I finally have notices!!!

wehehell, 
      Look at this. After so much time of never having notices about my move i finally have notices!! and good ones too. I´m leaving on saturday to go to the mission capital, Rosario!!! i have never served in Rosario before so i´m super stoked to go see what it´s all about. I´m going to a really big ward that works really hard. There were ton of changes in our zone, 9 out of 24 missionaries are leaving so they´ll pretty much be starting from scratch. This means i won´t really know how i´ll be calling, but i´ll try to let you know. have josh just send me emails and stuff, cuz that worked super good the last time!
      This last week we had the chance to baptize someone. Her name is Samanta, she is 18 and sooooo cool. She just knew the church was true with her whole heart. Her mom through her out of the house when she wanted to get baptized, but she kept wanting to get baptized anyway. Her mom finally decided to support her in her decisions and she went right ahead and got baptized. The best part was that her mom and her boyfriend came to the baptism and said that they both loved it so they´ll come back on sunday for sure!!!!
        Everything is pretty much back to normal in the mission... all except for Concordia... which is where i am right now... but i´m leaving!!! haha, so no worries for me. what happened here is that the cops through a fit and got payed more so now the teachers and doctors are throwing fits because they´ve seen that they can get payed more. 
        I love your letter about how great everything is!! i just have one question... who´s baby is Macie Jo? There are way too many pregnancies going on in our family for me to be sure who´s it is haha, sorry if that´s mean. I just sure hope it´s not mine.
      Merry Christmas!! because the next time we talk will be christmas day. I will try to see if i can find some way to warn you what time i´ll be calling at, but i´m not sure if i´ll be able to, so see you soon!
Loves,

Rebellions in Argentina!

Deer Mawm, 
             Thank you for your letter, i enjoyed it very much. Snow no longer exists, i have met three people in Argentina who have ever seen snow and it´s only because they traveled to other countries. Snow would be so crazy!!!! Right now it´s just the middle of summer and there is a lot of humidity, but it´s just my sweat. Save some snow for me, would you? thanks a lot, i would love that.
          Mam, the craziest thing happened. I´m totally fine, just know that i´m absolutely fine and everything is under control right now. On sunday night there was a huge break out of the citizens of the city here. i´m in a city called Concordia and all the police of this cute little city decided they wanted a salary raise and they went on strike and they told the poor people about it so that the poor people would rob the stores so that the strike had a huge effect and that people died and got injured and they had to call in the feds and it was just a huge ol´ mess. Just know that i´m so very grateful to live in a free country that has such a great government set up and protects the citizens so much! What a divine commandment that we obey the laws of the land, that´s really a huge blessing that everyone in the united states is in agreement with doing that. The police are working again, they came to an accord so everything is just fine and under control, but there are just some days when i stay in the pench the whole entire day and realize why i love the U.S. A LOT. 
          If you hear anything about rebelions in argentina just know that i´m not in it at all, i´m super safe and loving my time here. I opened my stocking and i got so excited for all the american candy! i´m going to show it to all the argentines, i hope they love it as much as i do. Just so you know i´m probably leaving this area next week, sooooo i don´t know if i´ll be able to communicate with you about how we´ll talk on christmas.... i´m probably going to be  training a new missionary in an area that´s not mine so i don´t know what i´ll use to talk to you, but we´ll work it out for sure. 
            Have  a great week this week with the christmas calender! I love you all tons! see you next week

IGOCHPAKJ!!!!!!!

Wutta Thanksgiving!!
         Wutta thanksgiving. I already knew that they didn´t celebrate thanksgiving here, but i guess i just had a little bit of hope that we would do something fun, and we did!!! we worked, but i did have a lot of desires to do some thanksgiving turkey bowl and eat at aunt Pam´s house. It´s all good though, the time is flying by so fast right now that that whole week was just like 8 hours long. 
        IGOCHAPAKIJ!!!!!!! Kolby can definately read that if nobody else gets it. it says: i got your package! but i was excited so i yelled it and the words all slurred together. But i´m so excited!!! i already put the little goo things on windows and mirrors and now it looks like a woman decorated our apartment :D Can i really not open the stocking until Christmas? I´ve held back all of my curiosity up until now, but i know you mentioned that so i just wanted to see if it´s a rule or not. THe little book i recieved from the older boys has already become treasure without measure and i can´t explain the enjoyment i know i will have when i eat all those sweet little marshmallows. 
        Christmas has begun! i´ll probably be buying the nativity scene soon, but that would be cool if you told me exactly what you are expecting out of it. Everything goes good here in my house, argentina. I´ll see you all at the movie night and dinner at durangos this saturday!
