November 12, 2007

Hey Family!

Great to hear from you again, thanks for your letters! I'm not sure if its anyone´s birthday this week but Happy Birthday if so.

This week was hectic. Tuesday, I got a bad migraine and couldn't leave. Wednesday we had to come home early in the night to wait for the missionaries from the far parts of the mission to come to our apartment to stay for the night. The showed up a bit late and there were 8 missionaries in our apartment.

The next morning we all piled into two taxis to leave the mission and head to the mission BAN (buenos aires norte) to a chapel in capital. I got to see all my companions who weren't home already (Foster, Decker, and Bracken). We also got to hear from Elder Uchdorf. It was incredible. The spirit was very strong and we learned many many things. He talked about his experiences in Germany and we learned a lot of things. He knows less Spanish than Mom =).

That was Thursday, then Friday we had our interviews with the President which went very well. Saturday we prepared an activity for the ward, which we had at 7 at night. It went really well! We cooked deserts and I gave them all pop rocks and they went nuts over the pop rocks. Little kids who were always afraid of me followed me around with arms outstretched. I laughed and then tried to scare them to see if they would still come and they did. We also made no bake cookies which were pretty good too.

Sunday we gave talks and talked to A TON of people after church. Then earlier today we opened the cabinet above the stove and there was a birds nest with a warm egg in the stove pipe and I cleaned it out.

Well Elder Gavilan and I are working hard and are getting along famously. We are hoping to have two baptisms planned by the end of this week, I'll keep you all posted,

Love to Grandma and Grandpa, Leslie, Darryl, Erynn, GG, Oma!(thanks for the Newspapers!), Marion and frank(thanks for the pictures I'll be praying for those victims) and anyone else who this letter gets to!! Have a great week! And if this gets to Elder Dance somehow, CONGRATULATIONS ELDER!! way to go!! Talk to you all soon!

Con Amor,

Elder Kelly
