Letters from Argentina: Palmira

So we're here. In Palmira, San Martin, Mendoza. Elder Anderson and Elder Lybbert. The legends. Jk we´re not legends but we´re working really hard and we´re getting some good time in the day and good numbers in the week. This week has flown by and it´s going pretty great. Elder Lybbert reported to the MTC 6 weeks before I did so we´re a little new. He had a latin trainer so our Spanish is pretty good and we´re doing pretty good together.

A litte rundown of Elder Lybbert. he´s from Tacoma, Washington. He´s 19 and studied a year at BYU before heading out on the mish. He was in Mendoza (the zone) for a transfer so I knew him. He was in plumerillo, one of the most dangerous areas in the mish so he´s pretty fearless in San Martin. He´s really cool and has the desire to work. He´s good at singing and he did swimming in high school.

So Tuesday we had a mission wide conference. I saw all my friends from the MTC and was super pumped. We´re all here now. Anyway the mission wide conference was by Elder Texiera and Elder Soares in the seventy so they had some good advice for us.

San Martin is definitely a different zone. There are only 12 missionaries in the zone. The zone leaders, me and Lybbert, Elder Carroll and his son (he´s training) two other normal missionaries, Hermanas, and a matrimony of proselyting misionaries. Our district is me, Lybbert, and the hermanas, Lybbert is the DL. So it´s pretty tranquilo and things are going good.

We´ve got an investigator named Hernan. He had been getting lessons from the missionaries for months and never went to church. so we warned him that if he doesn´t come to church were gonna stop teaching him, and he came!!! One thing to know is that his kids are WILD. we were teaching him and his daughter legit bit me on the knee. and the son peed inside. (its a one room house, dirt floor.) so they came to church and the kid pooped his pants so they had to leave. (hes like 4) Oh well. it still counts as an investigator attending church. We´re gonna teach him tonight.

I´ve got some pictures to send if this computer would load we will see.

Anyway things are going good and time´s flying!!! have a good week yall and keep the spirit!!!!! #kony2012 lol nevermind.

Love, Elder Anderson
