Ok, this transfer has been crazy and you will never guess what has happened. So I will tell you but it will blow your mind and never ever guess the outcome. Are you in suspense right about now? Wanting to know how this all will end? I want to know how it will end and I am the one writing this letter! So this is the final results of transfer.

Elder Fiabane... well he is still in Circunvalaciòn II and where am I?

Well I am in a really crazy place in Formosa called Circunvalaciòn II, jaja All that suspense and was it a let down? I am happy though. I have a good companion and we are going to have about 5 or 6 baptisms this transfer even if we are having troubles getting people to go to church.

This week wasn`t very exciting. I got sick during the middle of the week with a cold that seems to be hitting everyone and that is finally almost gone. The fungus bacteria on my feet has almost gone away too.

We have started the papers for two of our three baptisms next week!
Sebastian, Manuel, and Katherina. They are siblings and all will be getting baptized the 24th. There are pictures of us with them in dropbox! They are all very cool and I am very excited for their baptism. I think that president might even come to that baptism if he can because he helped teach Sebastian in a lesson. This week we have been having the fun of having to kill a lot of investigators and now we are running low. We will be focusing on finding a lot this coming week and hope that that goes well. We right now have 14 people with fecha baptismal for the 24th but only three are going to happen then we will only have 4... It is hard because a lot of people show interest and set a date but then stop receiving us or just don`t answer or algo asì and then we get left wasting time trying to teach them while they don`t answer. We only pass by two or three times but that can add up when almost all of your investigators do that...

One cool thing that happened this week was we had a surprise baptism!
Our zone leaders called us Saturday night and told us that we were going to be baptizing someone the following day. We had to organize everything and that Saturday ended up being really crazy. Setting up the baptism wasn`t bad but two hours before the service started our talks started bailing on us. Then we didn`t have the key to open the baptismal font because the Hermanas had taken them the week before and the keys the bishop gave us didn`t work. Luckily in the end it all worked out the Hermanas brought the keys a half hour after the supposed starting time and all the parts were filled (mostly by my companion and I, haha). It was a little bit of a mess but now Jorge is baptized, jaja

Sounds like you guys had an awesome road trip! I am jealous I have always wanted to ride a Segway! Also I can`t believe that Nate is home! I want to see him really bad and you guys... but I can`t yet...

What are Emily and Nathans schedules? They didn`t even say! Mom told me more about that then anyone, haha

Nathan:
Querido hermano mìo, como anda con el polo de agua? No se ahogue! No quiero eso! Vos sos mi hermanito! I am glad that you are enjoying polo! It is a lot of fun! and did you know it is 17:41 on a Argentine tarde? jaja Te amo y te extraño!

Grandma Peterson:
It was great to hear your view on the chapter of the apostles being sent out in Jesus the Christ. When I was reading that part I wasn`t that excited about it but it shows how when you look at it in a different way how it can mean so much more. That part means a lot more now to me. It has been a great read and I am enjoying it. I am at the expiation right now. Talmage was talking about how all the trials of the Jews were unfair. One thing that I don`t like is at times Talmage goes off on his own little stories that are not scriptural and can be odd. Also he writes unnecessarily wordily that doesn`t add to the book, if anything can detract from it at times. But I really have enjoyed learning a ton of new things that I never knew about Christ and it has been really enlightening.

I love you all and can`t wait to hear from you next week!
