Let's try this again, shall we......
Okay here comes round 2! Sorry to all those who we didn't know how to get a hold of to let you know about Monson's plane (sorry brother thomson) but here is the latest......His plane arrives tomorrow, Friday at 10am on Delta (hopefully) coming from Atlanta. We do know that the plane left Argentina this time and is enroute. If you do come down to the airport in the morning, it would probably be a good idea to call or text me first to make sure nothing else has gone wrong =P My number is 602-214-6888 See ya there!!!! =)

Hey familia!!
Alright, I know I only got a week left and this is probably my last email but I don’t want to talk about that. I’m not nervous or sad, I’m just a normal guy trying to finish out my mission =D
The picture is of my great achievement from yesterday. It’s just showing how really old I am in the mission.
We had a baptism and it might have been one of our smoothest I’ve had in the mission. It was for 10 year old Francisco. Maybe the only problem we had was the not too warm water. He came out of the water with a big gasp, poor little guy. You could tell our ward is doing good because even with a ten year old getting baptized there were about 50 people there. Probably a fourth of them were investigators and less actives.
We have two more baptisms for this Saturday that I’m really excited for. We are going to baptize every week now without stopping.
The Morales family in our ward is on fire. The dad is the one that was inactive about 30 years that is now our ward mission leader. His son is Maxi Morales that recently was baptized. Yesterday they took us to "el campo" with some friends for lunch. It’s like a ranch in the middle of the desert way far from anything, and it was cool cause it had a little wild spring that they got water from. We did an asado (Argentine BBQ) that was so good. Afterwards we got to share some chocolate chip cookies that my companion and I made for dessert and then a little spiritual thought. It was cool because there were like 30 people. The Morales family was just talking up a storm with everyone about the church and us missionaries. Made me feel special :)
Well I’m about to go start the best week of my mission so I’ll see everyone in about a week and a half! Love ya´ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup I’m Argentine
Dearest Family,
New Record! Yesterday we had 11 investigators at church! There were also 3 other people that are investigating the church but we can’t start teaching them because they live outside our area limits.
We really had an awesome week. We are so busy! I’ve never had so much work to do, so many people that want to listen to us! I personally think it’s just because we are two goofy Arizonan gringos that make everybody laugh. We have been blessed with so many miracles that I don’t even know which ones to talk about!
Lets just say we have 1 or 2 lined up for baptism this week, 2 or 3 for the next week and 4 for the following week. We have so much work to do... My greatest joys and blessings fulfilled are events that are occurring now in my mission. I think I know more now than ever before that God´s richest blessing are way better than anything of this world! It’s really divine. I love Heavenly Father for His eternal love for me. And that is what makes me love you guys so much! I love you all!

4th of July! Argentine Pride!
Hola Familia,
Happy 4th of July! Nothing too different today here being the 4th of July and all. I did buy some way cool Argentine stuff though!
Lots of cool experiences this week.
Do you know how Ammon & Aaron in the Book of Mormon got so many baptisms on their mission? Well there are lots of things, but one way was that he baptized the king! Here in Roca one of the kings have been baptized. His name is Maxi Morales which just so happens to be our best friend as well. Everyone knows him and we are just racking in the contacts. He is way excited as well, and shares the gospel and his experiences with all his friends! But if you think about it, who wouldn’t share awesome experiences that the gospel brings to people you care about? It’s the GOOD NEWS!
When we went to visit them this week, we came inside and noticed all the furniture was changed and when we asked what the occasion was they told us "now we can more comfortably do our Family Home Evenings." = )
One of his friends that went to the wedding, baptism, church twice now, and many other cool experiences with Maxi, already has read a big portion of the Book of Mormon, has prayed, and consequently wants to be baptized. His name is Nicolas :) Another family came to church that are friends who were also at to the baptism. They don’t live in our area but are equally cool.
Our miracle with Jesus last week has resulted into more miracles this week. He has accepted to be baptized for the 23rd. The spirit was there and you could see the happiness in him and even more in his wife Bianca
We had a pretty cool experience with the wife’s brother who has been in the hospital. He has Epilepsy (I’m not sure if that’s what its called in english) and finally on Friday he was doing well enough that we could go visit him in the hospital. The mom who isn’t a member was really happy to see us give him a blessing. He was pretty drugged up and in “lala land” when we got there. It was actually very funny seeing him all drugged. We gave him a blessing but before we did Bianca, his sister, asked the people who were sharing the room with him (that had a sick baby) if they would like to be part of the blessing. They said yes but I was like, umm… the blessing is a one at a time thing, and so after explaining that to them they agreed to just have us bless the baby in a prayer. So we did a prayer asking for guidance and for a blessing on both the boy and the baby then I anointed and my companion gave the boy a healing blessing. After that blessing Bianca asked the other people if they would like a healing blessing as well for their baby. Bianca is so awesome, she didn’t just ask if they wanted a blessing, she also showed lots of love and bore her testimony as well and they accepted. The baby’s name is Fabrisio and they told us he had weak bones. This time my companion anointed and I blessed. I’m so grateful to be a servant of the Lord! On Sunday, Bianca´s brother was already at home and they told us the baby had already got to go home too. I know it’s not always God´s will that a priesthood blessing heals the person completely but I do know these two were both blessed greatly and their families as well.
Hermana Blanca, that was baptized a little over week ago, is just so happy and wants to help everyone. The bishop still hasn’t given her a calling so she took her own initiative. It was so funny, she decided to make us dinner everyday! She was like you guys need to eat better so I’m going to make you vegetables to eat every night. Haha I’m not too excited to eat tons of vegetables but it’s way sweet anyway!
¡Gracias por todo! ¡Los quiero tanto a ustedes! :D
