Hey sweet klay klay :) how are you? Another week has passed :) klay we are going to be back together again before we know it! It seems like it is going by so slow but when I tell people that you have been gone 11 months almost, I have to think, wait is that right? Haha it is going by quick, which is truly a blessing. I am sending your birthday/1 year package tomorrow!!! :) I am so excited for you to get it. And I am so sorry if it doesn't come by your birthday... I am sending it asap! I am excited to open my letter in a couple weeks :) and yes it has the sd cards still in there, it wasn't opened this time!

This week was better than the last. I thought it would be worse because I had a zillion tests I had to take and I was real stressed at the beginning of the week, but I think someone...some missionary that I love...must have been praying for me. All of my tests went well :) I was finally able to focus! :) thanks klay, your prayers help me :)

Guess who I saw today! Mrs.P! Haha at church, and I talked to her for a little bit. She said that you should write graham cracker a letter for his birthday on april 10th! I will send you his address probably next week :) I also got a call from my friend jarin loveday this week ha we are going to have a nashville reunion this week cause it is spring break :) he says he misses you, and that when you get back we are going back to nashville so you can be there with us :) I so wish you could have gone to hosa with us last year and kicked my butt at dental spelling ;) that is the only thing that could have made that trip any better!

I saw that it was supposed to rain again today :( I hope my weather app is wrong and that it didn't rain and people went to church. who have you been teaching lately? How is mirta? Are you still in salta? I hope everything is going well with you and your companion. Aren't you supposed to be getting a new mission president soon? I think my mom said that they posted online who your new president was going to be but I can't remember his name. Speaking of my mommy, her birthday is on tuesday! So you should email her and tell her happy birthday, she would like that. Tomorrow I will be decorating the house and making birthday cake and such :)

I love you a whole bunch elder kelsey. Keep sending emails and letters and voice recordings as you can :) I love all of them, they make me happy. :) have a good week!

Love lou lou

hi love :) this week was a little slow. haha. many people used there agency very wrong and i have learned that the pressure all goes on the missionaries cuz supposedly they are superhuman haha. but yeah this week two people went to church but not the whole time so it doesnt count as an assistance so they still have to assist three more times. and pray for her. her name is hermana cruz. and her daughter. i think that she got a little bit offended about the lesson on prayer in church cuz she has her way of praying and we taught her how to pray. but . .. ya. pray so that she can come to realize the doctrine behind the prayer that it will be something good for her and that it will help her recognize the false traditions of her fathers. here are some voice recordings :) your birsday is coming up!!! happy birsday!!! give momma C a hug from me too!!! last time i hugged her she was crying cuz i was leaving. . .um. BUT! god always provides a little snack when you have extreme hunger. we had a wreck of a week. . .no voy a mentir. but! i felt that we should go back to a house that we had been trying to contact. she opened up and the door and we went witht hte hermana micaela and ariana. she is a doll! haha. there are photos of her in those memory cards just wait! but we found a lady that said that she was waiting for an oportunity to change her life and find the truth :) then micaela and marcos bore their testimonies and blew the lesson to the roof with the spirit! i think that she will be baptized :)are you writing to micaela? you should :) haha. that will be hilarious :) and it will help her progress. i do believe that she wrote to my family. you should email my dad and see if he can pass it to you so that you can enjoy that little experience of culture shock :) haha. oh! this week you know how in utah how nice people put candies in their front desks after making purchases you can take a candy? yeah. . .so i saw one of those and i bought credit for the buses to travel and i thought that i could take a treat for my purchase :) i took two :) we left and my companion looked at me and said los compro? haha. i said um. . .no? haha. he said that nothing is free in argentina hahahah. so then i went back in later that day and tried to pay the lady. she just stared at me ticked off and said esta bien. haha. what a wreck. i robbed as a missionary by accident! but! i did my best to repent myself! i am glad that this week went by better for you lou but. really i know that God always provides a way, especially when we push ourselves and obey his command. at the start of my journal that you gave me i wrote about how hard the gospel was for me and i didnt know if it was right and i was having freak out. haha. but now that i look back i didnt understand why i was so anxious and worried. i realized that it was just satan. he makes us feel as if it aint worth it in the moment that we need it most. i am glad my prayers work for you :) cuz they arent working too well to make these sinners around me some saints! ;) but lou, you just keep on pushing yourself as hard as you can and do what you need to do to avoid the desanimo. desanimo is of the son of the morning that strangles slowly with his chains. slap him in the face :) i know that you are working very hard and i am very grateful for your efforts :) keep working for those little ones :) thank you for your support to me. i will always be extremely grateful for the service that you so freely give to me. thank for your love towards the lord in helping others come unto him and edifying the kingdom as you work strenuously in his great work. i hope you like that large word i used.

but ! will you send the one to my family? thank you :) i love your guts!
