¡Hola Todos!
This was a rather rough week, but we made do with what we got. The hardest part has been finding new investigators to teach, as usual. We're still managing though because we have a rather large list of people to be visiting anyways, so we keep busy. The big highlight of the week was an area conference that we had on Sunday. President Packer, Elder Anderson, President Wixom, and Elder Zivic gave a broadcast conference from Salt Lake to every stake and district center in Argentina yesterday!!! It was so great! The talked about a good variety of topics, from family scripture study and prayer, to tithing, serving a mission, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Elder Zivic is from Buenos Aires and showed a little bit of worry in his talk because he says statistics are showing that a great majority of Argentina will go less-active in 20 years if we don't take care and spiritually mature. It was a funky conference too because Elder Zivic spoke Spanish, President Wixom didn't (live translation), Elder Anderson spoke sorta-badly-pronounced-Spanish, and Elder Packer took the English option as well. Watch out though, Elder Packer gave a subtle farewell during his testimony, saying that "perhaps" he might not return to Argentina...It was a nice conference though.
Elder Brown had his last day in the area and is now in Santiago del Estero. My new comp actually comes from his MTC group. His name is Elder Rasmussen, from Pocatello, Idaho. He a really nice, smiley guy, and excited to get going in his 2nd area of the mission. He'll probably be the elder that's going to kill me off, seeing as I only have 2 transfers left! We'll see......
Love you all!
