this week we had a good week. we worked good. and president called us to talk to us. and it sounds like elder williams will be going home even earlier then the rest of us. at the beginning of august. so you all can go to his homecoming. he lives close! so that would be cool and he wants you all to go really bad. but i will let you know more about taht when it gets closer. and it sounds like i will be leaving the area and going back to be a zone leader. and help to enforce alot of new rules that the area presidency has put in. and to probably finish my mission as a zone leader president told me. but as we know anything can happen.

this week we had to go and to teach maxi. we have had a hunch he has a problem with the law of chastity with his girlfriend. so we went to talk to him and told him about and was shocked. and so we put a cita with him for another day to explain it more throughly and with more time. so we did and had a great lesson with him. it was a little bit of a cane drop for him. but it was really good and he still came to church and on frieday will be baptized! we are way excited! and he is doing really well and excited also. he will be a great member and really strong! i can see him serving a misison here next year. and being the future bishop of albardon! he is a huge stud and doing all the right things right now in his life and is finding alot of happiness that he has been looking for. its was special the family of his always texts him and reminds him not to smoke or do anything bad and to remember his baptism he has. its way special for me to see everyone doing this for him and the excitement that everyone has. i have grown really close to him and we really connect well and am way excited for him. another super cool baptism!

we also are teaching several other people and they are doing well just not progressing how we can see them. they wont come to church cause it is cold and it is a long travel. so that is difficult. but i know some good things are coming for the area and that we have some good investigators if they will only come to church. we have reactivated this one family that was baptized two years ago and they are really cool. the girls go to seminary every morning at 6. and the mom now has a calling to be a sunday school teacher. so that is cool and to see them doing well and coming back to church and how happier they are. i had to give another talk yesterday in church. my third one in this area. its so wierd, people get scared and dont come when they get assigned talks. and we get asked to do them for 10 to 20 minutes. so i have learned that really well how to give a talk and to teach off the fly here on the misison from all my areas and alot from here in albardon.

i am really appreciative of the prayers and thoughts that are givin by the ward and the families. it means alot to me. i have had some problems with food or something not sitting well or something i really should NOT have eaten. but i eat it anyways and i know that the prayers of blessing me with health and strength are felt cause randomly the bad stomache pain will go away and i will be feeling alot better. and i know it is from the love and the power of prayer from everyone back home. so thanks and i greatly appreciate it and hope for it to continue till the end of my mission. and i know blake ziser will feel it as well and love it! he has alot ot look forward to. argentina is a great place and the buenos aires misions always do well. the mendoza mission has managed to top most all other missions in argentina the past two years! so its not the best misison in the world like mendoza but it is close... haha but who is to brag.....

life is good. i am loving it! and having a ton of fun everyday! let blake know i say congrats and that it is the best time he will have in his life. i didnt believe it before.... but i am a strong believer of it now! it trully is the BEST two years! i love you all and miss you! take care.

con amor
