Dear Family,
Well another week in argentina has just flowen by. Lasy Monday after writing you guys most of our zone went go karting. It was a lot of fun. I will send pictures next week, because my camera is out of batterys. Today is a holiday in argentina so everything is closed except a few big supermarkets which have this internet place in it.
The works continues are problem right now is finding people who will progress. We have a couple people we are hoping that will progress this week. The thing is geting them to church, because they are either way cathloic so do not feel the need to go to church or are way evanglist and do not want to come to our church on Sunday.
We have started doing serivce with this one member in our ward. She lives in the villa (slums) of our area so she feeds the local neighboor hood kids. It is nothing amazing just rice and milk, but it is better then probably what they would be eating. It moments like that you see these people great pontential, it is that they just lack a leader and an example of how to work and keep things in order.
We had zone confrence this week, which is always good. My last Compaion, Elder Neeley, gave this goodbye testimony so that is weird that one of my comps is going home. I also had to get up with everyone eslse who had their birthdays this month and have happy birthday sung to me. The theme of the confrnce was strenghting our faith in our savior. So the Asstiants and the Presdients talks were about using the atonment in our lives and needing to be more obedinet. It was funny sort of because he used the example of water which wont boil unless at 100 degress at which point we gain power from it. So he wants us to boiling missionary not just hot ones. But the thing is that hot in spanish also shares the meaning horny when applied to people. So some people got that then spread it around. You know beening imature people that we sometimes are.
But I guess it was a miracle that everyone was able to make it there because of the pickets and stuff on the highways and there seem to be no end in sight.
Then for the zone leaders training they had us split form our compaion and go to two diffrent seasions. One was just making and using a ward mission plan. Pretty straight forward stuff. While the other was just a game about gospel doctrines in the lesson that we teach which was pretty funny.
The language is going really good. I almost understand everything they say and what it means if not I can guess pretty close. But ya I am just trying to talk up a storm. That is the way to learn man just talk like crazy. I have been doing a lot of exchanges with the other missionary is our appartment, so that good because one of them is younger than I am so it gives me time to lead and talk more.
I have not recived anymore packages but the whole thing with the farmers slows down the whole mailing process so hopefully this week something will get here.
One cool thing that happened too during zone confrence is that I gave an answer in spanish and it came out perfect it was so cool because I knew it was not me speaking. The spirit is such an cool thing to feel. Because a lot of time during lessons I have the thought to share diffrent things and it really helps the lesson out.
One more thing that happened this week was on Sunday all the melqezidic preisthood holder had to go up and sing. The thing was none of them had practiced anything and they chose a hymn no one knew, not even me.
Well I love you all,
Elder Ross Blaszczyk
PS Mom and Dad,
Okay so let me get this right , right when the house is about to be done we are going to move? You guys are impossible. But what ever are there lots of cute girls where we are moving? Or is it all young familys? What ward would you guys be in? It is so weird to be away from you guys on my birthday. So ya hopefully I will be able to find a guitar today and probably guy a ½ kilo of icecream on my birthday. The galushas have not emailed me. So are they geting married in the temple or not?
PS Zach,
Esta bein acerca de la musica. Dude are you not excited for school to be done. What exams do you have to take this semester anyway? How is it been offically an elder now? It has dawned on me during the mission how much power there is in the preisthood. If we are worthy and there is need we could comand the elements with the preisthood.
PS Justine,
How is studying for test going ? What do you think about the whole moving thing you know with a diifrent school and everything for last year of junior high?
PS Madison,
Well the same basic questions as justine aboput school and moving. Only think two more weeks then it is summer vacation. Oh baby.
