I am actually in a new area now. It is called Palpalá. I am two hours outside Salta. It is really cool. I don´t know the area yet. But I will get to know it soon. I am really excited to learn a new area and ward and to be able to get to know the people as well. It is really fun. I am so glad that I can have this opportunity to learn and to learn how to follow the Lord´s will for me. It is all so new and all the same all at once. It is difficult to imagine that I have 6 months in the mission already. It is really wild. I can´t hardly take it in sometimes. A lot of the time I actually forget that I am in a different country and that I am actually speaking another language. Maybe that is what makes time go by really fast. I am excited to work and can only hope that I will be able to follow the will of the Heavenly Father and be able to listen to the Holy Ghost to know his will for me. Life is something amazing and really difficult all at once. You live and you die knowing that you can live with God again as long as you do everything that you can to be able to do that.

Everything is going well here. My comp is a little sick but she is holding up really well. We work really hard every day. I guess that is why time is flying by so fast. I actually almost have 6 months in the mission 4 months of that actually in Argentina. It is a little scary to think about. Especially with how fast time is flying. It is truly amazing. We have transfers again next week. I will be either leaving Salta for another province in the mission or I will be staying in Salta in the area I am in right now. It depends. We will know this Friday where we will be going. I am hoping I will be able to stay here in Salta for one more transfer but we shall see. You will know next Monday where I will be. I am really excited. Time is really flying. I am almost in my fourth transfer already. It is truly amazing. It has almost been a month since I spoke to you on the phone. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Just a little scary. Time is just slipping through my fingers. That is why I am working really hard to take advantage of every minute I have to learn and help others. It is truly worth it to be here. Although I am really glad that I brought my jacket with me because it is really cold. REALLY COLD! And it will only be getting colder. This will be fun. So I might have to get a few things to help stave off the cold. We shall see. But I love it. I could spend every day in Salta in the cold if it means that I could be here for a while longer.

We had a baptism last Saturday for a man named Leonardo. It was truly wonderful. I love being a part of baptisms. They all bring so much joy into people’s lives. I love it. I am so grateful to be a part of this work. It is truly worth every moment. We are working really hard to do all we can to help the Savior and Heavenly Father to help the people out there. And move this work along. Just this last week in the entire mission we had 50 baptisms. This work is truly amazing. That is 50 people who have the chance to enter into the celestial kingdom. 147 baptisms for the entire month. This work is truly rewarding. I am so glad to be here helping do that. SMILE!

It is really amazing that you can find the gospel the same where ever you go. I love it here so much. The people are absolutely fantastic. I enjoy learning more every day. I watch our investigators and recent converts and see how much this gospel affects lives. What a blessing it is for anyone who cares to listen and change their lives. It brings such a joy to life even in the midst of the hardest times. I have gotten to bear my testimony 3 times so far in sacrament and countless times every day. I bring this gospel to others so that they may have it in their lives as well. The Holy Ghost is an amazing thing. The power that it has is astounding. It can work wonders in the hearts of the people. Faster than anything else in the world, if they let it.

Sometimes they have a hard time letting the Holy Ghost in but when they do the effects are miraculous.

PS to my teacher from the MTC that I got your letter and I will write back as soon as I can.
