Short time, yes see!

Dear Family:

Get it? Instead of long time no see? Eh? Eh? Oh well. I guess you had to be there. Oh wait--you were!

Me muero de la risa. :)

Anyway, it was so great to see you all! Sorry the sound wasn`t so great. I guess that`s just kind of how it goes here in Argentina. We couldn`t do it in the chapel, which might have had better sound because the other missionaries were using it that hour. So, bummer. But celestial points for sacrifice, right?

Also, explainging a little about the internet here, don`t hesitate to keep sending me emails! I can usually open them just fine, and I always take pictures so as to be able to read them later, the only thing is that due to the slow internet, I can`t reply to as many of you as I`d like. :( Basically, just know that I get your emails, read them, laugh and cry over them, and then I usually don`t have time to reply. Jus sayin, I love you all. I just can`t show it in email form very often here in Tupungato: the city of inturtlenet. (No, that`s not spanish. It`s a turtle.) Me explico? Bien.

So, HI! Things are still going great here in Tupungato. Couple things I didn`t mention over skype. This week we went to a reunion in Mendoza with Elder Zaballos! He`s from the 70, and he spoke in the last conference, one of the ones that spoke in Spanish. (Woot!) Anyway, it was super great. His wife also spoke, and it was also great. One thing she shared with us was an example of an apple. (She shared it in spanish, and then in broken english, it was adorable.) She cut the apple open and said, You can count the seeds, but you can never count the apples that will come from each seed. A great reminder than when we see someone on the street, someone we want to share the gospel with, we should always remember that we`re not only helping them, but their family. their generations to come. THe people they`ll teach some sunday in gospel doctrine class, or as relief society president or bishop. All the people they`re great grandson with teach on his mission. This gospel is so much more than teaching and baptizing. It`s about families, and God`s family. I really liked that.

Also this week we had a member call us and ask if she could accompany us that day at 4. Who-da-what-a? Yes please! so she came with us, we visited some less actives, and she helped us out a little with some of the areas we didn`t know as well. Afterward we thanked her and she said, "No. You don`t need to thank me. It`s a priveledge to work with you. And it`s my duty as a member to do so." It was basically heaven. How much different the world would be, and how much larger the gospel would stretch if we all thought the same. I`m so grateful for the members that I`ve met here who feel the same as this sister, and who are great reminders to always be that type of latter day saint. And a shout out for all of you back at home and your daily missionary efforts! The best part was that one of the less actives we visited came to chruch the next day. :) Small and simple means, and great things brought to pass.

hmm, what else. Adriana is coming along. She didn`t read again, so we read a little with her and helped her understand the apostasy a little better, and the need for a restauration. We`re really hoping she reads this week, and keeps working on getter her answer that the message is true. Like I said, she`s a little stubborn, so it`s going to take, well, the holy spirit, to help her know the truth. Lots of prayers.

Anyway, I guess that`s all today. Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support! I love you all immensely! See you on Christmas!
