It was a great week this week! I am super excited to be with Elder Morel, and the fact that I am brand new helps us focus on the work because I ask questions that spur conversation about experiences Elder Morel has had on his mission. So we talk a lot about past experiences instead of plans for the future and him going home soon. He is helping me a ton with my Spanish, he is not a lazy teacher. He takes time to teach me new verbs and phrases and we practice using them. 

The work here has been very different than in Tigre. We contact so many people in the street whenever we are walking. I have had to learn (and am still learning) how to bear short and simple testimony to try and help these people feel the spirit. A lot of people that we contact don’t live in our area so we are having a hard time finding investigators but we are still working.

We tried inviting people into the church to see what it looks like instead of just street contacting and one guy said yes! We did a little tour of the church with him and used the pictures to bear testimony of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. It was awesome and we will probably try it again this week.

It is a lot harder to find people to teach here because no one really wants to talk to us but it's ok! We painted ties and name tags on a couple of finger puppets and made a little movie to show you guys how some of our contacts go on the street. I hope you will enjoy it whenever I get the chance to send it. Elder Morel and I are always having a blast. He tries to wrestle me, but I win every time. He deserves it though because he makes fun of my calves. This week he saw this dog he thought was really cute so we stopped and talked to the lady who was walking the dog and asked her about it (before bringing up the restored gospel of Jesus Christ), and then when Elder Morel was in the middle of petting the dog, it took a fresh dump right in front of him HAHAHA I was dying.

Tell Hunter and Ian to start hyping up the stake dances, they can do it! A little bit of bad news this week, the internet was out in Belgrano so we are emailing from another area and they said the computer has a virus so not to send pics and I forgot my card reader so I am not gonna risk it. I promise next week you guys will get videos and pics of Blegrano.

Love you Family!!
