Hello,

First off, I'm sorry for not having written last week, it was quite the busy week.

Next, Happy Birthdays and Anniversaries to everyone! Dad and Ian and Grandma!! I'm very happy for you and I did think of you this week. I hope that everything went great!

Well, last week as I said was very busy. The transfer ended and instead of staying in Gonález Catán 3 as I expected, I was called to my 6th area but this one is in the offices. I´m now serving in the offices as assistant to the President and serving in the area of Caseros 2! (That may sound familiar because I started my mission in Caseros 1 which meets in the same building).

Sunday, we went to church in the same building and I got to say hello to all the members of that great ward. It was soo excellent! I couldn't believe that people remembered who I was. And the BEST part was that one of the part member families I found and started to teach, the husband was baptised!!! It was so excellent to see him and see how happy he was. We talked for a few good minutes and perhaps I´ll be able to visit their house in a couple of weeks when things in the offices settle down. It was so nice to be able to see the fruits of my labors even though I wasn't there for them to blossom.

Anyways, three days ago Elder Scott came here for a leadership meeting and was in the building right next to us, so us six missionaries from the offices were able to go over there and see him. We sat in the fourth row away from him and it was incredible. The spirit was so strong and testified of the truth of what he was saying. There were only about 100 priesthood leaders there so it wasn't too overcrowded.

Also in attendance were Elders Bowen, Zivic, Adukitis, and Gonzalez of the 70 and 10 mission 'presidents who sat right behind us. It was great company and I really enjoyed basking in the spirit that was there. I also got to shake Elder Scott´s hand, the first time for me shaking an apostles hand.

Well anyhow, Things are going great, I thank you for your prayers but please keep praying for me that I can fulfill this great responsibility that the Lord has blessed me with.

Love you all!
