Family!
Sorry everyone, but I gave a false alarm. I’m not leaving this Monday for Argentina. I don't have my visa yet so I am delayed. Only 1 our of the 5 missionaries in our district going to Argentina got their visa and is leaving Monday, Three of us (me, Elder Phelps, and Elder Tavoin) are delayed and staying here, that will be my new companionship, another Trio :) My companion Elder Anderson is going to be serving in the US someone till he gets his Visa. He doesn't know where or when yet. I guess the Argentine Consol got the swine flu and has been out the past month. They told me I should probably have it by the end of this month. So sorry for the false alarm. But that does mean I will probably get to call you when I do get my new flight plans :) and I will have more time to take those pictures you want mom before I send the memory card back. I still don't know If I will be able to get all the pictures you wanted on that list. Some I had already taken on my other card. But everything else is going well here :) I think I’m starting to like the MTC more now. It really is such an awesome place, and I’m learning like craaaazzzy. Next week I’m not exactly sure what I'll be doing because our teachers get new districts to teach on Wednesday. I’m told we will get to spend a lot of time in the referral center. Which is pretty cool because I really like it there. I have done a few outgoing calls in Spanish and didn't understand very much at all, haha but it is great! We got to hear Elder Holland at the last Tuesday night devotional. It was so awesome! He told us how important this one time chance on a mission will be. That he doesn't think a single day has gone by without him thinking of something on his mission. That if he would have wasted any time he would still have an awful regret. He also told us the power of words. We have to learn to speak and speak well. Preach my gospel is the first missionary teaching technique that missionaries don't memorize. It’s so cool! First I have to learn the language though...

Sounds like things are still going good at home, which is the most important thing I want to hear from you. I didn't get to go to the CES fireside, or even know about it. Haha Im really sorry for opening my Christmas present already! It didn't come in a package and it was addressed to Tyrel Tryon so I didn't think it was it and also because I got another package the same day from Tyler and Amber which I thought was from you. So I had my companion open it for me and he just started to laugh :) Thanks for the Cookies though Amber and for the pictures :)
Yes please keep sending Keeley, Jason and McCoy's emails through dear elder. It is very nice.
I did get my missing garment top, thank you very much :)
I just have one more favor to ask, if you can dad, do you think you could get my line of authority? and send that to me? I keep thinking I will need it.
It's good to hear your staying busy dad, with everything haha. Don't go to crazy with the buisness!
Love you all!!!!!!
Elder Tryon
Darn swine flu!
