ok so im really sorry about last weeks letter SUPER lame but to be perfectly honest it was a super lame week! but this week has been just CRAY!!! ive given about a million blessing, we had a baptism, taught lessons in church, contacted, and have had to travel like crazy.... im tired!!!!! and dang Argentina law reminds me of dad hahahaha!!! but  i absolutely love blessings in Spanish the spirit is just always there and its amazing to have the authority to literally speak gods words! i love it the language is HELA tricky but such a blessing at the same time !

so i learned a very valuable lesson this week that was really hard for me to understand. everyone needs baptism EVEN if they don't understand or have all the lessons and principles of the gospel because people NEED the holy spirit to teach them. because lets be honest who teaches better the spirit or 2 18 year old kids. this was hard because dang the MTC BRAINWASHES US !!!!!!!!!!!!!! but now all is good and im so dang ready to help people have one of the most amazing experiences of their lives!!! AL AGUA PAPA MAMA Y HIJOS!!!!!!!!!

so i gave a lesson in priesthood about blessings and how we give them correctly because for 1 their is a TON of wrong stuff like bad apostasy in Argentina and because out of the 5 Melchizedek priesthood holder in capilla non of them knew the words for blessings and how they are properly done! DANG the old men here do not like us missionary's because they really don't like being taught the proper way that things are done in the church hahahaha but its all good :P

and so we are in charge of a pair of sisters and they live like 2 hrs away and they are SO HIGH MAINTENANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! literally we where their helping them contact people and they are so LAZYYY we literally wasted the entire day! then we get home and the next morning they call us and are like yeah we have a ghost in our house and we need you 2 to come here again and bless it............ my comp and i just looked at each other and said well your going to have to ask a priesthood holder in your area to do that because we actually gotta work. so we work for a day then we get a call and my comp needs to go to Cordoba for some paperwork. and Cordobas like 4 hrs away so its basically a day trip. so we go to Cordoba and when we get to the police station the church's law guy tells me to run really fast and grab a ton of soda and food so i do it and im like sweet lunch but then my comp look at me and goes you know this food isn't for us right? and im just like WHAT WHY and just looks at me laughs and goes dude the papers we need get done 100% illegally!!!! so in Argentina the church bribes the CRAP out of the gov and cops with food and A TON of cash to let us in the county hahahahah THATS TOTALLY SOMETHING DAD WOULD TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh i love this country!!!

and im so happy that yall got to go to Mexico and play!!!!!! and dad im so excited to see what ya got ! and CRAY IM SO SORRY!!! i don't remember breaking your bosch but if i did i am sooooooo sorry seriously not cool!!!!!!! and hey so i have a Q! do you guys want me to try and send packages because Ive talked to a lot of elders and they say its CRAZY expensive and apparently it never gets to the states... so do yall want me to keep them packed away and when i get back we can a super good Christmas !!!??
