Hola. This was a good week we had transfers and my new comp. is Elder Boice he´s from California and he is really cool. We have 7 people this transfer with a date to get baptized which is really awesome and we already have 3 for the next transfer. The work is really coming along here in Argentina. The weather has been decent some days our warm some are cold but the nights our always cold but we turn the heater on and it almost gets to hot but it’s better than being cold. Also it’s been really fun here I´m really enjoying it here.
I got your photo´s they were really nice. So what is everybody up to? Yesterday night we went by this kid Facundo who is active/inactive and we were teaching him and his mom and three siblings when the mom’s brother and friend walked in drunk. I never seen them before but they started talking to us and one squatted down and a gun fell out if his pocket and the other guy picked it up and my comp. didn’t even notice because if you weren’t paying attention you have missed it. He didn’t know I saw it but then he started asking if god would forgive him for fornicating and robbing people for food but he said he’s never killed anyone. It was really weird and the mom of Facundo didn’t want him there and you could tell she was really uncomfortable. Then they said they wanted to leave with us and my comp said no and we left and got out of their and went back to the pench because it was like 9:15 and we have to be back by 9:30. It was really weird and I defiantly wasn’t comfortable but it was all good we got back to the pench and everything was good. So what’s in the news I know you’re not the person to ask but anything is good. Also tell dad happy father’s day for me. And I tell mom happy b-day next week in my letter. But everything is going good and I guess I will write next week. So is dad looking for work? How are mom and dad doing? You could just go online and copy and paste things that happen during the week in the news and send them to me in an attachment or whatever works. Well I guess I will go now tell everybody I love them and I will talk to you all next week. Also have dad relay that story to Nathan for me because I don’t have time to write it again. Well anyways talk to you next week. Love, Elder Herold
