WE HAD 8 INVESTIGATORS IN CHURCH.

hey mom,

its hard to believe i only have one week left. what do i have to say? well, we had 8 investigators in church. none are close to baptism though, they all need to get something or another worked out to be baptized. but we are still working hard. gotta push the whole last week. but other than that, its the same old story. he is living with his girlfriend, r, once more. so he and r need to get married to get baptized. g got angry for some stupid thing in church yesterday and we almost lost him as an investigator. he is going to get married the 23 of november. so that is exciting. as for the others, we have a new investigator named h y who showed up to church yesterday. he wants to get baptized, so we shall see how it goes. but other than that, i am just saying bye to everyone and trying to leave the area prepared for future missionaries. well mom i love you. chau!

CONFERENCE WAS AMAZING

hey mom. 

conference was amazing. i really loved it. although, priesthood session we couldnt see. so i have to wait til the liahona gets here. as for the talks, i loved president eyrings from sunday morning as well as elder hollands from sunday morning. elder holland had given a very similar talk in the mtc. i loved it. as for the past week, not much to tell. we had some good lessons with g, he came to sunday morning session. and wants to get married with his girlfriend. he has been living with her for 18 years already. so we are going to try to get them married this week or next. j didnt come to any sessions because he was working all weekend. he is a police officer. as for r, we couldnt find her sunday morning. but we had a good lesson with her and her daughter, l, which is ro's sister. that is all for now. well mom i love you! only three weeks!

OUR GOAL FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER IN BAPTISMS IS 3

hey mom.

this letter unfortunately is going to be short as well. i have been in the ciber for about an hour waiting for the computer. the week went well. we had three investigators in the church again, which was awesome. r, ro's mom, j once more, and m p. r has a fecha for the 20th of october. j has one for the 13th of october. and m needs to get married before he gets baptized. but we had a great lesson with r this week, ro invited her to church, and we are having good lessons with j. all we need to do is continue to find people. our goal for the month of october in baptisms is 3. so we are working for it. love you mom!

WE HAD THREE INVESTIGATORS IN CHURCH

hey mom.

well, this past week was a cold one, with some rain. that cita we had fell through. but o well. o was about to be baptized on sunday, but called on saturday night and told us he didnt want to get baptized. so we didnt have the baptism this weekend. but, we did have three investigators in church. g, j and m. j is our most likely candidate for our next baptism. he is good friends with bishop and so we hope to get him baptized this week. as for newbies last week, we seem to have exhausted our resources concerning the members. so we unfortunately knocked a lot of doors. we didnt find a lot of new people but we are working. it is tough getting through to the end, but yeah, this last transfer is a hard one, knowing i am close to the end. i really dont have have much to tell you. love you mom!

LAST TRANSFER

hey mom.

hey, i will be finishing up here in mar del plata. elder h is still my companion. last week was pretty slow considering on how we have been going before. we have been working, trying to get more investigators, but not much. we have a cita right now, so my email wont be very long unfortunately. but highlights, i get to see both elder l and elder h all this transfer, they both got transfered to the zone. so that is cool. plus elder m was transfered to another area, but i got to see him all last transfer. hopefully we get o baptized this week. well mom i loooove you!

WE HAVE TWO BAPTISMS PLANNED THIS WEEK.

hey mom!

this week was pretty tranquilo. not much to report. we did however have the temple rededication of buenos aires temple. that was awesome! president henry b eyring, m russel ballard and d todd christopherson all came for the rededication. so the temple is officially open once more! i hope i can go to the temple before i come home, it would be awesome to go through the temple once in argentina. so we shall see what takes place. as for the past week, we just worked with our investigators, trying to prepare them for this week. as of right now, we have two planned for this week. so we are aiming to have those two this week. i hope it works out! the two new investigators we found, are actually ex investigators. their parents didnt listen in on the lesson, but the kids already know everything and we are going to try and teach them. the parents said if they want to, the kids can get baptized. so maybe in the last week of the month we have them get baptized. my comp and i are getting along fine. elder h finishes up his mission in january, so we both have a lot of time together, and its kind of hard to not be trunky, but we are getting through it. this weekend we also are going to have transfers. my last transfer is coming up, scary! but hey. time flies when one works, o no? jaja well mom, i love you!
