New area....and new bunk bed.....with 6'4" Devon on the top bunk??? AND PICTURES!!!!

May 16
Buenos Dias Vosotros.

How is everyone doing!!?? Okay I need to ask forgiveness because I have been really bad at writing emails to everybody, I do not know why I am so bad at that, sometimes I just write my mission president write as many as you as I can and then I go play soccer or basketball with the fella missionaries. Good times on Pday, I must say that the biggest thing that I look forward to on Pday is a good game of basketball now a days. :)

Things are going really really good down here! I have now been transferred to what looks like is going to be my final area! I am in a place called General Rodriguez! I am with a companion from Argentina and his name is Elder Aguirre. We have a major height difference in the companionship. He is A STUD TOTAL. or as they say down here, a CAPO TOTAL.  He is 24 years old, convert, genius, and speaks English so perfectly he has a British accent. Awesome?

We are now the new Zone Leaders of a brand new zone here in the mission! The area is going to be making a new stake down here in the area of Buenos Aries so President had to divide a huge zone that we had in the mission and create 2 new zones. I was called to open a new area and be the Zone Leader alongside Elder Aguirre here! We are loving it and are very busy!!!

I am living in an apartment with 2 other Elders as well. One is from Arizona and the other from Utah. They are awesome guys and we are getting along really well. I had already met them before in the mission and you can say that we are bros. The only bad part is that I have to sleep on the top bunk in the bunk bed and I am scared I am going to fall off and not be good....

We have had great success this week opening the area. The zone has about 18 missionaries.  We have found several great new investigators and we are looking to invite as many people to be baptized as we can! We have already set 6 baptismal dates for June, but we need to help them progress as soon as possible. The area is huge therefore that means that there are TONS of people just waiting for us to knock their door!
