Hi MOM,
Right now I am in Zarate, we stayed the night in the zone leader's house cause we are doing a zone activity for p day today!
Hopefully I will be able to have one more transfer here. Thanks for telling me what the people said about me! The members here are so awesome and they just suck you in like a family member! There is no handshaking here, everyone gives hugs, except the women of course.
Conference was so awesome this time. I watched it in English in the church for 3 sessions and one session at the Maru's house, in English. I liked the talk a lot on obedience by the older apostle, I want to say Scott for some reason. I liked it, it was good.
I see that Parker bought a motocycle, awesome. Is it a Harley Davidson? Did he ever finish painting his jeep black? I am happy that the frs and dws is still going strong! How is everyone doing? I don't talkt to any of them hardly at all.
We had to skip lunch with familia Mallo this week because we had to go to Zarate, so on Wednesday we'll eat with him.
The church sent us all a letter that said to ask our families to not send packages because with the importing rules of Argentina, nobody is getting them without a costly price. Just so you know.
That is cool that they all had a candy dish by them in the conferences son capos ellos! Well mom, I only wrote you today because I don't have very much time, but tell the dwsers hi and that I love you all. The truth is that I love being here in the mission and helping people come closer to Christ! The members here are the best!
Things here we don't have (in the states) is things like their sodas, candy, mate, other traditional things to Argentina, and pretty much everything, cause everything is made in Argentina here cause they don't like importing other items, nothing from the states is here pretty much, very few things, like some candy like Snickers, Twix (rarely) and Hersheys Cookies and Cream, but not much else. I did see Kit Kats at the airport when I arrived but never again.
I thought I would have to buy a pen drive but I don't think I will need to. I am still using the first camera card of 8 gb. I have like over a thousand pics on it.
We did get Matias pretty good, we told him I crashed on my bike and that I was in the hospital and would have to end up going home for a while, haha. He was in a panic, he wanted to help, he almost drove to the hospital he said.
I forgot that lately we have been praying to find leaders that the church can have in the future, before the first session of general conference on Saturday we were looking for someone and this guy said, vine, like come here, then he said pasen, like come in, so we went in and talked to him but he wasn't able to go to conference, then right before the next session we went to look for this same guy and he wasn't home, so while leaving this guy calls us, a really big stocky guy, I think he was a little high on drugs or just has done them for a long time, and he said to us that he saw us and thought to himself that he wanted to quit drugs and he saw us and thought that we could help so he called us over! We've been finding future priesthood holders all over the place. Neither of them were home when we went back to look for them to go to conference but we will start passing by there and visiting them! We're over here working pretty hard, but we're even going to go harder, we need to!
I love you mom and dad. I love you and I am going to go and try and write bros something before I go!
Love you mom and tell dad that I love him too!
Elder Wikstrom =D
