One of the best

This week has been one of the best of my mission. Salta and this ward have been an incredible hospital for me. I know that now its up to me to really work and show them that i can return the favor by building the kingdom in this place. I need to learn how to serve more. My comp serves me a ton. He's always cleaning, organizing or doing something for someone. One other elder as well.  I am now very good at making my bed because i got embarrassed at how many times they did it for me before i could.... I am realizing more and more really how imperfect i am and at the same time i have never felt better. Because i know it's from Him that i know it. And i know that He trusts me and is patient. And i really do try the hardest i can to get better

A man came to church for the second time this week. His name is Miguel Quispe. He is 61 years old and the most receptive and fun little grandpa i have ever met. He lives alone in a small one room cottage made of cinder blocks and works cutting lawns and in construction. His best friend is a recent convert who is very active in the obra misional. (This brother as well invited all of his children who live separately over for a noche de hogar con otras familias y tuvimos un muy buen rato.)[home evening with other families and had a very good time] He is going to be baptized Saturday the 9th. We are quite excited. The family B who came last week didn't come. We think that the dad got nervous about a tie and couldn't find one and was embarrassed cuz he didn't own one. WE are going to gift him one this week:) they have 5 daughters....woah... 
but anyways. Its a lovely place Salta. And i wouldn't to be anywhere else right now. 

Love You All!!!

Goodbye Jujuy, Hello Salta

Salta la Lind

THINGS ARE GREAT!! i got transferred to Salta today as we finished the training period of my comp Elder E. I now am found in [transfered to] Independencia 2 in Salta Argentina with my new comp Elder S from Santa Cruz Bolivia.

Me and my new roomies, my comp is the one sitting.
He was comps with Elder E in the CCM[Spanish speaking MTC]. I am his second comp. oh and cuz i know you´ll ask.. my comp is from Guayaramerín....close to Brasil.  The area here is a ton bigger. like 5 times bigger. I´m going to be walking a ton. And it's also my first time with 4 people in the pension [apartment]. They are all pretty cool. I will continue as district leader.

My comp, Elder E,  was muy bueno and he will be a good son to continue with my legacy i left with him, just as elder K [Nick's trainer] left his legacy with me. Side note: Elder K goes home today, having completed his mission. He has a marriage date already for June. I´m sure you´ll all be invited. 

Me and Elder E eating pancakes at 130 in the morning cuz i was packin
l absolutely loved Conference. I learned a ton (more like remembered significantly) a lot of things about leadership. Dad...they werent able to show us conference, technology and hour difference...could you send me a cd or sd card with the talks?

 I am better of the stomach and now eat as i please;)
I hope coco gets better. There are a ton of dogs here and they bite lots of things. 

Mom...I need some new shirts.  like 4 would be great. some of the more used shirts i have are absolutely destroyed. i left some behind in Jujuy cuz i couldn't clean the collar....it was growing mold...yay for humidity .....yay...

I am super excited and humbled to work here in salta. Look for the instruccions given in conference and apply them for the next six months. !!
Love you all
