hey mom sorry that this letter is super late we had a bit of a wild start to the week and didn't have time to do emails Monday. so this week we managed to find a new house/garage, i learned some interesting things about what happens when you give 18-21 yr old boys cars in Argentina, and fashion tips from my comp.

so last week we got a call from the pentionero and he told us that our contract for our house was up and we had 1 day to pack the WHOLE DANG HOUSE UP AND FIND A NEW PLACE TO STAY!!! freak it was P day too dang it!! haha so we pack it all up and found well.... a garage to stay in for the next month till we can find something more permanent. its pretty nice its just well a garage with a bathroom. only problem is that it doesn't have ventilation for our gas water heater so that's a little sketchy every time we shower we just get knarly headaches from the gas hahah gotta love Argentina :P but at least now we don't have to worry about our stuff being robbed and we can sleep soundly knowing that we wont be woken at 5:30 to a crazy drunk girl trying to get in hah! 

so when we moved into the new house the elders from the office came up from Cordoba to check it out pay and sign some papers. important part they came up in one of the office cars!!! so after we get all settled my comp and i decided to just catch a ride with the office elders because we had to be in Cordoba the next day anyway so we hop in this 2014 peugeot that's sorta a sportier version of the Honda accords and that's when i finally understood why my parents gave me the truck not one of the hondas..... WE HALLED A TO CORDOBA!!!!!!! its like a 4 HR DRIVE AND WE DID IT IN LIKE 2 hahahahahahah it was TERRIFYING!!! the elder who was driving had only been driving like a MONTH and it didn't help that all the cars here are manual also. the kid was a hot mess he was stalling out, accidentally tuning off the lights, and swerving bad!! it also didn't help that the cars tires were BALD and it was also raining hard!! needless to say i have a firm testimony of the power of prayer cause without gods protection that night the world would be down 4 elders haha 

so i now am a PRO at skinning ties like pro! all those TERRIBLE ties we got from DI everyone wants now because they are soooooo dang cool skinny! i love it we look like such goobers but no biggy gotta do what ya gotta do to stay sane on the mission :) 

i love ya all soooo much remember to keep it together while im gone! be patient and just love each other ok :) READ YOUR SCRIPTURES, GO TO CHURCH WITH A HAPPY HEART(Huston), and again just be patient with each other!!! 

i love you all to death and miss you like crazy! thank you for all your prayers, support and love tambien! 

Te amo, Elder Jackson
