Hello Hello! Mom, Sorry I couldn't write a letter last Monday it was a very very hecktic day. We met with the consul on the 12th. We had a big meeting with all the Argentina bound elders. He came in and we sang 'called to serve' for him. He answered tons of questions for us and basically just got me 10x more excited to go, then told us he didn't have any visa's....... and didn't know when they would be sent. So basically the last week has been depressing, none of us have visa's except for a few. Elder Barrus is one of the few so he is super excited, but we're still waiting. I went to the travel office today and told them if we we're going to be delayed we'd really like the opportunity to go somewhere in the US instead of wait here. There is a district in District 4 that has been here 13 weeks...... longer than the Mandrin Chinese Speaking Elders. The travel office told them had they known it was going to take this long they would have sent them out @ week 9. They have been kicked out of their classroom, due to new elders coming in. And they have renamed themselves from District 4-G to District 4-GOTTEN. I feel so bad for them. The spanish is still coming along. I feel sosososososososo not good at it. But we've been teaching for 2 weeks in complete spanish! Crazy how the gift of tounges is real. We had a TE yesterday (teaching evaluation - we makes apts ourselves and practice teaching a teacher who plays a progressive investigator) the lesson was in complete spanish, he told us he was a single father with a 3 month old baby. His wife had passed away giving birth, and he didn't know where to turn. We taught him the plan of salvation in spanish (before ever practicing it) by the end all three of us in the room were in tears the spirit was so strong. I can't explain it.... it was increadable. A practice in a language we hardly know, turned into something unreal. We didn't teach in Spanish language i decided. We taught in the language of the spirit. He said he'd never had that kind of experience in a TE before. Pretty cool I'd say. I'll never forget it. Anyways, i see Elder Crookston everyday. We talk daily, and he is wearing a livestrong for scott. Thankyou so so so much for the ipod. I love it now. I'll try and send some letters out today so you get something during the week. Tell everyone thankyou for the letters and the support, they are not overlooked. Anyways for all you women reading this especially you mom i'd like you to log on to lds.org today and watch the video on the home page titled "Women in our Lives". I love it, kinda got me choked up when Pres. Hinkley started talking about his wife, what they have was amazing. Anyways, Love you DAD! KYLER! CARTER! KARLY! DEBBIE! I'll try to keep you updated as much I can with the visa stuff. I'm praying daily, 3x daily. Sounds like Caulford is doing great in COLO. I think that'd be cool to do a newsletter about us. I saw Austin Richards yesterday (Bonneville football player, going to Poland) and look forward to seeing Van Hook this week.
Pray always, live right!
Love you!
Elder Campbell
