I am currently ILLEGAL!

Avellaneda is by far the cleanest and prettiest place that I have been to in Argentina. The only part that I don`t really like about Avellaneda is that there is this nasty oil factory that is close and it smells really bad and sometimes lets out these string like things and it is like you are constantly walking into spider webs, but I love it here and I love the people of Avellaneda!

I am currently illegal here in Argentina... I still haven`t done any paperwork to renew my visa so I am currently illegal. I might have to travel to Paraguay at some point to have my visa stamped. Both me and Elder Callister are in the same spot, haha I don`t know when It will get fixed I was talking to E Fiabane and he said that they have a lot of missionaries that don`t have their work done. They are backed up on trying to get people`s papers done but they will tell me when it is my turn. He said there are several options and he isn`t sure what they are going to do still. I might go to Paraguay to get my visa stamped or I might have to go to emigrations and they will pay a fee to keep me here ha ha.. 

We had two investigators at church this week!!, Cesar and his sister Ailen. Cesar is going to get baptized this Saturday and we are super excited for that!!! He is really prepared probably the most prepared person that I have seen in my whole mission. He is going to make an excellent leader in the branch. 

Well so here is the crazy thing. We ended up having a multi zone (almost the whole mission just not Formosa) meeting. We all went to Resistencia and listened to Elder Gonzalez speak. My companion and I thought it was only for the leaders, but everyone got to come. It was really good! He talked a lot about looking at things with the eye of faith. He said that if we apply the eye of faith that we could easily be baptizing 10 or more people a month per companionship. He talked about pressuring the work by baptizing more, reactivating more, and retaining more. He also talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon. How we should be focusing on doing everything with the book of mormon like answers.


I am sorry this is such a short letter this week but I have been emailing with a guy who is going to make me a leather and carpincho (rodent of unusual size) scripture case. I am so excited.


I love you and I will write more next week!
