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!

PONER LAS PILAS

hey mom

you just cant help being trunky cant ya? jaja. well, we did have our baptism this week!  so i will attach some fotos afterwards. this week was a little slow though. i spent my birthday with a member family in a family home evening. it was good. we did get a baptismal fecha with his dad,  brother of a, our other baptism. other than that, it was a slow week... last night elder h and i talked and we are going to "poner las pilas" and work hard these next two weeks for baptisms. we have two fechas in total for the 15. j came to church yesterday and we had a good lesson in gospel principles. elder h and i taught the class and we pretty much taught the first lesson and put a fecha with j for the 15th. so we are excited. we have a couple familes as well that we are going to visit this week. so i hope it all goes well. as for other news, i ate at subway today! jaja i found a subway in centro, but not nearly as good as the ones back home. i had a meatball sub. i am trying to be more charitable. i realized that my charity gauge is a bit low, so i am trying to raise my charity. not easy, but im doing it. we havent heard such a thing about at least 21 lessons a week. as for the investigators we found the other week, not much progress, we are trying to get to them right now. but we shall see. we have the goal of 4 baptisms this month, but i think we can get more. we both have sufficiant time inthe mission and we know our way on how to work efficiently etc... well mom, i love you!
