Wowzers! Thanks for all the Birthday good times. It’s really
crazy that I’ll be 20 years old! Nutz! And in Argentina. Too legit...to quit!
I loved the birthday video. It was so awesome… that when it
showed up on the screen, it was upside down. Still super awesome!
And I can’t believe that the excursion is totally gone. I didn’t
realize how old it was until you sent those pics, and seeing us from like 10
years ago! Incredible!
And Katie, the world is totally in your favor. You and the
groove cats are looking too fresh for picture day. Fantastic!
It is really crazy to have a birthday here. I had to be
reminded by a member yesterday that my birthday is tomorrow. She invited us
over for some good meats…. Sick!
We actually have a ton of lunches this week with members. Especially
Donato. I guess he found a ton of money in his bank account, and he doesn’t
really know what saving is, and he keeps buying us cokes. That dude’s got to
chill! Ha! Vamos!
Check it… so last week we had to change cybers because it
was "closed for the duel." At first, I thought it was some kind of
funny video game event, until I walked by the Kodak store and also saw a sign
that said "closed for duel.” I realized there is something more going on
than meets the eye. In fact, I believe there must be a family feud between the
owners of the cyber and the owners of the camera store... and there’s a duel
going on! I just tried asking him, “what’s
the deal with the duel?” But they’re keeping quiet... go figure.
This week was great… we headed our way on Saturday to the Costernera. It’s in Santa Fe on the coast of the river. Really nice area with
the first chapel of Santa Fe. I was told that about 20 times, so I’m pretty
sure it’s the first chapel of Santa Fe. But we were there for an open chapel
and it was great. Costanera is one of the most difficult areas, so not too many
people came, but it was still a fantastic event for those who did. So Elder House
and I, went around the coast, trying to get people to come to the event.
People were more focused on their mate (drink); but still, it’s cool to meet
random people. We did get a couple of younger guys to go, which was cool, and I
found this churro guy, and he asked what I was doing (oldest trick in the book).
So we explained, and we gave him like 100 invitations to the event, that he
passed out and explained to whoever bought churros! Clutch city!
That morning we were supposed to find a less active woman,
and we spent like 2 hours looking for this woman with the last name Yasuck . We learned there is apparently a whole colony of Yasucks, and every time you ask
where this woman is living, people just pointed in some random direction. We
finally found her, and she wanted nothing to do with us. But her 3 year old son
liked us, so we gave him an invitation.
Man, we spent a lot of this week trying to find some of our investigators
that totally disappeared. But we’ve mostly been teaching Dario. He’s awesome. I
was actually kind of concerned, and wanted to drop everything else, because he
realized how real this got, and if he were baptized he would have to really commit.
Apparently he likes his free time. But we shared with him some personal experiences,
and he realized how much we were alike; except for the fact that we’re not
fifty. But no, he really wants to commit and change his life, because he feels
like he's been in the dark for a long time. He came to church this Sunday and really
enjoyed it. So much so, that he fell asleep the last hour. He said it was very
peaceful. There was a member of the stake presidency who came and was getting
some alone time with Dario, and apparently they were getting into some deep
stuff, because Dario came back asking all about how the earth will become the
celestial kingdom, once it transforms and become celestialized. They came out saying
"THE CELSTIAL KINGDOM IS HERE!"
Ahh… anyways…
We tried getting Daniel Catalino to come to church, because
he really promised us that he would come, and we made it to his house, and he opens
the door and he realized what was about to happen... he just starts repeating,
"QUE HAGO, QUE HAGO, QUE HAGO!"… looking back at the clock, and back
at us, over and over again. The guy was so stuck, he had no idea what to say,
but talk out loud repeating what I was saying… “you come to church man.” Funny
people.
But yeah, not a ton happened this week.
Always, there are dogs... It’s funny… some dogs are always
with each other wherever they go. So its hard not to start singing the fox and
the hound song, "when you’re the best of friends." Then you realize
that singer pulls out some serious jive. And you can’t help but talking all day
like that. "Ey comp, cop me a sice dat boof jaunt" when all your
asking for is a cookie.
Man I love it here. And it’s super great to be here for my
birthday.
Dad that’s an incredible picture of you and the fellas back
in the day. Broncos are life.
I love you guys and I hope grandma and grandpa have a
fantastic Anniversary trip. Seems like that will be a fantastic event!
I really loved the video guys, really.

Super cool package. Maybe the coolest of packages. And me
eating skittles.
3 dollars for 32 eggs from my hook up spot. Eggs for days.
