Maipu!

Well, as you were all informed last week, I was transfered from Mitre last week to open up Maipu B and train. Let me fill you in:

So we had the same ritual recieving our sons as last time, with ties. My son is named Elder Banks, from Minnesota! (yes, he´s a Vikings fan!) He´s a really cool guy. He´s pretty much into every sport, he played football in high school and knows a lot about sports! He´s already caught on to a lot of things and we´ve been doing great!

So yeah we basically took half the area of the other Elders that we already there. (thus, Maipu B.) It´s in the city of Mendoza, so large buses aren´t necessary to get to the offices. We took a taxi, and it was nuts cause we had like 6 large suitcases in there with us. Fun fact, one of the Elders in Maipu is Elder Harrison, who graduated with me at Bingham! we had a couple of classes together, so it´s a small world.

We´re basically starting from 0... not a whole lot of progressing investigators but we did manage to find 5 new investigators this week. Elder Banks also invited one of those to be baptized, I was so proud. So yeah. We´ve been meeting with members and stuff to get the hang of things, but time is gonna fly here. It´s pretty fun being in a pench of 4 elders... we all work pretty well so there´s not a problem there.

Today for p day (my first p day in mendoza for about 15 months) we went to a Costco place and dropped 1500 pesos on food and stuff for the 4 of us for the month. It´s actually a pretty cool place, I can´t remember what it´s called. We bought stuff in bulk so it can last. After this we´re gonna go play soccer with the zone (another fun fact: Elder Camargo is in my zone now so that should be fun. He opened up this area called La Gloria which is the most dangerous area in the mission by far. So pray for him haha.)

Things are going really well! yesterday was fast sunday with testimonies. I got up and bore my testimony to gain the trust of the members here and stuff. Well after that my son, Elder Banks, got up and bore his testimony as well, in Spanish, on his first sunday!! What a stud!!!!!! So yeah, it´s all going good. This ward is pretty average, it has about 70 or 80 people in sacrament meeting.

That´ll do it for this week. Have a good one!

love,

Elder Anderson
