Challenging week

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 ever have in my mission. It's mostly because things started to go bad at the beginning of this week. We went over to our fechas house and she just told us she was not interested in listening to us anymore, after everything was going so well. So we talked a little and she was pretty set on not listening to us so I accepted it and set up a dinner where we would thank her for her time and make tacos for her and her family (Where she is going to change her mind about listening to us and after that we will find the husband which we haven't been able to do so far) So ya that's the plan of action as of now so we´ll see how that goes. Then the next day I got some very good news that I was going to do exchanges with ELDER JONES! (MTC companion and zone leader) Yay! We finally were going to get to teach together again! So we had a great day planned. However when we went to all of our citas everything fell through so we ended up just doing a whole lot of walking and contacting... but it was still way fun. During this time we found out that one of our other fechas picked up and left and we don't know where they are. So that was another bummer. We are pushing on tho so no worries because we have focused on the area and the work and are working really hard so the lord will bless our efforts. As of now or yesterday we found another family who we are teaching and they have quite a bit of potential so I am way excited for them. Elder Holladay is doing way good learning the language very fast and doing very well with his contacts. We did divisions the other day so that was a really good experience for him to go with a member to some citas. Other than that everything is going great. I am very excited to be with Elder Holladay because he has a great testimony and he is very smart so he is helping me and the work a lot.

I love you all hope everything is going great your in my prayers

AWESOME transfers! Trainer & District leader

I'm really glad things are going well at home. I pray for our family every day... ha pretty much every prayer I add in a little blessing for the family and reading this letter I can see that heavenly father has answered my prayers. I am so grateful for the family we have and for all the experiences we have had good and bad. Heavenly Father really knew what he was doing when he formed this family. I'm just grateful I was lucky enough to be put into it... definitely one of my greatest blessings.
Anyway transfers: Elder Calderon will be taking the south side of Ezeiza with Elder Adair and the north side will be me with an elder I don't know yet. Ill meet him tomorrow when he gets to the country so that was pretty cool. I'm way excited to train. Im also going to be a district leader and to add icing to the cake, Elder Jones (my mtc comp) will be my zone leader! Yay! I'm seriously so excited for this transfer. The only thing is that all our baptismal fechas are Elder Calderons, so we got to get to work on the north side but I'm not worried. This area is absolutely awesome and we are gunna baptize tons so no worries. As for some sad news Elder Rice left me and went to the coast. I'll miss him... he was a fun elder but I'm sure I'll make new friends. Right now I'm with elder Steinkuler (lived with me in the mtc old time friend) who is also going to be training so we will get to do some teaching together tonight which will be cool.... I'm excited! Ha everything is just working out so nicely and I'm loving it. Summer is coming up on us so I'm kinda excited for that kinda not cuz I sweat a lot but I'll prob lose some weight which is good. So ya this last week was fun. I don't have my agenda so i don't remember the things I was going to write but it really doesn't matter because I don't have much time anyway. 'Hope everything continues to go well.
Love you all so much
