Dear Family,
This week has been great. LAst week we played Paddle, and just
relaxed and it was great. the lawsons brought over cake number 2, and
then this friday my boy mario went ahead and gave me cake number 3. i
now hate what cake looks like, but its a good hate. Ive just had a
great week thanks to so many of the people i love. i got the tape that
everyone made for me, i got the letters that people sent, and i got my
tiger shirt! its just been great.
Were working really hard and we should be baptizing a couple more
people this weekend, so that will be awsome! Other than that we really
just need to find some new people to teach so were gonna be going
BRIDGE speed all week, which happens to be a speed that i can handle.
The whole zone came over to our apartment today for an asado and we
just ate like sooo much meat, so im full of meat, and its delicious,
so im happy. we also are going to the leather lady today, im gonna use
my birthday money to get a beautiful leather case for my spanish book
of mormon, ill take pictures when its done, but it will probably take
about 6 weeks cause the lady is preparing for this big festival thats
coming up.
Were healthy, were happy, and today starts a new transfer. the 4
of us are staying together so its just gonna be really awsome.
Love yall,
Elder Bridge.
P.S Grandpa Bridge, HAppy Birthday! 88! that is 4 times more years
than i have lived! I cant wait to come home and try to get some of
that wisdom that youve been building up! Hope its the best year yet!

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!

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!
