Mission Dreams Accomplished...

Happy Birthday Mom!!!
                                It just so happens that on saturday, your bday,
one of my mission dreams was accomplished... I saw 6 whole people pass
by on one little motorcycle! It was crazy. The order of people from
front to back was a young kid, kid, mom driving, another kid, another
mom, and a baby on the second mom´s hip. But at least they were
wearing helmets, oh wait, they didnt have any.. It was a crazy thing
to see alright. The week in general was pretty slow. Transfers is this
week and i am staying here. I also got a package
that was stuffed to the bursting point with a new sweatshirt! Sadly
though, the chocolate chips that were inside the nalgene bottle all
melted and resolidified as one big chunk that wouldnt come out of the
bottle. So, knowing that nalgene bottles dont ever break, i began to
throw it on the ground to try and break up the chocolate mass so i
could get it out. The very first throw happened and the top of the
nalgene bottle busted off and chocolate went everywhere.. It was a sad
moment when all the dust cleared and i realized what i had done... But
thanks for the stuff haha :) Have a great week!!
Love your son in Argentina.

Hey dad,
. My week was alright. My comp got sick and for a couple of days we were
grounded to the pench by his sickness. I tried to stay productive and
read and i actually sewed my pants. But as a missionary when you have
to just be locked up in the pench all day long it is probably one of
the most boring things that there is on this planet. I have the
options of reading, studying, or fixing broken things. I installed a
new door handle and lock the other day to our back door that didnt
have one and we recently fixed a whole in the roof where water and
cold air would sneak in. Ive found out that when I have ever had a
need for something here in the mission and i express my desires to
find such thing, the Lord always provides. Like yesterday, I was
telling the guys to keep their eyes out for some cardboard so we could
patch up the holes in the pench. The other 2 missionaries left, we
live in a 4 man pench, and they came back in twenty seconds later with
two big cardboard boxes. I think that it was a blessing that they
found them so fast and just right outside our house, the Lord always
takes care of his sheep, that is a fact. Thats all for now. Love you dad!
ps. I´ll be praying that you do good on the boat and that you stay safe.
