December 5, 2011


Wow. She sent me a package?! That's the coolest thing I've ever heard. Tell her thank you so much and I will let you know when I get it! I have very little time again but this time because I was reading Tanner's letters. They are super funny and it's hilarious to hear about his experiences in the same country as me. His English is terrible! I can see when he uses Spanish grammar to speak English!

This week was fantastic here in Pehuajò. The Pedalino family got married! Well the parents haha. And then the Branch through them a party and there were tons of people there! They were baptized Saturday evening and confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and received the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands yesterday during church. The Branch is getting really excited and we are seeing a lot of progress in the weaker members as their testimonies are strengthened and a lot of progress as well with the leaders in the Branch. The Brustle family (from Bahia Blanca) goes out with us for 5 hours every Sunday to visit people with us and share their testimonies of the church. They are incredible and help so much in the lessons we teach.

I turn 20 this week and my companion completes a year in the mission field. So yes we will be doing some celebrating :D And the members found out about my birthday and are going to make cake :D Argentine cake is so much better than dry american cake so I am pretty stoked.

Anyway, thank you all for your support and your letters. Mom and am excited for your success in your new job! The Lord blesses us always when we patiently bear our trials. I know He loves us and that is why He restored His church and His authority through a prophet.

Dad, I got your email, thanks for the update! I am super stoked to talk to everyone on Christmas! You'll have to call me Elder Garrison though because I am not entirely sure I'll respond to Ryan anymore...

I love you all!
