Hola from bright and beautiful Trelew, Argentina!!!
The weather here is magnificent. Its starting to get hot which is good. Im sick of it being cold. Besides I get a nice sunny christmas this year. whooh!!!! Its so weird talking about the months and the seasons that correspond with that month. But today for sure it was pretty hot. Hey question mother, what year did uncle michael serve?
But yes another fine week here in the south. Nothing really big happened this week. It was a Fodgetastic week this week (when people dont show up to our appointments we say that they fodged us. hence the fodgetastic week) yeah we had really good plans for this week but no one showed up. punks. we had Zone Conference this week on friday. It was pretty much sweet to see all the Elders. I met two new elders. Elder Roper and Elder Brown. They are the new greengo elders of the 8 that we have here and they are sooooo sweet. We just have a blast hanging out with them on P day. So much fun. Last p day we played greengos vs latins in soccer and whooped their trash. This week we are playing american football and are still going to whoop trash. Im pretty much a legend down here in the ol football. the kids call me "palermo" which is a player on one of the argentine teams down here. cause i am just that good at football. football meaning soccer. just fyi. but anywho. but zone conference was great. we learned new ways to get references out of members and it works. And had argentine pizza. Its not good. But you just eat it and know that its food. They also eat down here cat food. alot of it. they use it to spread on their bread. so we eat that alot but only if we have to. its so gross. hahaha. nasty. then friday we went to Gaiman and hit it up with ol Hermano Quinchen. Capo. then we had stake conference here on sunday. the members just love us. their was a couple that served thier missions here that came on vacation from the states down here to visit thier areas. so it was nice to talk to some white people for once. But yeah just another week here. it looks like me and my fine companion will be having thanksgiving together. just us two. so we are trying to think up of some stuff to eat. its crazy to think that its already november. and in two months i will be at my 6 month mark. check that out uh!!!!
We didnt have alot of study time this week but I did remember having read in "search for happiness" a story that elder ballard tells about him being in a conference with 45 ministers from all different faiths. He had 45 minutes to explain his religion and what they believed in. So one of the ministers asks "if you had the gold plates right in front of me, then i would believe you" but its not about the proof. we have proof. the book of mormon. the reason we pray about it is to know if joseph smith really translated it by the power of god or if its his own words. we discussed this with Anai and Fabian. A couple that we are teaching that have doubts and we challenged them to read it, ponder it in your mind, and pray. (for the 80th time it feels like) so we hope they do. I hope you do family. Really do read the book of mormon. and find out for yourselves once again if it is true. i know you know but a stronger testimony of something never hurts. Hugs and kisses from the beatiful land of Argentina hahaha love ya guys.
Elder Ross
