¿Como estáis?

Fam!

Ok got to write fast.

Pictures are of me and some other people in front of my bus to leave Comodoro, all of us zone leaders at our zone leader meeting we had Thursday and Friday, Me pointing to my three different areas on the map of our mission, me to big to play on the playground and me and my new companions when we did bumper cars today!

This new area is awesome!!! I really like all the stuff in my last area but this new place rocks. My new apartment is like twice as big, there is hot and cold water, the church building is amazingly big and beautiful, the members are amazing. I keep thinking well there has to be something wrong here, but its all good! I shouldn’t have any excuses to not bring lots of people to the church here.

It is much hotter here but no wind! It’s a little greener too. There are 5 companionships including us and the hermanas of our zone. It didn’t take me long to realize the hermanas require more care but their numbers blow ours away, I don’t know why?

It was sad leaving Comodoro. Carlos came to the bus terminal and gave me some gifts and a letter. He was crying pretty bad. I will probably miss him the most.

My companion played a trick on me when he introduced me to our ward mission leader. My companion told me we were visiting a part member family and that the dad (our ward mission leader) isn’t a member and doesn’t like missionaries. When we went inside the dad started like freaking out and saying he was a Jehovah Witness. I was like holy smokes elder why did we come here. The dad then came at me and took off his shirt and he was wearing garments. It didn’t dawn on me, I was just thinking Oh my gosh this Jehovah Witness is wearing garments!! Then he came over and gave me a hug and told me it was a joke. Phew

I have only been in the area like three days because we had to travel all night Wednesday to Neuquén to have our zone leader meeting Thursday and Friday and then ride back all Friday night.
