                            These are the new missionaries that came out with me! They are great!





Bienvenidos a Argentina!
They do still have Mcdonalds (Marshall I took this one for you) but that is about the only thing that is the same here. It definitely has been a little bit of a Culture shock but I am learning to love it more and more everyday. The members here are pretty awesome and they LOVE to talk to the missionaries. Pretty much about anything and everything because really they just love to talk.
The area I am in is very good. It is pretty poor, but there is a lot of good work to do. If any of you know who "Carlos Teves" is, my area is where he grew up. He is one of Argentina´s most famous soccer players and they are proud of it. The grafiti here isn´t as much bad words as it is murals of him. They sure love their Futbol. Here is a picture of a soccer field that gets used more than anything I have ever seen. (oh and the picture is kind of bad because I had to sneak it or else they will probably steal my camera).
It is fairly safe though. As long as there are people around, nothing ever really happens.
The work is going well, My companion is Elder Ticino and he is from Uruguay. He speaks absolutely no english except for phrases he knows from movies...so it makes things a bit difficult. But, my spanish is getting a lot better because of that. 
I hope everything is going well for everyone and I send my Love and prayers back you all :) Chow!
