23 Days To Go (and Happy Birthday Elder Summers!)

¡hola familia! thank you for all of your birthday wishes! i do feel older... one family in my ward prepared lunch for us and made me a cake so i am very excited to meet with them today, and tonight, we are going to have a noche de hogar with a guy that is less active and his room mate that is not a member. they both went to general conference yesterday and they really enjoyed it. they are going to make us tacos, so today we will have lunch AND dinner! i´m so excited. in this mission, we rarely eat dinner because everyone eats really late. we usually get back to the house and eat a small snack, like a quick pb&j sandwich. this is the M.A.N. mission. (Misión Argentina Neuquen :) ).wasn`t this week amazing? i feel very grateful for all of the experiences that i have been given. we had the monthly zone leaders council this week and we went over the numbers for the mission. right now our zone is number one in the mission and we are very proud of our missionaries. i also heard that the church in rawson, my old area, is being extended because of all the growth. i am so happy for them. we are having a lot of success and i am enjoying every minute of it. this week we tried something new. my companion received an article about some activity other missionaries tried in russia and they put a table out on the plaza and had people write their questions for God. we made plans and we were able to do it friday night so we could invite as many people as we could to general conference. we had a good turn out, there were a lot of good questions written, and we received a lot of references. i attached a picture we took of the activity. general conference was the highlight of the week. i was able to watch every session, priesthood session was sunday morning for us, but it was all in spanish. i loved it. i loved hearing about the new announcements from the prophet and we are very excited to have more missionaries in the field. our mission is starting to get a little smaller because so many people have problems getting their visas. that is why a lot of people are staying in the states to serve while they are waiting. we are praying everything goes well for the missionaries in the future. i am grateful that i was one of the few to get here ok without any problems. my scripture for the week is found in d&c 64:33-34. we can`t get tired of doing good works. ¡hay que seguir firme! i love you all and i am grateful for all of the support that you give me every week! have an awesome day! con mucho amor, gratitud y ánimo, elder summers
