Hey Mom!!!

Yes don't worry, the package (coat) made it here last week and I gave it to the kid. He was way stoked. . .wears it in the house sometimes. . . he gave me the money for it so I don't know what you want me to do. . . you want to just take that money out of my account for it or whatever, just let me know.

My week was great!!! It rained here too during the beginning of the week but now its just really cold lately!!! We had stake conference this week and Two of the twelve and two of the Seventy came and spoke in Buenos Aires and they broadcast it to all of Argentina. Because of this we couldn't announce the baptism of our investigator in sacrament so we spent a lot of the week running around our area inviting everyone---talk about crazy!!!!

We talked with Monica during the week to find out who she wanted to do the baptism and who for the confirmation. . . we had been hoping she would say her son who is a recent convert of like 6 or 7 months and is a priest. . . but she asked me if i would do it!!!! We were hoping she would want her son to do it but I'm not gonna lie---I was stoked!!! On Saturday, the 20th, we had the baptism at 4:30, it went great and it was amazing being able to get into the baptismal font and baptize someone!!! Then on Sunday, Elder Perez did the Confirmation!!! I have pictures and tried to send them but the computer won't read the camera so that i can send them so I will wait until I get the thumbdrive in the next package.

TELL MATT HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

That's crazy that everyone else is getting ready to leave now (friends/missions) and I'll already have a year in three more months. It's so crazy how the time flies by!!! Oh yeah transfers. . . I'm staying here in Neuquen for at least another 6 to 7 weeks with my same companion so nothing changed. We'll be working hard to find some new people to teach. I love this area so I'm stoked that I am able to stay another transfer. I was getting worried that I was going to be leaving already.

That's good Matt is finally working! (at the Church Print Center in Salt Lake) How is he liking it and is he making decent money there?

Don't worry about the package. there's no big hurry. Just when you send it, just tell me so I know to be expecting it.

Let me know how the interview at the new job goes!!!!

Love You!!!!
Your Elder Johnny Berghout
