And you're great! November 26, 2012

Dear Fam,

Pablo and Alejandra got baptized on saturday, so that was the highlight. Elder Larson and Melendez ( two of the guys coming to virginia with me) got to come over so that Larson could baptize Pablo. hes the one that started teaching him a year ago, so it was pretty special. tons of people were there and it wont let me sent more than one picture.

     hey, im watching on the tv screen a video of a guy  doing the "horse dance" or whatever its called from that gangnam style song. is that as popular up there as it is down here? anyway, time is short. i sure love you guys and hope you have a great week!

But we must be strong. November 19,2012

Hey fam,

   Everythings great over here, lots of fun stuff going on, last week
my comp and i went to centro, i sent some pics to christal. Today were
gonna go play basketball or soccer or something, im not really sure,
but were always down to kick it. Hope everyone has a great
Thanksgiving, it has sure been a while since ive had turkey. There is
a myth that certain families down here make thanksgiving dinner for
the elders, but sadly that doesnt exist in my ward, although my ward
does have alot of other really cool things! Like great people! so they
can keep their feast... one more time at least. The stores are already
selling christmas trees down here, i dont think anyone really knows
why haha but thats one of the many funny things about argentina. My
comp is good, the work is great. My friend Elder Larson taught and
baptized a huge family in this area last week. One of the guys and his
woman couldnt get baptized cause they werent married. Well, this
thursday theyre getting married and saturday theyre getting baptized!
literally the first time in the mission that the lucky coincidences
come my way, but its been happening all the time in this area. You
guys must be praying good and hard. Keep it up!
     I love you all so much.

The sun wont go to bed, so nor can I. November 12, 2012

Its so hot i cant sleep! most of the time. today its cold and cloudy
though, so im counting my blessins.
 in the pic, my comp is on the top row 4th from the left. with the face.
         WEve had an incredible week. 4 zone conferance on thursday,
and then on saturday just a big old baptizm. id love to send fotos but
i dont have a chord. meybe ill get someone to forward me the pic
later(my comp)
 but things are great here. ive never seen a ward so excited about
missionary work and theyre all just pawing to give us references and
have us eat in their house. its kind of like the place i believed
didnt exist due to every other area ive been in haha. way chill.
        Also, my comp and i are in centro today, some plans fell
through so we got permission to just come look around and take
pictures. i think i want to go to this cool art museum thats close ish
and then at 6 it will be back to work, which is A-OK.
     Sure loving all the good news im hearing from up north, im sure
everyone is taking great care of grandma.
             So quick story before i sign off. 15 minutes before the
baptizm and we couldnt find white pants for a kid. frantically running
to a taxi and yelling into my phone at the same time, we rolled over
to the zone leaders area to grab a pair quick. heading back, way
stressed because 10 other things were getting done at the same time,
the taxi man turns up his radio, and what song comes on? "the glory of
love" so all of the sudden, the only words in my head are " i am the
man who will fight for your honor, ill be the hero that youre dreamin
of, gonna live forever, knowing together that we did it all for the
glory of love"... isnt that the best thing to hear before a baptizm?
sure cooled me down.
    love you guys so much, ni saben cuanto

Red like the Chinese flag. November 5, 2012

i got super burnt today, way bad. i feel kind of pretty sick, but it
was worth it, we put like 6 hours in playing soccer and football and
then had a huge water fight as a zone. im in a pretty cool zone.
     i just feel really blessed for the people i have. here, and
there. my comp is great, as is my ward, and i got three packages from
home ( hats off to johnny/aunt becky, brandon bridge, and mother
(which includes the aaron and christal bridge family)
      i love you guys so much. i am praying that we have a great
presidant, and that you guys are all with health, and great food,
which im sure you are.
       Love Elder Bridge
