Family!!

Hey! How's it going!? So I survived my first week in Argentina! Its soo crazy out here... Michael would die seeing some of the buildings down here. The plane ride was good, it didn't even seem that long!

The first day was crazy and it has only gotten crazier... My companion-trainer is pretty cool, Elder Rutter. He is on his last transfer.. He's nice. He's a singer too which is cool.

The work is great! We taught a brand new investigator lesson one this week and we got one lined up for today! Really cool families. There are wild parakeets in the trees and lots of street dogs and garbage. The ward is way cool! There is a former member of the 70 and a former mission president in my ward. The families are all very nice.

My area (Caseros) is very large and is one of the richest in my mission. Lots and lots of walking. The food is pretty good. Lots of meat as i was expecting. Everything shuts down between 1 pm and 4 pm for siesta. Its very weird but cool. Lunch is the big meal and there really isn't even a dinner. I'll send some pics as soon as I get my other card back. My mission president is very nice and his wife is too. It'll take some adjusting but I'm getting used to it. The language is tough but it´ll come i know the Lord will help me.

I'm pretty low on time so I gotta jet but the church is true. I love you all soo much!

Love,

Elder Kelly
