We´ve had a really good week here. We just got back from the temple actually. We get to go every 3 months and its always good to go. Its kinda cool in spanish too. I really like getting to see all of my missionary friends when I go because we have such a good time together. Well one of the missionaries that was in my district in the MTC got sent home while we were there...he is now back here in Argentina. All of us from the district have a year in the mission and its a little weird to see him with just a couple weeks...good to see him though. Well this family of gold is still a family of gold. They came with us last sunday to stake conference, in another city! We had to take the bus and all and all of them came and loved it. They have a baptismal date for the 27th of Dec. They are so good. Mom and dad are 28-27 years old, 23yr brother of the dad, and 3 kids. One is 8, 6, and 2 months. They are bolivian and are so nice. Live in the villa but have a decent house in comparison to the rest. They have a little shop in their house where they sew clothes and sell them. Well President Benton was at the stake conference and after we were waiting outside for the bus. He drove by and then stopped and got out of the 4runner. He came over and said hi to this family of gold and to us and asked them if they were preparing for baptism. They all said yes. It was so cool that President did that. We also had our interviews with him and he said I had to tell you...my parents...that I was one of the best missionaries in that he had. So I told you. I still look up to a lot of other missionaries a ton. Especially the ones with a lot more time that are good zone leaders, assistants, ect. Well we stopped 2 guys from killing themselves sunday. One by the train tracks...he was drinking a lot and said he wanted to kill himself, so we taught him and at the end he said he wanted to change a be like us...pretty cool. The decorations looked great and sammy always looks so funny. Tell jack I still hate him and kick cats every time I have the chance. By the way, we are going to have another baptism this sat. She is named Nancy and is 8. Her parents died a while ago and she lives with her grandma who got baptized about 8 months ago. It will be a good little baptismal service.
