I'm good, just enduring to the end.... I've
got two weeks left so I'm just trying to finish strong.... although it still doesn't seem real. I don't think it ever
really will. The members here are
fundraising to do a trip to the temple in June.
I made a Locro, which is a huge soup that has cow intestines, cow
stomach, cow foot, vegetables and meat..... and they ended making over 130
dollars (but obviously in pesos) they will need about 500 dollars to go to the
temple and so they are going to do another fundraiser.... so we were able to
help them get this whole process going.........
Love to you all Tanner

Hello family..... So another week and it flew by.... This week I had probably one of the most action packed days of my entire life... Let me tell you about it. It t started out that we woke up at 1 in the morning to take a bus for a special meeting we had in Resistencia... We got on the bus and right as I was dozing off I realized the bus wasn't moving.... And turns out the bus had broken down in the middle of no where and the bus driver informed us that rescue would come in like 4 hours.... But luckily another bus came from behind and let us get on...... So we were all good....... until at about 6 in the morning there was a riot on the main high way so we had to take an hour detour on a back road of dirt...... Then we got on another bus at 7 in the morning and headed to Resistencia, but there was only one problem.. There were a group of People trying to smuggle clothes, in the bus.. But as expected they got caught by the border patrol which consisted of us sitting on the side of the road for an hour and half while the smugglers acted like they had no idea that they could bring thousands and thousand of pesos of cloths in a bus.............. But finally at 10:05 we got to the meeting. (which started at 10:00) and that night we went to a foot doctor and i got my 9th ingrown toenail taken out :) Other than the at the week was pretty normal. Just inviting people to come unto Christ.... .. Love you take care..

Here's a picture of my companion soaking my feet, oh how this takes me back to the beginning. I like my companion he's really funny. The work is good. we have a few people that could still be baptized before I go..... just in the grind of things trying to stay focused. We are still waiting patiently to get a church building..... I don't really now whats is going on... they are handling the paper work still.
