Happy News!

Another couple in our ward finally can get married! Their divorce papers came through. So He can get baptized! He has been coming to church for over a year now, and I am so happy that he will finally be able to receive all of the blessings of baptism that he has been waiting for. He is so happy, you should see him. Oh, the whole family just looks so good. I kind of hope I can still be here for it... Also, I don't know if I told you or not, but I did divisions with another elder in his area one day, and we found a family of five people, and they are awesome. Well, it was sad because I didn't get to teach them more, but I got to go see their baptism, and it was so happy! To get to see things like this makes all of your hard times worth it. Really really. This transfer is winding down, and I don't know if I will still be in Punta Alta anymore as of Dads birthday on the twelfth. I actually want to stay here longer, but I am sure that is how every missionary is, wanting to stay in their area. I love the people here, members, investigators, even the people in the street. I just love it. We found another amazing family this week. Betty and Juan and their two kids. Betty has been going to her Evangelical church for 8 years but hasn't been baptized because she felt like she was missing something. She also had questions of what Jesus Christ did after his time in Jerusalem. After we taught her, she was so happy, she said, ¨Maybe Joseph Smith, and the real authority is what I felt was missing, and maybe the book or Mormon has the answers I have been looking for. Of course I will pray to see if it is true.¨ We are praying for her that she can receive her answer. Thank you all for all your support. I love you all, and you are in my prayers.
So, the first is the Cides Family. We spent some time them, her son has a burning testimony and he is going to get baptized where they just moved to.
We like tacos, and we ended up making and eating tacos just the two of us in our little house. Christmas eve Dinner
The MontaƱos give us lunch a lot, and the daughter(Florencia) Just received her mission call to Temple Square. She will be leaving in February! Oh...and I am not drinking wine in this picture...haha
This is me playing at the park one day...yeah I am still a little kid at heart
I found Christmas in Argentina! Woohoo!
These are some of my best friends in the mission. They are both from Chile, and they are cousins. Elder Veliz and Elder Veliz. Both have had time in my district, and I have done divisions with them both.
Play boy mansion is three blocks away from my house. And about 2 months ago, we put Chastity Pamphlets under the door. I didn´t think it would do anything, but worth a shot no....hahahaha.
