Usados Zapatos

Well this last week was very cold and rainy. I ended up wearing my pajamas under my pants. We had a really nice lesson with a family about how families are eternal. On Sunday we had a drunk guy come into our gospel principles class. It just happened to be my turn to teach, so it was very interesting and he just had to say the opening and closing prayer or he would scream.

We also had a nice lesson with contacted she had a lot of question, and she like our answers.

Tomorrow we are going to Viedma to do esfuerzas in the area of the hermanas.

Everything is good

La Obra Misional

Hey you all,

This week we did a lot of contacting again. We had a great lesson with Inez again and she will be baptized the 30th of April, We had interviews with El Presidente and they went well. We played fútbol at the church on Tuesday. It's quite crazy because the locals play like professionals and I am always goalie and with one of them coming at me, it's scary. We continue to work with the inactive members and we should be getting some of them to go church soon.

Patagones Buen

Hola Familia y todos,

I had a great week here in Patagones as we contacted a lot of new people and found some good investigators and teaching contacts. One of our investigators came to church. All six of us missionaries bore our testimonies is sacrament meeting. We also did something fun. We crossed the river in a boat. It was one of those old boats. It was really fun to be on the water again. We made tacos from scratch with our own tortillas and taco seasoning. We also had a noche de hogar with family and we watch El monte del Senor.

Thanks for all the support.
Love, Elder Brock Blazzard

Estan Esperando

Hello Everyone,

We have had a fun week so far with lots of facturas y torta y helado tambien, The highlight was when we were contacting on Tuesday morning. We were walking in the street in the Villa and I slowed down in front of a house and I saw an older women in the window looking at us. So we stopped to talk to her and she came out crying and said, gracias chicos, he estado orando y esperando por ustedes que pasen. She then tells us that she had a sister that was a member of the church and how she has a lot of question like where is her sister now. What was the work she did in the temple for their parents. It was awesome and when we left we were all crying. I believe we will baptize her very soon and she said that she will come this Sunday to meetings.

There are six Elders here, so it's super fun. We played soccer last Tuesday night and it got really physical.

Thanks for the birthday wishs and support.

Love,
Elder Blazzard

Transfer to Patagones in the Viedma District

Hola familia y amigos esta semana fue muy larga.

I was transferred to Patagones C in the Viedma zone where I have been assigned to work with Elder Sandoval from Peru (He is from the more rural, jungle area). I arrived in Viedma and the Zone Leaders were not there to pick me up at the bus station. I waited an hour before asking someone if I could borrow their phone to call. I called the Assistants and they called the Zone Leaders.  They came and picked me up and we traveled across the river to Patagones.

The missionary house/apartment in Patagones is the dirtiest house I have seen in my mission. My companion and I spent all Wednesday cleaning. One room was full of garbage that was about a foot or two high. We had to clean it that day because the other Elders that are living with us were arriving that evening. We got it all cleaned and setup for them, after a lot of work and gauging. I even found a giant, dead rat. Todo esta bien ahora.

I doing good I like my room in the house. I like the area. There is a river that runs between Patagones and Viedma ... super view.

Love,
Elder Blazzard

Some Are Past Feeling and Some Are Confused

Hello Everyone,

I hope everything is well with you all. This week was good and long. We had a contact this week that seemed super good and so we made a return date and when we came we found him with his pastor and friend. They were ready to attack ... so yeah not the most fun thing to happen. First, they attacked the Godhead, then The Book of Mormon, and then the restoration. We answered their questions calmly and carefully, but they were "past feeling".  We did have some good lessons this week and we put some dates for baptisms. One couple is going to get married on the 29th of April and baptized the next day.

Transfers are this weekend I am probably going, since I've been here in General Acha - Santa Rosa Zone for the past 6 months.

All is well,
Elder Blazzard

Bonus points if you can guess where "past feeling" is from.

Ward Conference

Hello, this last week was fun in that we did a lot of contacting, finding tons of great people to teach. There was this grandma that couldn't get over how 'pretty' we were ... so that was nice. Last Sunday was ward conference and 54 people showed up which is way above average. It was great and we had a get together afterwards where the bishop bought us sandwiches. I am in Santa Rosa right today (Thursday), for p-day and we are going to play some games and eat at the park today.

I'm doing good, getting excited for Packer and eating alright.

Thanks for the support.
