Family :) whats gonig on? How are you guys?  How was your week?

I hope this finds you all well, its been a crazy week out here and today was no different. Its a holiday out here so everyhting closes super early. We were in the internet café and  i sent the pictures and was about to write and the guy told us they had to close. ha ha hope you guys got the pictures thoguh and were able to see a Little bit of the dream life were living out here :) i only have a couple minutes now to be able to write so this may be a Little short as well.

We had a great week out here thoguh and things are going good. were working hard as always and have been seeing alot of progress in the branch, our investigators as well as our companionship. We have some good progressing investigators and are setting things up for the 26th to have a big baptismal servise for the Lujan family as well as agostine :) were excited, keep things in your prayers that all goes well and that we can help them all  make it to the date :).. Its been a full thoguh the work and this week is gong to be huge for us. Its the last week of the transfer but with conflits of the presidents seminar were going to extend this transfer an extra week. Thus being said i ahve two weeks left out here and were going hard :) President has talked to me several times about it and Its almost a sure thing that ill be going this transfer for a new asignment. IM excited as well as a Little nervouse but I know all things wil work out the way our father needs them to.

I have been thinking about you guys alot and I hope you guys know how greatful I am for your example to me and for all your support. I find myself constantly saying it but you guys are seriosuly the best family a guy could ask for. Thats one thing that i feel like iv changed the most, love, love and appresciation for others and for ht eopportunity I have to show this Love for them by teaching them the góspel. Out here in my msision I have met countless Brothers and sisters that ahve truely changed my life and people that I know without a doubt i knew before we came to this earth. Literally my brothers and sisiters. Its been such a blessing to be able to know some of these people and more tan anything i cant wait for4 you guys, to be able to meet them. Argentine trip 2014 is going to be the best ever, i can asure you of that :)

For now though like always, im staying focused and working hard until the last minute ... before i end i want to share with you an experiense from this week. Today in our family home morning as a distrct i chalanged each of us to sharew a spiritual experiense from the week, we have so many out here but heres mine... So were out working one day and were about to go back home for lunch. a few weeks eaerlier we talked to a guy that was super evangelic and didnt accept to much of our message, were about to go home but we feel impressed to go to this guys house. We get there and clap the dodor. no one answers, were about to leave but i couldnt leave i knew we hasd sopmething to do there. we open this guys gate and walk to his small wooden house and and knock on his door, again no response. now were just about to leave when i was like were going to open the door. >We open it to find him passed out and crying for help , it was a super hot day and hes really old, he obverheated in the house and was there where no one could hear him and no one would be able to  know, he has no family and lives in compo, like fields in a super humble house. It was super special for us thoguh becaus ehtis man was aso greatful that we cam to his house, literally we saved his life, We helped him up and clened him all off. we ran to the well and got wáter to pour on him and for him to drink :) It was so crazy because we so easily could have gone home to eat, relid on our selves to think this guy wanted nothign to do with us but we followed the spirit and puit in the extra effort. And for that we literaly were tolos in the hands of the lord to sabe this mans life :) Julio, A great man, hes in the hospital now, the ambulanse had to come and take him but hes doing good, keep him in your prayers thoguh... From this I learned and know that the Lord really does guide this work and that ao anmy iof us need his help in the world today. For that reason as his servants he sends us on his erand to get what he needs done, done :) its such a blessing and hoinor to be a misisonary :)

Loving life :)
