Hello family

How is everyone?!? I'm doing very well and I'm sorry for not having written in so long. Last week on P-day we were at the airport picking up the new elders. It was actually an excellent experience. We picked up 5 americans and 12 Latin Americans including 4 sister missionaries. It's such a great day for me and it makes me remember my first day! They are always so excited and its great to feel that MTC experience again.

The day after we had the dinner for the returning missionaries. That's a different experience but still excellent. It's great to see missionaries complete their missions and to be a part of their last day.

Yesterday, we had the meeting with the Zone leaders and it went very well. There was a very strong spirit felt. We spoke about what we need to do to be the best mission in the world. It was really very inspiring and great to see all the Zone leaders, my old friends and companions.

This week we have a lot of meetings and interviews planned so we´ll be in and out of the offices alot. This transfer is going to be a great one I can really feel it! Ah yes and on Monday Elder Nelson from the 12 will be coming to our mission! I'm very excited.

Speaking of which, wasn't conference excellent! So many wonderful talks, I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite. If you didn't go to all the sessions, I exhort you to go online and watch them during some free time or during lunch, you´ll be extremely glad you did! 4 new temples too!

Well family I have to go but I love you all and i'll talk to you soon!!

Hello family!

I´m sorry for having missed a week. I've been a bit busy as of late.

Well I´ve almost seen all of the mission now. We went to Luján yesterday for interviews. It is great to be able to work with all of the Elders so close and get to help them with their work. I´ve developed a love and admiration for all the missionaries for the effort they put forth daily.

Last week we were able to go on divisions with the Zone Leaders from the Castelar Zone (zone of parque leloir). It was great! One of the zone leaders is Brazilian and the other was my old apartment mate so it was great to work together with them. They are two great elders! Personally I loved working again in the field. It was nice to be able to go out and just do the work for a day. I really do enjoying the every day work.

Other news, we got a new van and it is intense. It's like a mini bus. It has swivel sit and everything! Really hightech. The only problem is that everything is written in German because its a VW so we cant understand when a warning flashes up.

Anyways, I hope everything is well at home. I love you all! Have a great week!
