Hey how are things going for everyone? My new area is great, this week was really fun. We have a baptism set up for this Saturday so we are excited about that. His name is José Luiz it is this man that in his thirties. The other night we had a family home evening with him and about six other members where we taught the third lesson about Baptism and repentance. I am really starting to enjoy teaching people, it really is fun. Especially with my companion that I have now, he has been in the mission so long and is so chill when he is teaching and working, so it helps me to just be relaxed and go with the spirit better. The people in Azul have been treating us well.
The members are awesome, we get fed every single day, yesterday we had a good sacrament meeting where a lot of them bore there testimonials, and I threw mine in too because I am new in the area. Every time a missionary is leaving an area or going into an area we bare our testimonies in sacrament. So the city is pretty sweet, we have bikes so we can get around really well. It´s actually crazy most of the time because we have to ride down the main roads with the cars, and if we get to where cars are stopped at a light or something my companion is crazy and starts shooting through gaps in the cars, but it´s fun. We usually ride our bikes to an area that we planned out that day and we lock them up to a pole and then work in that area. The other day we were just riding down the road and there was this fruit truck with all it´s fruit in it, we just latched on to the back and caught a ride for a while. But with the bikes we are sweating all the time. We get back to the house and sweat also. But it´s cool I am having so much fun here, I think this transfer is going to be awesome.
So my companion is on his last transfer before he goes home right, so I am getting told that this next transfer I will be taking his spot at district leader! That would make me senior comp for the rest of my mission and put a lot of responsibility on me. But whatever calling I get can be fulfilled with the help of the lord. So I am pushing myself to learn more and more because maybe next transfer I will be with some American that doesn´t know how to speak. But it´s cool the lord knows what I am capable and what I need in my life right now.
So yesterday me and elder Roberts took the bus back here into Olavarria where we went to an activity where they were showing the testament movie to all of the ramas from the other missionaries. It was really really powerful, especially at the end, the spirit that was in the room was awesome. Then me and elder Barrett (a complete stud, one of my good buddies in the mission, he lives close to the provo temple) started walking back to his house and there was a parade going on, it was a pretty cool parade but we probably shouldn´t have taken that road because every kid had this foam spray stuff and of course the missionaries are a target so we got foamed pretty bad. It was really packed with people so we would get hit from the side of the face out of no where. But we got through it alright. Today we are going to a park and have an asado (We cook tons of meat) and play futbol and all. But it was good to hear from you. Oh yeah with the wrestling matches the other day, first I wrestled against this half Mexican kid and he was pretty crazy just really scrappy and didn´t know what he was doing, so the first time I kind of form tackled him and had my chin in his chest and had him on his back for a while. But then the second time we were on the ground more and he had his head close to his knee so I pulled it together and got him in the craddle and rocked him back and just pinned him. The other kid I wrestled was bigger, we couldn´t really do anything to each other, so he got really really tired so I just rolled him over and pinned him. But we were really really sore the next day. So that’s how that went. Dad good luck with the health and everything, tell grandpa happy birthday for me! What an awesome man. Well nos vemos.
