Hey everybody....

Elder Andy reporting from the offices of the Mission Argentina Bahía Blanca!I get to TRAIN!!!!!!!!! Or in other words. Only a month and a half more in the office, and i get to go be a normal missionary again! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO! I am training an Elder named Elder Thorne from Payson Utah. I was in Acha when he started his mission. He started in the same zone as Acha-so i already know him. EXCITING NO?!!!! I sure think so. Well, I will be with him in the mornings showing him the ropes and the numbers of the mission. And then in the afternoons and in my area of Villa Mitre Alto, I will be with another Chilean. I will be with Elder Astorga! I am so excited I cant even tell you.

Stereotypes of the office:It is common knowledge that everyone leaves the office more serious people.....It is common knowledge that everyone leaves the office 5-10 kilos more.......It is common knowledge that everyone leaves the office trunky....... And I say HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH to all of it.... I am still crazy, as everyone here in the office including president, considers me the ¨Bright Side of the office¨ I began my mission at 165 pounds, and I am now only at 170 lbs. Fatter yes, but I have lost weight since I was in Acha....hahaha I have never been happier to be in the mission than I am now. I have nothing to make me trunky! haha In others words....I defy stereotypes, and I am still happy and ready to go for this work. Indeed you may say that this email is a little different or strange, but its just kind of an informatory email. For those of you who have had a question as to what my signature means, let me explain. President Spitale taught us a lesson on how we accept commandments of God. Whether its through our Priesthood leaders, or Apostles and Prophets. We have the Telestial, Terestrial, and Celestial Responses. Telestial- We think to ourselves, ¨Really?!¨ Terestrial- We think to ourselves, ¨They´re right, I should do that.¨ Celestial ¨I will do it always, and better everytime.¨ (its a bit rough gramatically in English, but it works in Spanish)I have tried to adopt this phrase into my daily studies, the hours, the rules, and in general the gospel. I say this to myself every morning to help give myself more focus for the day. I just have it signed on, just for that.

Here are some pictures for you guys:

Elder Andy

¨Lo haré siempre, y cada vez mejor!¨
