Family and Friends!!!

So this week was kind of unuseually different. We had to go to the mission offices 4 days in a row!monday was p day then we went to the offices tuesday thru friday so we didnt have much time to work... but that is ok were going to make up for it this week!!

The work here in buenos aires is moving along and we are now going to have the mission buenos aires east so that means our mission is getting split! we are loosing 2 zones and two zones worth of missionaries. so on monday we got to go to the temple and see every one before we get split! after the temple we went to the offices and had a family night with the family robertson! it was super good and my favorite part was when president talked to us about the people of ammon. how the burried their wepons very deep. so that they wouldnt break the covanant they made with the lord!! he applied it to us and said we need to burry our weppons (disobediences) and deep as we can. or in other words we need to if were "sleeping in too late put the alarm farther away so we have to get up to turn it off!" or "delet music that isint mission approved" things like that!! it was so good!! 

yesterday we go to go to the temple again!! it was so awsome!! we took joel and antonela!! we had an awesome lesson there with them and we could all feel the spirit so strongly!! we commited them to getting sealed 1 year from the baptisim of antonela which would be the 11th of july 2016!!!!!!!! im so excited for them!!

we got robbed the other day. a guy came up from behind us and said to us give me everything you have or ill shoot you. so i turned around and he showed us the gun and then hid it in his coat. i was very calm. i pulled out the phone and handed it to him. the he said give me your watch (7 dollars). So i started to take it off and before i could he tried to pull it off and so i said to him "calm down!!" haha. Then he looked at my comp and said give me your watch. and my comp and hid his watch in his shirt (something i taugh him!!) and luckly because he had his 120 dollar nixon watch from the states with him. and when the guy said that my comp thought he saw it in his shirt so he started to take it out and i noticed and said to the rober y si el no tiene nada. ( he doesnt have anything!) and the the rober said ok then give me your wallet and then i said i just told you he doesnt have anything. then the guy listened and left with the cell phone and my watch... were ok and it will be a good story for the kids!! haha :)

i love you all,
