Happy New Year 2010!

(Editor's note: Is that rolled up bologna on the pizza?  Disgusting!)

Hi family,


It´s been a good week and we got new transfers and it looks like I´m leaving again. I´ll update you on how my week went first.

Last Tuesday we taught a way good family and another dog ripped my pants, so I used a stapler to repair my pants for the moment (it was the only thing I could find). My comp and I did an activity for the ward and eeryone had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.

On Wednesday we had mission council. It was fun like always and there were some good ideas there. Something funny was that that morning we had to wake up at 3:00am in order to travel to Rosario, but when we got up there was no power in the house so we had to shower and get ready in the dark with flashlights.

For new years eve we just went to bed like always, so I didn´t see any fireworks. And on New Years Day it was P-day so we travelled with all the zone to the church in my area and we played volleyball and had a lot of fun.

Saturday was a great day. We had a lesson with Romina, we watched a church video and then talked about baptism and it was definitely one of the most spiritual lessons on my mission. Romina was balling, and we talked about the Spirit, because she always says that she doesn´t feel anything. So we pretty much called her bluff when she was crying her eyes out. I asked her to be baptized about 7 times because she was crying and would think and not respond, or she would say stuff like "well what if it´s not the right choice?" Anyway we answered all her doubts and she didn´t have any excuse not to get bapized, but then she told us that she was leaving on vacation and wouldn´t be back until the 17th, so I think she´s gonna get baptized the Saturday after she gets back.

We had another really good lesson yesterday with a family that we started teaching. The family accepted last week to get baptized on the 23rd of January, and yesterday we were teaching the mom and some of her kids in a member´s house and she started crying in the lesson too, and said she wants to be baptized.

Well so it was a great week, lots of crying, and lots of people that are gonna get baptized in January. And so last night, of course I found out that I´m leaving the area. That´s just the way things seem to go a lot of the time haha. I was only here for one transfer though!

So now I´m getting transferred to the city of Santa Fe again. And I´m not gonna be zone leader anymore, it looks like I´m getting transferred to my last area to die. My new comp and I are gonna be doing a whitewash (replacing both of the Elders that were there before), so it should be a lot of fun. I´m looking forward to it. And I´m gonna miss being a zone leader cuz it´s a lot of fun, but I feel good because both the zones I was in are doing really good now. This last transfer our zone baptized second best in the mission. There was only one other zone that baptized one more person, and it was the zone I was in right before.

Ok well I´m pretty sure that´s all I´ve got for now. Love You family!

Love,
