Hi Mom,Are you driving back from Arizona? Hope you and sammy girl make it back safe and fast. Are you going to beat my record of 12 and a half? Hhaha. I dont think dad was too happy about that one. Well all is well here. Hope you like the pics. We have some great people getting ready to be baptized. 2 young women the 15th. A young man named Ariel that was a reference from a member the 22nd. Two 25 year olds that are living together that are not married are going to get married the 20th and then baptized the 22nd! We are so excited for them because we´ve been pushing them for this and we went 3 times with them to set a marriage date in the public offices. For whatever reasons we couldnt the first two attempts, but 3rd times a charm. We also have 3 girls from a family that should also be getting baptized the 22nd. Alls well here. My comp is a great guy. We made pancakes this morning that were good. Not like yours and dads but good. We really need a good pancake griddle here. The pan over the stove is just not the same. The middle is always raw. Thats what people say about me. Hhaha. Well Mom I love you and hope that you get back home safe.

Hi Mom,
Sounds like your having a great time in Arizona. All the mountain biking is making me a little sick to the stomach but Ill be alright. So Sammy girls first tooth came out? Hhahaha. That so funny that Grandpa and her made a special pillow and all. She is growing up so fast. I have sent Dad just about all the pictures I had, but my companion has to send me a couple more so I can send them to you. The last 5 that got baptized I dont think youve seen them. Of the 12 people who got baptized 3 were from a less active family, 8 were 2 families that we found clapping houses, and 1 was a reference from a member. My companion said that the Calgary stampede is so sweet and that we have to go when we get back. He said that the carriage races are very dangerous. He also said that lake Banff is amazing. We get along well. He is very calm and spiritual. He loves all sports too. We went to the temple today and I put Bens name in the temple. We just had a great conference with Elder Zivic from the 1st quorum of the seventy. He is very powerful and taught us many good things. We have found some great investigators this last week. One family was basically just waiting for us. They have been passing through some hard times and were waiting for a priest from a church to give their grandma a blessing. Well we showed up and gave the blessing and taught them the first lesson. They loved it and Im sure will be getting baptized soon. We have 1 baptism planned for the 8th and 2 for the 15th right now. Ok good you guys sent the card to buy the covers. Also if you and Dad were going to apply my to BYU you have to do it before Oct 1st I think. Well Mom I love you so much. I know that this is the Lords work and that he guides us.

Hi Mom,
So your still kickin it in Arizona. Well guess what we finish this transfer with 12 baptisms. What a miracle. The next highest companionship had 6...YEA! Dont worry my head is not too big and I recognize the hand of the Lord in this work. Our zone also had the highest number with 24. It was so sweet. I also got a new companion and he is from Canada. His name is Elder Archibald. He is from Alberta. We are both zone leaders here and he has a transfer more than me. Im glad to be with him. No I didnt kill the volley ball on a sister but I did on my companion and he got so mad...hahaha! By the way the wrestling was during the game...I dont really remember how it started but I do remember how it finish. The ward is doing great about the new members. Some are really poor and the members brought them tons of clothes and diapers for the babies and stuff. OK I was actually just about to ask you guys for money to get those scripture covers. They are so sweet here and have some of the best pictures that I have ever seen. Seriously, the work is excelent. I want one for my quad and grandma wants like 6 right for quads or what? They cost 120 pesos each so thats like $40 a piece. They are worth every penny. So I dont know how to get the money here. I heard that you could send me a debit/credit card thats new in the mail...then you could email me the password so that nobody can use it. I would love to get some so tell me what you think. Plus the lady that does them can put any church picture on them because "copyrights" dont exist down here, making them even sweeter. Hhaha. So keep doing that good temple work. Ill keep doing mine and we can bring many souls to the presence of the Father. Mom I love you so much.

Hi Mom,
Well my legs and back are sore. We just played volley ball as our zone activity. We played for about 4 hours. Well during the game this latin and I got into a little wrestling match...and Yes America won. Hhaha. The sister missionaries werent too happy. Im glad to hear that Alex had a good time at EFY. I wish the cracker would have written me about it. Yes the swine flu is here and its so dumb. I dont even believe in it and I think its just talk. Supposedly 84 people in all of Argentina have died from it, Im sure that much more than 84 people die a year here from the normal flu. Bla bla bla. We still had our 4 baptisms saturday. It was a great service and the kid that I baptized said "that was sweet" right as he came out of the water. I started to laugh and so did all the members. Our misson has districts and zones. There are 8 zones and about 3 districts in each zone. I was first a district leader and now a zone leader. We are already tied with our zones record for baptisms and still have week 6 to go. Week 6 is always the biggest baptizing weak. We have 7 baptisms planned for this week here in our area. We made the rootbeer with the concentrate, boiling sugar and water, and then using carbonated water. Well mountain biking sounds so fun and so does seeing the Elk. I remember well when we saw them so close. Sammy girl sounds like her oldself. Yes Hint hint, for me when I get back so I can jump the golf cart. Mom I love you and Im happy.

Hi Mom,
Your 4th of July sounded pretty sweet. I do remember that cold swimming pool and always wanted to got back but I never remebered where it was. Thats cool that you stopped at the sattelite place too. Hhahah about Alex Oldroyd. Hhahah. And of course Alex was driving. Im doing good and we had 3 baptisms on the 4th. Then we made our own rootbeer homeade and rootbeer floats. It was cool. We did have a ton of people in church 2 sundays ago and they are all starting to get baptized. But now we cant even go to church for the dumb A flu thing. All meetings except baptisms have been suspended for three weeks. What the? So last sunday we took an investigator to a members house and did the sacrament there. The zone is doing great too and we have 10 baptisms right now and still have 2 more weeks in the transfer. My comp will be leaving...well thats what we think and I will stay and get a new comp in 2 weeks. That so weak that the weak pigs stopped you from shooting fireworks. Hhahaha, Im sure that grandma was mad. Thats cool about the fish and the snake too. So Alex is in EFY right now? Im sure he is having a great time. Im greatful for having been born in America too. I love that land and will kiss it when I get back, hahaha. I love you mom so much and I have a strong testimony of this work.
