The cold weather has just arived here in Buenos Aires as we get closer and closer to Winter! Everything is wonderful down here in my area, Villa Madero, as the members and missionaries are working TOGETHER to bring more souls to the waters of baptism! We come to understand that it is the Lord's will that the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do their part to bring Living souls to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We just finished training our ward in how THEY CAN BE MISSIONARIES TOO. We learned together the importance of 1.) LOVING THE PEOPLE we talk to every day and that if we don't have love we can be humble and ask the lord for help. We also talked about how important it is 2.) TO BE BOLD, because we know that without an invitation people will never ask, look for or do what they need. As Saints we need to OPEN OUR MOUTHS and INVITE EVERYONE to come unto Christ.

The members also came to the conclusion how important it is to 3.) ASSOCIATE WITH THE MISSIONARIES. To talk with them, call them, help them, let them into your homes and feed them so you can recieve blessings and so they can bless your home with the word of God. There's alot of things that you can do with the missionaries. What did you do this week in relation to the Work?

Thank you all for your prayers and the things that y'all have done to help and understand that you all in my prayers. I love y'all!

Have a great week!

We had a week this week! The husband of our newest converts has gotten ever so worse with his alcohol and drug abuse and lately hasn't even been giveing food to his children and has become violent and even though I don't really like the idea of seperation, she is kicking him out of the house to protect the children. It's really sad but thier faith is keeping them going.

The mission continues to grow and the amount of baptisms is increasing and as we set goals and make plans we can see our efort isn't wasted as we see the charts go up and up

Thank y'all for all the suport and prayers and know that your in mine and remember that If we really want to help the people come unto christ we can't just set an example but we have to open our mouths and declare repentance and invite.

for those of y'all that want to find me on the map my area right now is Villa Madero in the Aldo Bonzi stake!

With lots of love

Christmas and new year's passed with a bit of sadness and we lost alot of investigators to the enticings of the world. Argentina is a very worldly place and many people here sucub to it's temptations but it must be understood that this happens in every part of the world and it all start's with tolerance of sin. When we start to look at whho our friends are or what things are in our house or how many times we let things pass by without corecting it and this can hurt our personal progression. many members of the chuch have adopted passive tollerance for things and people and never do a thing to change the situation or do it to slow and without boldness and this is wrong and this the reason why many people live and die with our haveing a true repentance and are damned on our behalf. This week I looked someone it the eye and in the middle of the street called out their abomonation and called them to repentance and is now on the path to true repentance. I invite everyone of you to be bold this week and change the live of those that cross your path. and for those of you that don't think it's your job because you are not missionaries, repent because christ said you don't need to be called to cry repentance

Thank you for your prayers and god be with you till we meet again.

Thank you for all the Chrismas wishes for those of you that have sent them and I send my gratitud for all of the help that I have recieved from all of you this year and I want you all to know that you are in my prayers.

We recently had changes and I have been put in a ward about 400 members but only 27 go to church and many have apostatised and have no desire to listen to us. It's a very good example of what can happen to us if we don't take care of our testimonies or suport those in/less active members and so this Holladay season make sure you remember your savior and that you are helping others remember their god.

For those of you that are making plans for newyear resolution and weight loss is on your list go out with the missionaries this next year. I weighed my self the other day and this year I have lost 30Kg or about 60-70 pounds ;)

I love you all don't forget that and always help those who need it because this is the true church and Christ would and will help those who ask.

Hasta el proximo año!

PS we won't have time to write for a while because we are going to the temple so don't worry!

With the holliday season make sure you are all thinking about the less-in active members in the ward and even the widows and the youth that don't have the opportunity to enjoy a good christmas day with there family. Paul told us that all these people have claim on the church even social needs and so allways think on that

thank you for your prayers and everything you do
