Ever got the priesthood!

Moms,

         Yahoo!!! New Children :) I´ve been telling tons of people this week that i was going to have a new niece this week named Aydree. She sounds adorable! A little blondy in the Fuller family. That sucks soooo bad what happened to Jason!!! I totally have no idea what that was like, i don´t feel like mine was that bad at all. I´ll definately be praying for Him and His family. Keep me updated, eh?

         As for me the things just keep going real good here! Ever got the priesthood this week at church and got ordained to be a priest. Zunilda is still going good to be baptized on the 18th of next month which will probably be the week before i leave here. She´s just such an adorable old lady, she´s always saying how much she loves us and always always asks us if she can give us food. 

         I have quite a dilema... So i left on the mission with 2 pairs of shoes and one pair got totally destroyed in my last area so i´m down to my last pair and this past week the bottoms just wore out completely. If you could possibly send me some nice shoes or maybe like some money so i could re-sole these ones that would be sooooo so cool. There´s a place right by my pench where i could get them re-soled and i hear it´s like 30 dollars so that would probably be whole lot cheaper than buying new ones and sending them all the way here... plus they might have the same luck as my Christmas pajamas.

       As for new things, we taught a scientist who is like the very best of the best. I only know him by his first name, Julio, but we knocked his house a few days ago and passed again and taught him. He went to Princeton and his house is HUGE!!! We know he has a ton of prestige cuz we taught him with the bishop and the bishop is a doctor and only recognized Him by name for being a forerunner in science in Argentina. SUPER NEAT STUFF. Also we were doing service with some members here and we found a huge pumpkin!!! And they wanted to ask you for a recipe to pumpkin pie and also how you cook the seeds. They already tried to make pumpkin pie, but it just wasn´t the same. Or possibly the recipe for pumpkin cookies... if those even really use pumpkin.

        See you soon!      Love, Elder Emett

Two more people lined up to be baptized!!

MOm,
        Amanda and Jessica are already leaving? I don't believe you. and Jake Morley is going to Cali? that's just a vacation. Na, i'm kidding, don't tell him i said that please. Then kolby is moving in with kyle and kendall and... Remers? Josh Remers cuz last time you totally told me Dalton Reusch haha jeez i wish Kolby would talk to me.
        I totally love Kjirsten's baby's name! Dree, that's super cute. I love how she jus comes up with all her own names. There is a ton of stuff going on over there!! i'm super happy that so much is happening and that the family is happy and doing good in life.
         As for the update from Argentina- Things changed quite a lot this week. After baptizing ever we have a ton more time to be doing the things we couldn't do for the last 2 weeks so we had a ton of lessons and we were able to work a butt-load. I LOVED IT. I was always tired and i just felt so accomplished. I'm really really really trying to focus my mind on what's going on here in the area and i've been so much happier for doing that.
         And also about the flood gates, yeah, we already have  two more people lined up to be baptized in the next month and they both seem legit. A few months ago we found an old lady named zunilda who we taught like 4 times, but she just didn't accept anything we said, she was only nice. last week one of our members told us she wanted us to come over and teach her friend. when we showed up to teach her, it was zunilda!!! And having the member there just made things so much more real and practical for her that she easily accepted to be baptized and accepted everything we said. That really strengthened my testimony of the members and the huge role that they play in missionary work. We as missionaries are almost useless without them!! DO MISSIONARY WORK!!!!! The missionaries need you, the Lord needs you.
             But everything is still nice and hot here in Santa Fe. we're just waiting for things to cool down which should happen within a few weeks, they say. i'll call you soon! love you! Elder Emett

Bawled like a baby!

Thames,
          No i didn´t get transfered!!! And is that the Reynoso family??!! That are soooo awesome!! if you talk to them more tell them i miss them. yeah, we had the baptisms!!!!!!!!! It was most definately one of the very most fulfilling and spiritual touching moments in my mission. They hadn´t baptized in my area for over a year so we spent a lot of time this week cleaning the font and it still was a little dirty, but nobody noticed.  Ever´s little brother is a priest so he got the chance to baptize Ever and it was the first time that he has baptized someone. The mom was sooooo happy! Her happiness would have made it all worth it, but the best part of all for me was when Ever got up after his baptism and gave his testimony. He talked about his family, how he knows this is the church of God and how he is just so grateful. I bawled like a baby. Just seeing his progress from when we started and how he has grown so much spiritually and i was able to be there for all of it and see the peace of the gospel just flow into his life.
          A new missionary just came to my area and his name is Austin Barker. He is in my zone so we see eachother a ton. He was a defender on dixie high school´s soccer team. The one with red hair that always used head gear. It´s so awesome to be able to ask him about all my saint george peeps and see how everyone´s doing and what they´re all doing. I didn´t know Jace Wade got called to Argentina!!! That was probably the best news of all, i´m pretty sure i already knew most of what happened. 
          The other missionaries have 4 dogs that are always following them and this week we went over to their pench. Right before we got there the dogs had just been fighting so they were super bloody. I showed up and they all just started jumping on me and afterward i looked like i had just lost a gun fight, but i got it all washed off pretty good. That´s just what you have to expect when there are more dogs than people in a country and all of those dogs are strays haha great times.
              Much love, see you next times! :)

Ever is getting baptized!!

Dear mams- Yes, i sure did love the general conference! But i wasn´t there for the part about the temple in Cedar!!! That´s super neat, how long will the Saint George temple close for? Cuz i need to go there right when i get home! Yeah, Ever made it to watch like the last half hour of the last session, but he still liked it and was way excited and even invited people to his baptism. I got a load of letters in between the conference sessions! like a hundred from dad and i´m so grateful for every single one! The pictures and support he sends me and the words he writes me are absolutely priceless.
      So Ever is finally getting baptized this saturday! and his brother is going to baptize him! i´m way stoked for him, it´s really going to be the most golden little family time :) He´s so prepared i´m stoked about it. He just wants to bless his family and help reactivate his brother and mom and sister.
       Thank you so much for the money for easters!!! I promise you it was well enjoyed and will yet be. Please tell shellie and amelia happy birthday for me! and give them all kinds of hugs and high fives. Today we have transfers so i´ll let you know someday if i changed areas, but more than likely i will not because only like 5 new missionaries are coming out of the 50+ that are waiting!! at least that´s what i heard. See you soon!!        love, Elder Emett

Lots of Chocolate Eggs!

My whole family,
          Yeah, sure! Id love to tell you all about Easters here in Argentina. All the catholics get together and take olive branches back to their homes then they do activities for a week then they eat fish for one day then all go to church on sunday... tehe. Na, they do the whole easter egg stuff here too, but Easter, like Christmas, is just not that big of a holiday here unless youre catholic. When we came to church we got lots of chocolate eggs from the different organizations so it still felt like easter! AND YESSSSS Ever came to church!! and brought his family with him! his mom, as i said before, is a less active and so is his brother and his sister. Ever brought to church with him his mom, his brother, his sister and his sisters boyfriend who now wants to get baptized too!!! And, even better than that, he came in a suit and stayed for all the classes and, being all together in the last class, he participated a ton and the bishop was asking him questions and it all just worked out really great. then after church the bishop had a meeting with him for like half an hour where he just basically explained that we, missionaries, are just passing by, but he really needs to get a testimony before he gets baptized. He told us that he feels ready so he will have his ...entrevista ( i cant think of that in english right now) this week and the next week well dunk him in the waters of covenants!!! Im so excited!!! Not just for having success, but that Evers getting baptized! and that his whole family is reactivating in the church.
        I would absolutely love to have stuff from the United States to share with people here, but youre totally right, i dont know how sure it is that it will get here... i still dont have my christmas pajamas haha how silly. Thats it, its all just a big joke, the mail men here are just being silly, thats all :) Silly Carl Malone mailmen. Someone write them a tribute song. But some of the stuff gets here and i totally love every bit of it that reaches my hands so please dont be too afraid that you never send me anything else
         I dont understand the whole thing about amandas boyfriend.. Theyre both leaving on missions?? Did they just recently get together? That just confuses me haha. But tell her Good luck for me!!! and to that humility is #1. Thats so exciting. we have only gotten like one nineteen year old girl here in our mission so far, but i feel like a wave of them are about to pour in in one week when we have transfers. And im almost positive im going to stay here in this area on the beach with my son. if i leave i wont be able to see Evers baptism and i would cry for 1 day and 2 months.
            Imma get going, but ill see you at the jubilee of trees! love, Elder Emett
