Hey everybody. Trelew is awesome!! I love it here allready. My comp is a stud and we`ve got a good handful of people that can be baptized this transfer. Our renters are really interested in the gospel. Their names are Christina and Raul. They are super prepared and they attended general conference yesterday. They are on vacation this week so I don`t know if we`ll be able to see them this week. They went up north to visit a city called Bariloche in the province of Neuquen. I haven`t met our other investigators yet but I will let you guys know later. Aparently, we have an investigator that doesn`t have any legs his name is Reuben. I will let you guys know of what`s new next week.
in comparison to my last area it is really calm and peacefull here. The members are super cool and love the missionaries. The only challenge I see in the area is that pretty much everybody is Evangelical. Other than that, I feel this area will be a good place for me to possibly end my mission. Who knows what might happen next. I hope you all have a good week.

p.s. There are penguins here :D We may go next transfer.
On sunday I cooked up some milanessa and it was really really good. On saturday we bought empanadas and an enourmous milanessa sandwich from a place called tios. I`m definately going back there more often :P I would send photos if I had a picture of it.
Elder Holland`s talk was so funny. Were you guys waiting for the icecream after the general conference? xD Tomorow is pretty intimidating sometimes especially thinking about all the decisions we have to make. Sometimes I don`t really know what to do. I know though that things will work out the way they should for our gain in the end. All the talks provided something that I needed to hear so they are all my favorites :D I also liked Elder Nelson`s talk durring the priesthood session. That was really amazing as well.

Hola Hola
Conference weekend was FANTASTIC!!! We watched it in the chapel of Centenario. Centenario is located in downtown trelew about 30 minutes walking from our apartment. I learned in seminary to make a list of questions before watching conference so that`s what I did. I wrote down questions that i`ve been having recently and I can tell you that I know without a doubt that they were answered. I now have notes from all the confrence talks that feel like revelation personally for me. :) I just love conferece. I learned a lot about what I should do when I get home and also how I can help our investigators we have here to progress. It is amazing :D
Trelew is really pretty. The first few days it was really warm but now it`s getting cooler for the winter. It doesn`t get cold cold here but it gets a little chilly. That`s how I want it to be. :) It`s so much more pretty than comodoro. Comodoro is UGLY!!! xD hahaha There is a nice park in the middle of our area with lots of trees and grass and it just makes me happy to see grass again. i am only 1 hour away from puerto madryn. it`s kind of funny thinking that my first area is only an hour away.
District leader is really nice. It wasn`t as complicated as I thought it would be. It`s pretty much just taking numbers and encouraging everybody in their respective areas. My district is just me and my comp and the zone leaders so that makes things a bit easier xD haha.
President goes home around july but I don`t know if he leaves the begining or the end becuase when a new mission president comes in the old one stayes for a time to train the new mission presidente about the area and things like that. it`s the same for a missionary arriving into the field.
That made me happy to hear from laurie. I think my comp is the best as well...mainly for his last name xD hahaha I`m teaching him to play piano a little bit so he can live up to his last name xD haha he`s from corrientes argentina. he`s a super great guy. Maybe i`ll send a picture of him :)
I sent the pikes peak letter but now I`m not so sure what to do with SUU. Give me untill next week and I will come up with a decision. :) I will take it into account what I should do. President monson did talk about making choices xD
Well, this letter has certainly been crazy xD ahahaha I`m doing well and I hope that you guys have a great week. I love you.

p.s. about the differences in the sibs. They all just look more older and maturing faster. Talon especially is starting to look different. :) Brynnon and lyndon as well. :)
Hey Dad.
This week has been really great. Things seem more...calm in comparison to abasolo. My area is so safe. My comp tells me there is a street that is a little dangerous but i`m not scared of it. In abasolo pretty much every street was dangerous xD hahaha I feel at peace here in trelew. I wasn`t presented the option to finish here in trelew. If I did have the option though I would have gone to a place called Calafate to be able to see the glacier perito moreno. In trelew I can see penguains and now is the season to go. Last transfer the zone went so maybe we`ll go this next transfer. :) I know i`m needed in trelew so i`m happy wherever I am. It`s funny to think that my very first zone is an hour and a half up north. Trelew is divided into 2 zones. I am in the southern part and Puerto Madryn is it`s own zone apart. our district is doing well and we have a good handfull of people that could end up being baptized by the end of this transfer. Our pension is above our renters who are very possible baptisms. We live right next to an evangelical church. They are pretty crazy on sundays xD hahaha I love them though xD My comp and I are doing just fine. He has 6 months in the mission and he has so much energy to baptize. It`s a good thing becuase I need that energy as well becuase I am running low. He is helping me keep my focus on ending strong.
I`m glad that you guys have had a great week. I hope that this week is even better.
