Hey Mom!!!
Sounds like you guys had a great week camping ha ha!!!
Our investigators are moving along great the baptism for the 26th is still going good and also for the two fot he 10th of July!!! We had five people in church this week!!!
Our investigators that ahve baptismal dates for the 10th, invited us to eat lunch with them on Saturday and we were planning on doing a little service cleaning their yard. We went to their house Saturday morning and they were still sleeping which is crazy cause Argentina was playing in the world cup Saturday morning, that's why we had planned to do service cause no one was going to be opening doors for us if we went knocking and the president said we weren't to watch it. We soon found out as they woke up that they had not slept all night because during the day, the house had been broken into while they weren't there and they were scared that they might get robbed again. Talk about the way Satan tries to ruin everything but nope!, We did the service and helped them feel better and then Sunday, they came to church!!!
Wow!!!! That will be exciting, I am excited to find out where Matt will go!!!
Yeah, i'm sure that after Cameron has his license, he'll be driving more just having to take the class and test doesn't make it sound so exciting, ha ha!!! So will the yellow jeep be his to drive when he gets his license???
I wrote the Ballards, I thought that if I wrote them, they might write on email but I haven't heard anything.
Oh yeah, it's okay, I'm sure Grandma is busy!!!! I keep meaning to write her too but trying to find the time. . . even on p-day we are running around trying to make copies or something for the zone.
Anyways that's just about it. . . everything is going great!!!!
Love

Hey Mom!!!
Wow sounds like everything is going great!!! That's awesome that Matt ahs gotten his papers together and done his interview with the Stake President!!!
Sounds like your guys had a fun week visiting Sourdough!!!! That's crazy having a Cougar around camp.
Yeah that will be different having Dad in the Bishopbric again. . .
Everything went pretty good this week. We spent half of the week traveling to Neuquen and back for a council of zone leaders. . . Oh yeah, I'm still with the same companion, in the same area!!! We are going to have a baptism on the 26th and hopefully two more on the 3rd of July. Things are really starting to move along!!!
It's okay, I don't need duct tape. . .really I don't need anything. . .maybe send some Romen Nuddles (chicken) and more M&M's ---they don't last very long with one pack and sharing with the other Elders Ha Ha!!!! But if you don't sent anything, don't worry, I truely will live!!!
Love you all!!!

26 April 2010
Hey Mom!!!!
Wow sounds like in the whole world there is tons of storms happening. In Buenos Aires where my companion's family live, they had hail the size fo tennisballs this last week.
Hopefully Matt gets his butt together to start his papers. Unless he is willing to do everything it takes with a full purpose of heart, its better that he waits until he has his ming 100% set on going. . .because in my zone right now i'm having to play mom trying to help them understand that the mission is about working and helping others ---not a two year vacation. He doesn't have to know everything or understand everything but he does have to have a desire to learn and grow and work.
The work is about the same. . . work our butts off and on Sunday no new investigators come to church. I don't understand sometimes, just wish things would just work out. It's my third transfer here and still haven't had a baptism. . . we find new awesome people every week but it just seems like everyone is as cold as the weather down here trying to get them to progress. Don't worry, we'll get through it, we are hoping to be able to put a couple baptismal dates tonight!!!!
That's about it. . .

Hey Mom!!!
I'll answere all your questions when I call... I tried to call yesterday but he calling card that I had bought was obviously too new to be used here in the bottom of the world in Argentina. . . I'll be calling a bit later today. Hopefully, everyone will be in the house I know it won't be quite as easy as on a Sunday.

Hey Mom
Yeah it was so awesome to be able to talk, sorry my time ran out and it was time to go to bed. . . I really miss you guys!!!!
That's awesome Matt is getting his papers together!!! So I probably won't see him till he gets back. . . .That will be crazy!!!!
Most of our appointments fell through and all the people that said they were going to come to church didn't come either. . . It was a real bummer week but it's okay, we just start new this week. We did have quite the experience on Wednesday, we went to to divisions on another area with two other missionaries and we couldn't communicate with them in the morning so we got there and didn't know what to do so we started knocking doors and we didn't have lunch either but while knocking a family from the Dominican Republic let us in to share a bit and they just happened to be cooking and gave us lunch ---talk about a miricle ha ha!!! The food was really good, it was a dish from the Dominican Republic.
I wrote a letter to the Ballard family so I'll be sending that off and I wrote one for Aarron Kelly but I can't send it till i have the address so int he next letter please send it!!!!
Oh yeah, the pancakes and syrup have been great!!! We eat them everyday!!!
Anyways thats about all the news for this week!!!

Hey Mom!!!
Well we lost our one Baptism date that we had. . . the ladies son said that he didn't want us to teach his mom and wouldn't let us talk with her either. . . We shared our testimony and also the Branch President and then we left leaving him an invitation to listen next time. . .but it's okay cause we went and put (set) one with another lady that same hour. Then later in the week we had a lesson and put another baptismal date with a 13 year old kid that we are teaching him and his mom!!!! This week we are hoping to put one with his mom too!!! Nobody made it to church again so hopefully this week.
Ha Ha. . . yeah . . . Matt has written me every week this month!!! I'm glad he is taking good care of my jeep ha ha!!!
Oh wow. . .Why did they change his (Kirt Kunzler) mission???? (visa problems)
Yeah, I will have to hang out with the Halversons when I get back cause everyone else will still be gone ha ha!!!
Anyways that's about it!!!
