It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!!

NA NA NA NA... NA NA NA NA NA.... NA Na na na... NA Na na na na na na...

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!

This is the end brothers and sisters. My last week in the great Mission Argentina Comodoro Rivadavia... I don't have much time to write because today is SUPER PREPARATION DAY! It is the 3rd anniversary of the mission! So we are going up the Rada Tilly with 3 other zones to play soccer!

This week should go well. We have our president's last conference, and we should have at least one baptism on Sunday!

I love you all, and we'll be seeing you soon!

Is this really the end?

Dear Family and Friends,

I apologize to inform you that I REFUSE to leave the mission. I am going to go rogue mormon and keep being a missionary...

Ha ha not even close! The mission is wonderful, but it tires you. I don't know how Paul did so many missions for so long... or Alma and Ammon... The lamanites must have prepared some really good food ;)

This week was probably the best week of my entire mission... Why did I have to wait two years to get to this point! We baptized Lourdes Cuellar and Maira Ojeda on Saturday! The entire family of Lourdes is already baptized, but she was hestitant to enter the water for fear of her family... Then on Monday she had a dream that she NEEDED to get baptized, so she did! Maira told us that she didn't want to get baptized, but she got married on Friday. Everyone started asking us if we had talked to her about baptism, and we said, "No, she told us she isn't ready." Well we talked to her Saturday morning and she was a totally different person! She knew that the Book of Mormon is true, that Thomas S. Monson is the Lord's chosen prophet today, and that the temple is the only way to live with her family forver! Can anyone say mircacles in abundance?!

I'll see you all in two weeks!

Love,
