Que Copado. You guys are really good at Legos! Enserio! I love Katie’s superhero costume, but it might not beat the cowboy because really, cowboys are the real heroes!
Crazy that you are going to sell the BEAST, I get it though, there’s not any real need for it now. Whatever happened to the Bronco?
Dad, your experience with the missionaries sounds pretty familiar. It’s easy to sit down with one member of a family, but to get another family member to sit down and pay attention gets a little tricky. Sometimes you have to scream to the kitchen, for example, "Hey JOSE, you every heard of Jesus?" But also it’s hard to teach anything if the person doesn’t have a testimony in the Book of Mormon. It’s the clave of everything!
Mom says, dad is not too into dogs right now. I get it though. I’m getting a little sick of dogs.... until a storm of puppies starts coming at you in the street. It happens. And you just have to stop and go with it. They all keep shaking their butts around saying, "I JUST CAN’T STOP DANCING." Although who took that seriously... dogs can’t talk.
This week was great. Possibly one of the greatest moments of church I’ve had. So the church has started a mandatory auto-sufficiency class for all the members; because people here in Argentina kind of rely on the government too much. But it’s pretty funny, when the president is going off on some real life physical actions, such as getting a job… He starts off with the class by asking what it means to be auto sufficient? ... "ARREPENTIMIENTO"... “Sorry let’s get a little deeper. What can we do to be auto sufficient?”… "READ THE BOOK OF MORMON"... “Alright guys that’s a good thing too.”… “Elders, what can we do?”..."Get a job."… “Alright what else”...”FAITH... JOSEPH SMITH...THE LOVE OF GOD."... Donato-"WHAT VERSE?"... It was a fun class and we learned some good ways to physically and spiritually take care of ourselves and others. But man Pablo (Mr. my body my body my body) decided to come in to church three different times yelling "HEEEY MAS VALE MAS VALE MAS VALE!" Every time he was wearing a different set of clothes. Seriously. The church is the size of your bedroom, and it’s hard not to laugh when during the sacrament song you hear "HEEEY MAS VALE MAS VALE MAS VALE... ORACION POR MI SOBRINA?!!" After he just came in an hour earlier. Pablo is such a stud, and he always wants my ties, because his dad never gives him ties.
We did have an investigator at church. Mario. I think I talked about him a little bit last week. But we had a very good lesson with him, and he really recognizes the importance of the message of the restoration. Especially when two 19 year old young men are going around Argentina telling it to everyone. It’s very cool when someone recognizes and appreciates the importance of the message of the restoration, that a man can authoritatively testify of Christ and restore the church that Jesus Christ established, and his original doctrine. And not only that, but reveal more. That is a fantastic message. Mario plans on being baptized on the 27th. He’s a very cool guy, one of the more chiller Argentinians, who listen and doesn’t go talking off on crazy subjects.
I have too many Donato stories, but I’m going to give you guys another. We were eating at Donato’s for dinner and we were about to leave. When all of a sudden Donato was like, "wait." And he runs back to his room. He comes back with one purple sock in each of his hands, walking over to Elder Mckell, and says, "A Gift." And elder Mckell says, "For me?" All excitedly. But then Donato stretches his arms out towards Elder Mckell and me, and says, "For the both of you." I was like, “Donato, thanks, what should we do with it?” And he just said “we can use it for anything. It’s getting pretty cold out these days.” Exactly!
Oh my gosh! I’ve been here for almost 6 months now and I never knew Galves had their own soccer team. Apparently they have games every Sunday night, and we went by it yesterday, and people were just going nutz over this Galvez team. Makes sense now… where all our investigators go on Sundays.

The Islands south of Argentina are not actually owned by Argentina, but owned by England. Perhaps they can buy it back with money that has the islands on it!
