism we get. i cant remember if i told you but we had to give all of our other investigators to elder guerra and his comp, because they didnt have any work. so the last couple of weeks we have just been rebuilding. and now we are getting some pretty cool investigators again. but anyway wednesday or something we had a family home evening and we were going to play a game and for some reason i just felt like we shouldnt so we said goodbye and started walking to the pensh and then 2 people stopped us and said that they had a question. the lady started telling us she wanted to get taught the missionary lessons. so we set up a time. went by the house, gave her a baptismal date and she accepted it immediately, it was crazy. so yep we are seeing miracles. but with one member in particular we saw a miracle. we were teaching to share the gospel with her aunt and then we starting teaching about planting the seeds and all of her work right now will be for the future and she started crying so we finished the lesson. then later that day we started teaching that lady that asked us if she could recieve the lessons from us and when we went by to teach the lesson she told us she was a cousin of that member that we went by that morning teaching her about planting the seed. so then we finished the lesson with that investigator by putting a baptismal date, then we went to the church because there was an activity and we talked to the member that was crying in our lesson and we told her we just taught her cousin and put a baptismal date with her. and she just got so happy she started telling me ELDER ELDER thats why you were teaching me the lesson of planting the seeds because 3 years ago i taught her with the missionaries she was a seed that i planted, now shes going to get baptized!!! haha, so she was so happy it was just funny. and by the end of the night she was telling the other 3 elders that i was her favorite missionary. so it was pretty funny. but that was our week, so it was a pretty good one. about paul winklemen telling you that you were kissing ( ) he is a punk. dont worry i will beat him up when i get home too. elder guerra always gives us crap saying that we are robots in the mission and saying other things about us, but he just says that because we are working while he isnt and we are doing the things we should be while he isnt. so maybe paul should be doing things a little better too. yeah i would invite chris to dinner only when nikki and lance are there. and dont worry dad i miss golfing too so we will go when i get home. and i am 99.9 percent sure that i am going to suu when i get back home so no one has to worry about me not going there. and no mom i am not going to the U haha i am sorry. and i am sorry about all the money that i used all the money that month, we only get lunch from 2 members a week now becuase elder guerra talks bad about us in front of members so yeah we dont have lunch too much anymore. but i will do better this month. and yes i got the pictures from last week. thank you so very much they are always different and i always love them. but i love everyone so much and send me grandpas e mail so i can e mail him. have a great day. oh ps thanks for jeffs letter, i loved it, keep sending them its fun hearing from him. Kelsey, what the heck does ambassador of the shcool mean? freak, by the time i get home you are going to be running the whole school. but explain to me what it is. my english isnt as good as it was. My comp will sometimes be telling me a story and i will have to ask him what a word in english means because there are a lot of similar words but some of them have different meanings. but i am still going to suu so dont worry. and yeah elder guerra acts like you 2 are getting married and on the photos that i have to show to members, i showed members and they asked me why there were hearts on your pictures and i looked above it and it said elder guerras girl. so dont write him!! if he keeps writing and you feel bad for not writing, write back when i am not living with him anymore. thank you chou!! oh and i didnt get your cd yet, but we will seelove ya!!
