HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May 28, 2012

so i have no time because we reserved a paddle court to go play and
theyre open9ign early for us and were already late but it will be fun.
if oyu wrote me a long letter, i printed it so i could give it the
time it deserves. we baptised 5 people this weekend. so it was pretty
awsome. the zone leaders bought me a cake and elder bethers got me a
cool little thing and were gonna go have fun now. thank everyone so
much for the birthday wishees. you all make my life so beautiful, it
is impossible to be down for long.

I believe you, but my tommy gun don't! May 21, 2012

So yeah, youd never guess how many argentines are either sleeping,
about to shower, at the hospital or at their moms house, at all hours
of the day, all at the same time. its like every door we knock, and it
went from maddening to funny long ago, youd get a kick out of it.
sometimes were like "showering? at 4 p.m? thats so wierd, so is
everyone else on the block!" and theyre just like... yeah well...
(door slowly closes). so we learn patience, haha.
 Its been a great week though, we had 6 in church, a few that we didnt
even invite so it was pretty cool. were staying really busy and were
seeing that as the ward is getting fixed, more investigators are
coming to church. and the ward was getting really broken, but the
senior missionaries are very good at what they do and we are seeing
huge results. i really hope everyone that can serve a senior mission
does, we need them bad. especially down here.
      Well heck, id love to hear how everyone is doing, but were good
downhere. we dont have reeses down here, in case someone was about to
send a package and didnt know what kind of candy i would probably rob
a homeless kid for.
    With that, love.

This ones for you, che. May 14, 2012

  Dear FAmily,
  It was just super duper talking to everyone today. i was really sad
to have so little time to talk to sara but i think ill call her first
on christmas to make up for it. Im just doing awsome, im gonna write
these emails then go play some soccer so it should be fun. This
morning the whole zone went over to the lawsons (the senior missionary
couple) and they made everyone a pancake breakfast. i am starting to
love them more and more. i cant wait to be a senior missionary, we
need so many more than we have, everyone just loves them and they are
so busy just saving so many incomplete families, its awsome, and we
help them any way we can.
     So other than that nothing new, were just a couple of machines
down here, doing what machines do. im gonna try to send some pictures
this week if i can so you can all see beautiful catamarca ( i love it
here)
     okay. write me letters!
     Love, Elder Bridge

We can avenge them! No Alex, theyre just kids! May 7, 2012

 Hello Family.
 Had a good week. You guys would all love the senior couple of
missionaries all the way out here in catamarca. the lawsons is their
name, and theyre super great. they have about 9 months left in their
mission and everyone loves them. they invited me and elder bethers
over for lunch on wednesday, and Sister Lawson made Cornbread and
Chili, and chocolate chip cookie bars, i about died, for real. They
work really hard and their work is going to end up making a big
difference here.
      WE had a good, hard week. We got three people in Church
yesterday, but were gonna have to keep working with the family before
we do any baptizing. will keep you posted on that. Everything is going
well though. I got some letters from Asher and Mia, and will be
writing replies this week. im so glad they have been such faithful
writers. i think that what goes around comes around. except for me.
ive always been a terrible writer, but everyone has been really good
about it for me, im just lucky i guess, but thats no suprise. it will
be fun to call and talk this sunday, hope yall are there to answer it
eh? im gonna be calling on the home phone at 4 my time. anyway. gotta
go. hope all is good. enjoy the greatest month of the year!
  Love Elder Bridge
