Miracles happen! Both at home and in Argtentina!

Hello Everybody!!!!
     Wow, life at home sounds crazy! Everything from the car problems, to the stake water activity (which sounded like a lot of fun), to Dallins basketball lessons haha! But I do have one question. Dad, you said you will be going to Bluewater for Trish and Gordons big day, but what is this big day? I haven´t heard anything about it! Amy, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I never got to meet her, but she sounded like an amazing woman! Mom, Im glad you are really starting to enjoy seminary now! Who all do you have in your class, amybody that I know? Dad, come on, seminary isnt that bad! I got to teach it a few times before leaving and I really enjoyed it!
       Well, we had an incredible week, and we found a few people who are amazing. First we were walking in the middle of nowhere and we see this guy sitting on this little hill. But he starts yelling ¡Hermanos, venir! or come here! (Usually when this happens they are super drunk) luckilly this time he wasnt. His name was Jose Barverdi, and he just tells, Hermanos, I need your help. I know you have God on your side, and that is what I need. Then through his tearsf he told us how he just lost his job and how about a month back his son had an accident at work and cant walk. So there we taught the plan of salvation and about the priesthood. So tomorrow he is having us come over to give his son a priesthood blessing. So that will be interesting. But he is an awesome guy! And then yesterday we had a sita with an investigator, pero it fell through. Of course we were pretty sad and frustrated because it was the 2nd that day that fell through. But we decided to just try contacting some houses farther down that road. So we are walking y I recieved a prompting to stop at a house. So we clap y a lady answers. We start talking to her through another barred door and I pull out a picture of Christ  and start to give it to her but I stop. I pull it back and instead I grab a pass along card with the question ´´Can we live with our families after this life?´´. She read it and she just looks up at us and starts crying. She opens the barred door and comes outside with us. She tells us, ´´I have had that question so many times lately. My mother just passed away 15 days ago. Can you answer that question?´´. So we also taught her the plan of salvation and she got so excited when we promised that she can live with her mom again. So we have a return sita with her for this week. The problem its about an hour walk from the pench, but its so worth it!
      We got to go back and have another lesson with Natalia this past week! But we ended up reading with her from the Book of Mormon and it went great! We committed her to keep reading and then to pray. And then we set  baptismal date for her. It will be a lot of work because she has a smoking problem, but with the Lord on our side, we can get over that road block!
     Well, sounds like everybody is doing amazing at home. Thank you all so much for your Love and your support. Have a great week and I look forward to hearing from you next week! I love you all!!

Life is great!!

Hello from Rodeo del Medio!
     First of all Mom, the reason I got all seven letters at the same time is because they all get sent to the mission office, then we have to wait until we see somebody from the offices of somebody in the zone or district has the chance to go to the offices!! And packages are just unpredictable, maybe they are coming or maybe the people in Buenos Aires opened and took my stuff who knows haha! But this week we had intravistas (interviews) with Presidente Avila, which was awesome. He seriuosly such a great guy. And this interview was so much better than my last one because he doesnt know english, but I was able to actually understand him and talk to him this time, it was great!! But I recieved some mail this time too! I got my birthday package from you Mom!! Thank you so much for the shirt and ties Mom, and family! They were great! Then Aunt Lisa and Uncle Rowe, thank you sooo much for the package. One thing Argentina lacks here is candy. They dont really have any. But real american candy was so great! And Lisa and Rowe, you must have had some revelation or something, because that stick of deoderant came at the perfect time haha! I had just finished off my last one that morning and I was dreading having to buy more here since it is pretty expensive. Then mom, I recieved some wonderful letters from the Houstons and the Kimbers. Could you tell them thank you so much, and that I am putting a letter in the mail for them very soon! And man, I am so excited, another little niece or nephew on the way!! So excited. But will it be 3 new nephews or 2 nephews with a little niece to come home to. Man, this is all just so exciting. But Amy, I am so sorry about your Grandma. I hope it all works out for you and for her. But just remember, the Lord has control over it and he knows what is best for all of us! But know that I am praying for you!
      So this week was pretty good. Oh Dad, so after the treck about a year ago, I promised myself I would never eat corn meal mush again. And guess what I had at one of our member lunches, a huge bowl of corn meal mush. And im talking like 3 pounds of this stuff!! They put a little drop of this chili stuff on top which was supposed to help I guess, but yea, it didnt. But some how I was able to finish it haha!
     So exciting news form here, we had 2 new investigators attend church with us yesterday! It was so awesome! The ward was so... ah dang what is the word haha, oh welcoming haha sorry! But they felt so loved and were even participating in the lessons and answering questions! It was way cool. And the Familia Vasquez came, and one other!! So we had 7 investigators at church! It is so cool how it is making the ward excited too. They see us having some success so they are like wow, its acually possible. I think we will help them now! So slowly the work is growing here in Rodeo del Medio. We found an awesome new this week as well named Natalia. We were contacting a less active on the ward list, but we knocked on the wrong house on accident, and found Natalia haha. She just let us right in and we taught her the Restoration. She is really interested, so we are returning this week to teach her about the wonderful Plan of Salvation! But the Lords helps us out so much and guides us to people who need the gospel and are prepared. Even by something as simple as having you not realize that you are knocking on a different house, and that you are actually in a whole different neighborhood haha! But it is amazing to see these daily miracle stake place!
     Sounds like home is nice and busy as usual! Dad, are you improving with your Mr. Mom skills? The kids are nice and busy with sports. And man, the high school has turf? I basically played in dirt there!! Mom, how is seminary treating you? Sounds extremely tough, time consuming, but very rewarding. Well, have an amazing and thank you so much for all you do! I love you all!
