We had a really good week here in Valle de Uco. As a zone we hit 96 percent of our goals, and have 14 baptisms lined up for the next two weeks. The last time we´ve had success here like that was before i came to the mission when they baptised 18 in one day. (i remember looking at president´s blog with you at the picture of it, remember??) Anyways the things are going great here. The game was awesome. We got a phone call from president telling us we had permission to watch it at the members houses if we got some good work done. It was great. We all wore our argentine jerseys above our white shirts and ties haha. I´ve got a picture for you, it was great. Transfers are next week and I´ll be leaving Tunuyan to a little tiney pueblo on the out skirts of town called Cordon Del Plata. My companion Frischknect has been there for a few weeks getting to know the members and i´ll be there next week. We´re excited for it. Should be crazy, we´re going to be the two councilors up there. So we´ll basically run the branch as well as the whole zone. A LOT of responsibility. Here in Tunuyan they called a newer member to be a councilor because it was a lot for us to handle but obviously president lindahl thinks we can handle it! He´s a great man, he stretches us till we´ve become taller. A led man that is for sure. Amazing how the lord really answers our prayers if they are worthy causes. After all is said and done and we talk about every commandment and every little thing we have to do here, we have to remember the biggest point of everything. It´s that we have a JUST and LOVING Heavenly Father. Who is the only one that can judge. Sometimes we get so caught up in every little detail that we forget really what gives us celestial glory. Which is... The desire of our hearts, the love we have for our God, ourselves, and our fellowman. THAT IS the most important thing. I´m really glad I´m out here. Learning all of this, and getting closer to my heavenly father. I´m grateful I can be a blessing and an example to the family. Here´s some pictures of this week, and my customized Argentine jersey. I love you all so much, enjoy the sunny California while i freeze to death! Haha, LOVE YOU!!
