so yeah, in the end, i got transfered to Trelew as a district leader which probably means that i´ll be training next transfer. my new companion is elder sydall from california and i´m his second companion. It´s different not being a zone leader but i like it just the same.
Trelew is a bigger city that is about 6 hours north of Caleta Olivia and in the summer, I can go see the penguins! they have a place called Punto Tombo that is swarming with penguins but i will probably wait until i get my new refuerzo (that´s what we called the newbies) next transfer. I´m excited because i´ll get to use the new training program that is going to be way tight.
I´m also way pumped that i´m an uncle now! i got the pictures that keith sent me and man is she a big baby! she already looks realively old. Keith said that she has red hair and blue eyes? she´s going to be way cute (not saying she´s not cute already, but you know what i mean). so paisley just wasn´t coming out because she was so big or is what dad said right when he said that holli´s pelvis is twisted or something like that? either way, she was born right? is it weird to think you´re a grandma now? now you really are GG haha.
sorry i didn´t respond yesterday but i didn´t end up having much time before i got transfered. I was sad to be leaving but i know that i left my area in good hands. anyway, i think that is all i have for the week. I´ll tell you more about trelew in my email next monday!
love you

yeah i think i´d rather be a zone leader but i just work where i´m told right? besides, it will be fun to train which i´m sure i´ll be doing next transfer. with the new program for training, i will get an extra hour and a half every morning for more studies so my refuerzo (reinforcement) will be a stud once i´m through with him. of course, if i want him to be a stud, i have to be a stud myself, so i better get working on that haha.
yeah i love the emails you forward to me of the brotherhood, it´s great to hear from them everyweek. the brotherhood is truly tearing it up or "thrashing the nations" as the scriptures say. yeah you can send those pictures through the email but also print them out and send them in a package just in case.
Jordan boyd is already about to come home? i can´t believe it. and if nathaniel is about to finish as well, that means that shelby codling as well is getting close. it´s weird. I was just thinking about how the hermanas from my district in the mtc are about to finish as well. i think they will end in september. I´m glad i still have six months to keep working.
Niall Stoddard got his mission call to Belgium!?! that´s so awesome, that would be a sick mission! when is Kaleb going to start working on his papers?
the work here is going good though, we still don´t have any baptismal dates but we´re finding a good number of new investigators. the only hard part is finding them a second time hah. we´re working on it though. I can see a lot of potential here, a lot more than when i first arrived anyway. i just have so many things in my head that i want to do, i want the district the baptize weekly, i want to get the members more active in missionary work, i want to get more members active period since we only get like 30 at church every week and this is a ward. it seems like their isn´t time in the day for everything haha. I guess i will just have to walk in hyperdrive the whole day (yeah look out when i get home because i can walk like at the same speed that someone runs haha). but that´s about everything that is going on here. it´s cold and rainy here in Trelew (it´s pronounced Trey-lay-oh) but it should start warming up here soon. my new pench is way sweet, we ride a ghetto elevado up to the third floor where our apartment is but i like it a lot. the shower is like a shower in the states, being that it actually has good water pressure which isn´t something very common here in argentina haha.
anyway, i think that´s it for the week. thanks for everything! love you, chao!
