That was way nice of Liz to do that for me tell her thank you so much! I`ll send her a letter, thanks for the address. You`ll have to tell me when your package gets there that I sent you a while back. It`s not much but what I could afford with our budget. The Skype call was awesome. Totally weird not going to lie but really neat. I´m so greatful that President let us do that. He´s such a cool guy, so good to us. It was way nice of everyone to come over and say hi to me on the camera. That meant a lot! I had no idea Mike told you anything about coming down. We started talking about it in Spanish and I thought he was doing that so that no body knew what we were talking about haha. Anyways, I think it would be great. I would love for you to be able to come down and meet Carmen and all of the great people I´ve met here. Definately wouldn´t want any more than 10 days and really we´d only need 2 or 3 in Mendoza. There isn´t tooo much to do ya know. Tour around, see an amazing winery, and Aconcagua. Going over to Mikes area would be really cool. It is like on the other end of the country but a day in bus would get us there. My only request would be that we go see Iguazu Falls. It´s one of the 7 wonders of the world. And actually during the winter here is the supposedly best time to go see it. Other times of the year it averages 110-120 degrees up there. The only worry Mike was talking about was the weather being a little cold, seeing as how it will be winter when I finish. We definately wouldn´t see the beautiful green Argentina, but that doesn´t mean it wouldn´t be cool. I honestly think if I was to come home and then come back down later it´d never happen. With school and work I just can´t see it happening any time soon. So i´d definately say that we do it while I´m here. Not to mention we´d save my whole trip back down which is no cheap thing. Flights will be expensive but other things such as travel down here and food is relatively cheap if we don´t be super ritzy. It´s 4 pesos to every dollar. Be a lot cheaper than Europe that is for sure. Anyways, the only thing about all of this is that we kinda need to decide soon because in about two weeks the mission sends me a paper so that they can start working on my flight and departure from the mission. One of the questions on that form is if my parents will be coming here to pick me up. Anyways, talk amoungst yourselves and let me know. I´d say it´d probably not be the smartest idea to do this without dad. Even more than that is that I´d really want him to come with you. Pray for it and it will work out. Anyways I love you, thanks for being so amazing and supportive of me. Talk to ya next week. Sorry for this being so late, we had some things come up today! Chau
