hey, so things have been crazy this last week, it was transfer week and its the busiest time for me. So naturally there is a little bit more to tell you guys this week. So first off, is that i got a new comp, just a fellow office elder so its nothing special, i would see him every day normally. his name is elder Wallace and he is from Washington. i have already known him well for the past transfer here in the office and he seems good, well see how it goes.

last week i had to get a ton of stuff ready for the new and the leaving elders. the ones that left i had to make them a binder with all their stuff in it and certificates. it actually takes a while because pres has to sign everything. then i got news that we had to pay for all the luggage. normally some guy comes to pick it up and take it to Buenos Aries. i wont bore you with all the little details but just know that there were about a thousand of them. pretty crazy. then the newbies get in and it turns out that the 2 Americans didn't show up. apparently they didn't receive their visas but they forgot to tell us about it. to be on top of things i bought all the bus tickets ahead of time. so i had to take some back. oh and the night they came in i was busy getting stuff done. we had to drop off a bunk bed at some elders house, they live just right outside Bahia Blanca but they didn't give me really specific directions so i got lost. eventually we found this place. man i was so pissed at them. but at least i got to know where two more of our chapels are here, lol.

but on the bright side... i learned how to juggle. that was pretty cool. I'm addicted to it now. yesterday we had lunch at presidents house with the new kids. then we shipped them off. its always fun getting the new kids. i hate sending the old ones home because i hate thinking about home. but then the new kids come and it just makes it all better. hahaha its really funny to see their faces. they are just a little confused and intimidated by everything. so just barely i got back fro a lunch with this old woman in our ward. she made us some mashed taters and some awesome meat. It had onions and green and red peppers. super delicious....

today we just had p day. we didn't really do a whole lot, kinda sucked, but it was alright, it was nice to just relax from the hurry. we went and picked up our lunch. it was a ton of food so i was happy. then we watched a little bit of the new preach my gospel DVD. its really good. it has alot of help for missionaries and everyone in general. well my mind is just completely blank right now, love you though. have a fun week.
