Hey fam!
So, things have been going really well this past week! Elder Dean and I are getting along really well and having a great time!  We had to make the trip to Resistencia for Consejo just to find out we have to be back this next week as well... To get trained to use new water filters... it’s such a joke... but it should be fun!  But it was trainquilo this week! we just went out and did work no mas! still looking for news as always which just means a bunch of contacting!  So, like.... mom still hasn’t told me where she works or what exactly she does and I’ve asked like 10 times...  But it sounds like a pretty low key week at home!  Carrie’s brother as in the one that should be in Washington DC?  Astrid doesn’t like guns?!

Hope all is well! have a great week!

Transfers

But we had transfers! I'm staying in Paso de los Libres, which I'm not too sad about! I love it here! It’s been my favorite area to work so far!

But! i have a new companion! His name is Elder Dean! He’s from Virginia and he’s pretty dope! We haven't even had 24 hours together but were already screwing around and joking around it’s been fun! So, we look forward to a transfer together!

But this week we get to travel up to Resistencia... again... gotta love the long travels... so pictures to come next week!

But I hope you have a great week!

Love you all!
Elder Peters


Hey fam! so yeah... hubo transfers... And I'm staying!! I got another one here in Paso de los Libres!  But Elder Curtis left! He got transferred to my old area, Maipù.  I got a new companion now! his name is Elder Dean form Virginia! He's super dope! So, we will be enjoying our time together down here!

But yeah, the winters aren't much different... last week we had massive storms all week long! Lucky, they let up for about 5 hours on Sunday... 8am to 1pm... The Church is true.  But it was cold too... we had to be in the bus terminal at 1 am Monday morning and I had to bundle up in a sweatshirt and my rain coat just to stay warm... It was probably 70 degrees out...

We watch conference in English because it’s the language I understand alright, the locals don't even care about us and yes i got signed up for classes alright, its all good!


But all is well with us here! We get to travel down to Resistencia this week for our consejo meeting. Yes, were getting ready for Easter down here... it’s not even that big of a deal... just like all other Argentine holidays.

But have a great week!  Miss ya fam!

PS: we did an Easter egg hunt like 2 weeks ago.

What happened this past week?

Hey everyone!
So, this week was busy one for us here in Paso de los Libres!

The beginning of the week we had meetings everyday then made our way out to Curuzu Cuatia this past week to do divisions with the Elders down there!

Then coming back, we had a dope Easter activity, if you want to see what the activity was based around you can go to Mormon.org ;), followed by a baptism after the activity!

Then all weekend long we had General Conference! We got to listen to the words of a living prophet and the 12 apostles and it was pretty dope! all of us down here were excited to hear that our mission president’s wife, Cristina Franco, was called as a general authority of the church as well!

But it was all tranquilo this week and now the end of this transfer is this Sunday! So, won’t be back on until Tuesday of next week!
But have a great week everyone!

Wow sounds like a pretty interesting week for dad… Just tell Rachel that any Utah school is probably better than any Oregon school... But that doesn’t mean I like Utah over Oregon…

But it was tranquilo for us here in Pasos... we just watch [conference] it in the church no mas... The church has a satellite to watch in Spanish, so Elder Curtis and I could watch it in English on the computer! In between sessions on Saturday we shot around the basketball and then in then before priesthood we went and got pizza.

On Sunday, we just hung out in the church with the members and our investigator. But I liked a lot of conference but my favorite was obviously the Argentine dude that talked to all the investigators in the crowed! it was dope because that was the session that our investigator, Yanina, came and watched! We just hope she was paying attention!

Yes Hermana Franco got called... we were sitting there listening and heard that Cristina B. Franco was being called and I thought "that’s funny that’s exactly the same name of Hermana Franco" then when they said that she wasn’t present because she was serving a mission in Argentina we all figured out it was her and all four of us got up screaming in the middle of the session! It was pretty dope!

Wow... sounds like Will takes commitment real seriously....

But other than that, we had a pretty good week! and a baptism! Marina got baptized and confirmed this last week on Friday, it was the first time I was asked to do the confirmation.

But all is well with us! Transfers are this next week already so I won’t be writing until next Tuesday!

but have a good week!
