Getting out this week was indeed really tough. My comp was in physical therapy, and seeing doctors about his knee, and then basically they all said the same thing. He needs to lose some weight. He has gained about 20 kilos in the mission already (that's about 45 pounds). So, we are getting working on him, but he doesn't have a lot of desires to change what he is eating. So, well yeah. So, whats the address of the new house. I was going to send a package, but I don't know where to send it. So, just help me out a little bit, and let me know. This week has been way busy with trying to get everything ready for transfers. Money flying everywhere, and Buenos Aires was more than frustrated with us. The Internet was down for five days, and so they had no way of keeping track of all the stuff we were doing, but they kept seeing money appear and disappear in their account. We finally started getting things organized, and so I am working here today. And on my P-day too. Thus the reason I am writing you. I have a new companion, and it is a bitter sweet thing. I love my companion now, but I know the Elder that is coming to be my companion and he is an absolute stud! I am so excited to be with him. I met him first in January of this year. he was in my zone, and i stayed at his house every weekend for a month and a half. Then he left, and then I left Santa rosa, and now we are both meeting up in the Office again, but now we are comps! I am way excited. Things are going well here. I am really loving the work. Life kicks ya pretty hard some times-but you can kick it harder....Its one of my favorite sayings. I adapted that a few weeks ago, and that helped me get through some of the rough things that have gone on lately. I am probably feeling the best I have in my entire mission. I am feeling so good, and feeling so happy. I don't have anything to direct all of it to. or to give credit to. But I am just feeling so good right now. I love it here. I love these people, and sometimes I just don't feel like there is enough time in one day. You know what I mean? I don't speak perfect, nor am I the best missionary. But I am in love with what I do, and I know that I am being the best missionary I can be. And to my Savior, I know that's what counts. I am working hard everyday to be a better missionary, to be a better instrument in His hands. I hope one day I can reach that point.Thank you so much for all of your support, love and prayers. SIGAN ADELANTE!
