Dear familywe had transfers but i didnt get transfered and neither did my companion. so this will be 6 months in this area. which is just fine for my. i love it. on sunday we had a huge change in the branch. president olsen put his 1st counseler as our president of the branch and now we have counselers and a mission leader. before we just had a branch president so it was kind of hard for him to do all the work by himself. president was saying that we got to change this branch and make it into a ward. so thats pretty exciting. we have quite a few investigators right now so hopefully they can make it to baptism. dad the city i live in is cruz del eje and we live on a corner and the 2 streets are eva peron and san luis. we are one street in front of the church. and no i have never had to go to a doctor or the dentist. and thank goodness i would be too scared haha. i have only gotten sick like 3 times on my mission. and thanks for the package i got it last week and it had way cool doctor pepper football shaped things in it. they were so amazingly delicious haha. so thanks a mountain!! ... a phrase in spanish hahah.... it means thank you a ton!! oh and i would prefer that you didnt send me anything for christmas so that i can buy souvineers for everyone. i think that would be a better christmas present then anything. theres a lot of cool things that you guys would love. its weird talking about that but oh well, i just dont want you to prepare any packages haha. i cant believe today i have 20 months. its just scary for me. but oh well. thanks for everything i love you all and thank you for being so supportive and praying for me and my investigators, i know that your prayers are working. the family that i baptized in my last area are doing great, they are the ward missionaries and they help so much giving references to the missionaries and helping them out. they are great. in about 6 months they are going to be able to be sealed in the temple. so that is way exciting. but i love everyone so much. and i am already out of money. we never have lunch with members so we have to buy everything and its really hard on us. hopefully it will change soon but we will see. on thursday we travel to a zone leader councel and president was telling me its going to be amazing and we are going to double the baptisms in the mission. love you have a good day

Dear Family i am sorry this will probably be the shortest letter of my mission. but it is the 5th p day of the transfer so me and my companion had to send a progress report on every 20 missionaries in the zone. so it took up a lot of time. this week went a lot better then last week. we found some pretty cool people that went to the conference. they said they didnt understand a lot of it but they loved seeing the prophet. and i dont know if i am wrong but i am pretty sure i say scott linda and jason in the last session of conference. did they go? cuz i told the ward i saw them and so it was pretty cool. hopefully it was them though haha, i am not sure. but anyway we had a good week, and it will be even better this week. my companions doing good, we get along but he is pretty weird. haha. but yeah its all good. i am sorry my letter was so short but i really didnt have time. my favorite talk was the talk by elder holland. its not as good in spanish hearing a translators voice but its still always good. i also loved president monsons talk about anger. sometimes we get mad at such stupid little things and make a big deal out of it. but i love everyone and have a good daychau!!
