hello everybody

How are things going in the states? I'm having a lot of fun here in Argentina. I'm in my first area. I'm in the state or province Entre Rios and the name of the town is Federal and it's about 12,000 people. My Spanish is coming I'm kind of understanding the people. My companions name is Elder Scott and he is a really cool companion. The food here is actually really good. The people here are amazing. The testimony and faith of the members is amazing. The houses here are made out of concrete or brick with concrete floors with a kitchen and one or two bedrooms and a bathroom. They are really small their houses are about the size of an apartment. Their is only a couple of paved streets in federal the rest our gravel. But this place is amazing and so are the people. Our p-day is on Monday. I have a few pictures for you one is our district in the m.t.c., one is the Buenos Aires Temple, one you will have to zoom in the the on were i took the picture out side the window behind us there is a motor cycle diving by the median, the people here drive crazy and there is one out the front window it shows a huge highway that is about 10 lanes on each side of the road it was pretty crazy. I'm having a lot of fun here. The houses are like the size of our garage and their concrete floors with concrete or brick walls. The stoves here are gas and you have to get new tanks when they run out like the BBQ. It's pretty cool the fridges are only as tall as the top of my chest and about a 3rd skinnier than ours. The people here though are awesome they are really nice and they have 10 times as much faith as the people in America. We have like 6 baptisms in the like next 6 weeks if the people go to church and keep their commitments. We had 40 people at church its really small its only a branch. but i am having a ton of fun. We walk everywhere on our area. We are the only missionaries within 2 hrs. of other missionaries. Well I got to go I have to write the miss. pres. I will call in 6 days for mothers day I love you all and talk to you soon.
