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

Out in the Desert they Wander. April 30, 2012

EHOLLO! thats spanish! no its not! im in a huge hurry. my new area is
awsome, i share it with 3 other elders. my companion says hi mom, and
we are all getting along great and working so hard. this has been an
awsome week and this will be my best transfer by far. ive just been
smashing personal goals because ive just had my eyes opened to using
time wisely. there is no way we will be able to avoid success with as
hard as were working. the people up here are super humble and
freindly, and lazy, so we have our work cut out for us, but who is
this uncircumcized philistine to come and challenge the army of the
god of israel? that was badly miss quoted. but you know what i mean.
im loving live, and its all good. i hope people are writing me.
          Love,
 Elder Bridge. p.s. its beautiful here! its like super hot in the
summer but its really nice and cold right now!

Throw down the camera, and it'll all be okay. April 23, 2012

So. Got transfered. I was very sad to leave almafuerte yesterday, but
i feel really good, because when we got there it wa sdead, and now
theyre baptizing, and the people there are growing, and its great. so
theres that.
   I spent saturday night throwing up, and last night on a bus the
whole night. im way up north, in a province called CATAMARCA, and its
notorious for being really hot, but its almost winter so i hope i will
survive. mail takes alot longer to get up here. send now so ill get it
later!
 Love Elder BRidge

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KASSIDI! April 16, 2012

Things are good here. WE ended up not having intergviews with
presidant, me and elder hruska. they took a wrong road and got here
late so they only had time to interview the two elders from rio
tercero. either they pop up tonight or tomorrow, or we just arent
getting interviews for another 3 months. kind of a bumber, but were
tough guys so its whatever.
     The work is really good, we found a whole bunch of new
investigators last week and were gonna have our arms full all week. i
hope everyone is doing awsome.
  Yesterday was one of the best sacrament meetings weve had. HErmana
Gimenez finally realized that she can take her kids out when theyre
screaming, so i could actually hear the talks, and they were great!
The high councilor came and gave a talk on Christs last 48 hours, and
it was very strong, we all felt better afterwards. And he LIVES! i
watched one of those new videos theyre doing on Hermana Lopez´s
computer, the 7 minute one for easter, i think its called "he is
risen". anyone who hasnt seen it should, i thought they did a really
good job, and i wish we could just show it to everyone.
      Hey love you guys, but i got things to do.

Oh the beehives are buzzin. April 9, 2012

Its starting to cool down! i think fall is only a few months away!!!!
       so we had a great week, really busy. My companion and i spoke
in Church, and writing the talk was a very good experience for me, so
i suggest that everyone writes a talk on the teachings of Christ this
week. someone will ask you to give it one day, im sure.
         Anyway, WEre doing well but very short on time. Interviews
with Presidant this wednesday, so i will have a chance to receive a
letter! only thing is, they dont get to me until people send them!
lets hope this time i get more than last time eh? the only one that
wrote me was Ellen, and i was so greatful and now im gonna write her
an awsome letter. thats how i roll.
       Love you guys,
             Elder Bridge
