This week was super great!!!!

Beloved Mother,

       This week was a super great week!!! That woman i told you about, Norma, got baptized and her whole entire family came to church. Out of the 15 family members that she had in church, only 2 of them are members and they were both incactive for a really long time. The bishop was a total boss and was talking to them a ton before the meeting. It was a fast and testimony meeting, and i´ll have to say one of the most powerful that i have ever experienced!! I got up to give my testimony and when i said that it was my last week in argentina i just started bawling and wasn´t even able to say any more words, i just bawled then sat down ha, i´m such a baby. There was a member from our ward who got up and talked about Norma´s husband (who was a member but had died) and how he used to bare his testimony about how he wanted his family to accept the gospel. Then the member said that the she can´t even imagine the joy of the husband (being there in the room with us just separated by the veil) because all of his family was there in church. After the baptism the bishop pulled almost all of the ´´new investigators´´ aside and talked to them about us passing by! Almost all of them said yes. AHHHHHH coolest bishop ever. so we have tons of work to do this week. The bishop wants us to teach all of them and give him a report a.s.a.p.

        On sunday in the afternoon our mission president gave a fireside for all of the investigators and recent converts. he asked that one of our recent converts, Alan, give his testimony about the change that the gospel has had in his life. Alan gave such an awesome testimony, it was just powerful and spiritual. He is 18 right now and has 2 main goals in his life right now 1)finish high school and 2)go on a mission!! so he always goes on divisions with us and asks us if he can help us go out and teach... and he got baptized a month ago!!!! such a cool kid.

        Nonetheless, with all the excitement, the weeks have not ceased to fly. I´m scared out of my mind to go home. But mom, please don´t think that it would be a disappointment to come home from a mission to our family. I was talking about our family with my companion the other night as we looked at the big laminted picture you gave me before i left. I realized what an amazing family we have!!! i hadn´t really ever thought about it like this before, my companion helped me open up my mind a little bit and he says that he is way jealous of our family and now he wants to have a ton of kids so that he can raise a family like the one you and dad have. All of your children are successful in the world, on their way to being dentists, orthodontists, or already are accountants, real- estate agents, and dental technicians. The majority of them have the most important thing nice and clear because they got married in the temple and are forming eternal families which is surely the goal for all. Apart from that we spend time together as a family and you and dad regulate that so well!!! I don´t think i´ve ever met a family that´s so united or so successful in every way. I´m stoked beyond belief to go back and be with the family, but that doesn´t take away from the fact that i´m scared, and that (for a while) i´m going to be dead weight for such a progressive family.

      Thanks for the email!! That one made me feel especially welcome haha see you tomorrow
