Ha!  That application to date an RM was really funny!   First of all I wanted to wish Grandma Gisela a happy bday! Wow this past week was a good one.  We had 10 lessons with members present and found some great investigators and..... I was spit on.   As I was walking away after being spit on I started thinking about how great my mission has been. I realized something very important that I

I would love to recieve that book [Home with Honor]. Im just finishing up the Doctrine and Covenants right now, then I have to read the Pearl. My favorite books that I've read in the mission are the Book of Mormon and Jesus the Christ. Ive learned to like reading, it always starts my day nicely. As for the baptisms, I do not think we will have another baptism in the next 2 weeks.  We have a

Thats fun that you saw Elder Rice´s mom, and that card board cut out of him is really funny!   Jackies Lake Powell trip looks like it was way fun.... I'm kinda jealous our youth conferences were always kinda... not like that. Then again we didnt really have the resources that they have in Utah. SARAH IS GETTING MARRIED???? Thats great!  Shes def one of my fav cousins.  Shes got a good head on her

Ha! 'Sounds like Utah is treating you all nicely except for the big old cut on Jackie's arm. [She ran into barbed wire playing in the night with friends] It sounds like she has some good friends and that is very important in the life of a 16 year old. But then again Jackie is one of the greatest and probably easiest of the 5 of us kids. As for this past week the World Cup ended for Argentina [

Yes today was transfers and I'm staying with Elder Roy. Today we were all together in transfer meeting and my group all started talking about how fast time has flown. It has gone by really fast and doesnt really feel like its going to end. This past week was pretty crazy with Argentina winning it's soccer games at the World Cup and everything going on.  The Argentine people are going crazy. Ive

Ashton and the rest of the family are all in my prayers.  Keep the faith strong, its a rough situation but I know she´ll be ok because she's strong.  I cant wait to see her soon. This week started off really great-- On Monday we were able to take out 3 new baptismal dates, and we found a really great new family. So that was a great start of the week but then the weekend rolled around and

Thanks for the email and the pics.  I've really enjoyed them. As for the work and teaching, its going great.  We have found some new investigators and hopefully we´ll baptize this transfer.  I will be really bumbed if we don't.  I'm on a roll of 4 baptising transfers and I want to finish with a couple more baptisms. The girls are so cute, and hey whats going on with Ashton? Did the results come

First of all no, Ii dont think my comp needs a package... just a letter or dear elder would make his day. As for this past week, it went by really fast and now we have good investigators that are progressing so its exciting. Im glad to hear everythings going good over there.

[A letter was received by Elder Schupple's family from President Asay this past week telling us that August 2nd 2010 will be Elder Schupple's release date.  He also included a personal handwritten note on the letter that said, "There is not a more pleasant and easy to get along with missionary in the mission.  Thank you!"]

We had a great week! :) The good news is that Claypole is a great area and we found a bunch of new investigators this past week. The ward is kind of small, only about 40 people come to church but the members are great and the bishop seems to be animated to work with us so these are good things. Other good news is that my companion actually isn't disobedient.  I'm not sure why everyone told

How frustrating but no worries... all is well.Yesterday we went around saying goodbye to Platanos by going to the bishops house for lunch.  We ate choripan.  Then we went to call home for Mothers Day.  Then we went to say goodbye to the Arocha family which was very sad.   Jimena, Gustavo and

The pics you sent of Jackie's b-day celebrations are awesome, and those little animals from Argentina are totally here... or at least walking around in the zoo here.  They are so weird looking.

So this past week was a pretty good one.  First of all we went over to the Arocha family house again and we were just talking, and they told us that they decided it would be a good idea if they got married (yay) but then the dad said, "Ya in like 3 or 4 months I think we should be able to do it."  Elder palmer and I were like "Oh.... thats great but hey could you guys do it within the next 4

Aww Mom... talking about Steve Branham was weird but it made me feel really good. The story about giving Bishop Eyre a blessing after his surgery when Steve and I were newly ordained elders is something I remember rather vividly.  In fact I told that story about 2 weeks ago with my companion as we were sharing our first blessing stories. So yes I remember it very well. As for Elder Rice having a

O my goodness, so Natalie's ok? Gosh that is a crazy story and I didnt really pay attention to the medical side of the letter but wow im glad shes ok. [Austin's sister Natalie went in on Saturday night for an emergency operation due to an ectopic pregnancy: the fertilized egg attaching to the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.

No I don't have a problem with going to UVU. I heard it was really expensive but whatever... you know better than I do. Oh and thanks to the heavy influence of Utah/ Arizona friends down here, my opinion has gone up about 8 fold about moving to Utah, so ya that sounds fun. Mom you should meet Elder Gublers mom.

Wow holy cow that lots of information in one email. Cool I think I'll try to start from the beginning. First of all that is really weird that Steve will be coing home already. Tell him to shoot me an email and I'll write him a letter or something. Have him tell me what he learned and if he has some good advice or something. And wow that's really cool that Steve Herlin going to England. Yes,

OK well this past week was interesting. Today was transfers and I ended up getting moved from Glew to Platanos. Elder Acuna will be training so that will be good for him. It was kind of unusual that I was only there for a transfer, but oh well the mission is that way. I am now going to an area called Platanos :) yes meaning "bananas" in spanish. It is right next to Quilmes which, if you

I hope everything goes well with that. As for the Christmas phone call I think it will probably be at like 3 or 4 depending on who calls first, which will probably be him, we will talk more about it this

It works...but you just have too keep your finger on the button the entire time to see anything so I will be typing this letter blind this week.

Sorry to tell you... but today I do not have a lot of time to write because we have to go out and work now. Our Preparation day was cut short because Elder Bednar is coming on Thurs and is going to be talking with the west mission and our mission. So that's why we have to get back to work early today....and it's way worth it! So ya the update this week is that we took out a fecha (baptism

Happy early Bday mom and yes I got the package. It was a wonderful surprise, and is Joe Mcgrath going on a mission if so where? Brad is looking very..... scary in his Halloween costume. Did he go out with some friends or go trick or treating or just use that in the house? Other than that all those pics are so great.

Ha wow! There is so much is going on at home. That's great stuff. This new week in Ezeiza has been a pretty difficult week for starters and it made me way sad cuz it was going so well before. And now that poor new elder Holladay is here it looks like he might not get any baptisms while he's with me. I cant stand the thought of that so ya this past week I think I have worked harder than I

Hi family!This last week was great! We baptized and we had a lot of success with lessions with members present--which is the best kind of lession we can have. We taught 19 lessions with member present then 28 other lessions. The only thing we were lacking were lessions to members but all in all it was a great week.

Thanks for the pics mom. The picture of the car is great. I don't know where the original went but that's OK. Sounds like a lot is going on at home and the Stake musical sounds pretty cool.So this past week was kinda long.

Mom that's such a good job for you to be with that little girl. You're sweet, loving and understanding but at the same time expect the best or at least expect the other person to do their part.

But I've been silently praying for her all day and feel a little better and comforted. I would appreciate updates tho. I think if i didn't know, it would distract me more.

Sounds like girls camp came at the right time. It is a nice break for you just to get away and do your thing. Challenges come to help us we just have to find what we need to do better. It was so great to hear about Scotty's fare well talk. Sounds like hes doing great and I'm sure he will be a great missionary. This week was pretty good. This new investigator we have is great.

Sorry to tell you this, but I dont have any pics this week--no time, a new area and all that jazz I'm getting to know my way around. But hey the new area is great, the ward is really big, we found 4 new investigators that are going to get baptized in no time. Oh the baptisms we had last week in my other area are

So transfer came and I am now in Ezeiza or something like that with Elder Jensen. He's a way cool kid that I knew from my first 2 transfers. So that was kinda ironic. Hey I had a whole bunch of pictures that I took this past week that I was ready to send. But guess what happened? One of our investigators accidentally deleted them all. Not only the ones that I took this past week but from my

Wow sounds like everything is great over there in Chicago. This past week was really great first off because Maria´s (the convert in Quilmes) son is getting baptized so that just made the beginning of the week great to know that family is growing closer to being a celestial family. Next we had a great week preaching about conference and we were blessed because of our efforts. Almost the entire

If the opportunity comes up and i have my camera i will be sure to take the picture. Do you remember the email you sent me about elder Livingston(Question mark
