Family,

Hello! It's great to hear from you all. Happy Birthday Jeremy and Marcus! Congrats Leslie and Darryl on the progress, Erynn looks great!! 5 months old, wow!! I've heard some things about wild fires in California and would really appreciate an update on The Johnsons and Sylvi if anyone could email me a quick message.

Well, things down here are just fine. Yesterday was election day in Argentina. The wife of the current president won. Her name is Christina Kirchner. I'm not sure what that means, hopefully it is good.

The transfer came and went and Elder Zamora is now in some Hotel room in Buenos Aires with his father. It was kind of weird seeing him and his dad see each other. Almost anti-climactic, because his parents had already visited him already once or twice during his mission. He was a great Elder.

So my new companion is named Elder Gavilán and he is from Paraguay. He doesn't speak English so hopefully my Spanish will improve. He has a little over a year in the mission. Right now, I'm in a trio with the Elders from Villa Madero (elders Stoddard and Vernon) and my new companion will come tomorrow. We shall see.

I´ve been giving out Starbursts to kids at church and in the Villa, it's very entertaining and fun, thanks again for the package! We are teaching a couple of great families and one of them has 5 daughters!! Their ages are 9,8,5,3, and 1. I may have already written this but they are a great family, and the Mom will be getting married this December to her "boyfriend" or Marido like they say here of 8 years!! It's excellent to see their progress.

It's Hot and Humid and better than being cold!! Well that's mostly it from Argentina! Have an Excellent Halloween...
