We´ll we´re not quite at 6 months yet! New years day will be six months till I get home ( well I guess that depends on a few things, but right around there). That would be weird to think Ky could be out by this time next year. He should try and set it up so he is at the MTC during Christmas. I heard its so super amazing there during Christmas with apostles and sweet programs and all of that. It is probably about 90 degrees outside! SO HOT! I´m just a roasting. Me and my new companion Elder Frost ( from Prescott, AZ) have made it a goal to go running in the mornings 4 days a week, and even at 7 o clock it is boilin! I feel like Boozer and Birk haven´t changed a bit since I´ve left. That video you sent me of them just makes me laugh. Snooring Boozer haha. I miss civilized dogs. And cute little Schnauzers, all dogs suck here and want nothing more than to bite your ankles off.
This week I got some of the most amazing and fulfilling news that a missionary can get. Yesterday was Godoy Cruz Stake conference so that meant seeing my old converts from Trapiche my first area and all of the members from that area. It was so great to see them. Even more gratifying that they are going to church still and so active. I´m sure you remember Carmen, my first convert. She´s now the Sunday School President and a Ward Missionary. She loves me haha. All of the missionaries that come from Trapiche tell me they don´t hear the end about me and Elder Chesley from Hna. Carmen. Anyways I got to see her, she was so excited to see me and invited us to eat an asado with them this month. The better news was one of the two notes that made my day, my week, and maybe even my mission. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Shes going to the temple to recieve her endowment next week!!!!! YES! The ultimate missionary goal. To know their converts are converted and have made the change in their lives. So awesome! Then I found myself sitting on the pew in front of Miguel Cassanova. Remember the miracle that he was? You´ll have to look back on that letter if you still have it. The guy who lives in the horribly dangerous area, that for some reason we entered knowing it was against the rules and answered the mans prayer that had been praying the night before for a sign. Anyways, I can´t even tell you how awesome their family is, and how good their doing. And even better that the same week Carmen is getting endowed........... Miguel is doing the same thing! And getting sealed the next day to his wife and kids! They´ve been saving since the day of his baptism to muzzle up the measly 200 pesos it takes for the church to be able to send them on a bus to Chile. Such faith and such conversion. I´m so lucky to have been able to play a part in the conversions of these people. I know for a fact now that there really were people I knew in the premortal life that I promised I´d find in this life. I know that with out a doubt in my mind. It was such a sweet conference! Other than that I´ve been traveling around here locally in Mendoza with Elder Packer installing new CO2 detectors for the missionaries. We´ve also been working really hard in our area and have a lot of people to baptize and the end of this month. Which will be sweet! We even have a baptismal service set up for Christmas Day. We´re dreaming of a white Christmas! :) Anyways have a great week! I love you
