Contacting and Serving

Hello Everyone,

I am writing late this week because of the national holiday yesterday in Argentina. Our p-day is today.

This week was great with a lot of contacting and meeting with members about the work. It was fun to get to know them. We even contacted into a girl from England and so we did the discussion in English. It was very different and cool. I may have been too giddy during the lesson.

For service this week we put in a second floor in a building and the work was very difficult. We had to saw the floor planks to the right length then nail them to the joists. The best part though was that it was for a contact that we did earlier in the week.  We have a lesson with him this week, he is super awesome.

I gave a talk on Sunday during sacrament and the members thought it was funny. Today we ate at a Pizza libre with some recent converts. I ate 14 slices :)

Love

La Ciudad Tres Arroyos

Hola Todos,

This week was long because my companion and I arrived here new together and we are kind of opening up the area again. So we did A LOT of contacting. It was fun. We talked to the members in our area and they are nice. I played the piano yesterday during Sunday meetings. We also had a Branch (Rama) baptism on Saturday.

The apartment here in this area is nice. The branch is fairly big with about 50 members that actively attend. So in the City Tres Arroyos there are two branches and I am assigned to Rama 1. We walk everywhere and there is some distance to deal with. I am accustomed to it.

Well I hope you all have a good week

Love

Last Week in Patagones

Hello,
I was transferred out of the Patagones area to Tres Arroyos with Elder McClintock. Because of traveling all day yesterday for the transfer, we have P-day today. Last Monday, in Patagones, we played basketball with some kids, at the gym atenas. On Tuesday, I played soccer with all the kids at the branch. That night Elder Frampton went to Bahia. Wednesday we handed out more then 200 invitation slips for English classes for Friday. A lot of people attempted to talk to me in English, it was fun.

Friday we went to the English clase and none of the people who we gave invitation to come, but some members and their friends came. Saturday we went to a basketball game of our investigator. We got the transfer call a 10 o'clock at night. Sunday I gave a talk about Jesus Christ and said goodbye to everyone. After church we went to a birthday party, super fun.

It was sad to leave, but I excited to be here in Tres Arroyos ... it's super nice.

Bahia Blanca - Visa Time

Hello everyone,

This last week I spent most of the time in Bahia Blanca with Elder Driggs who was my MTC companion. We traveled there to take care of Visa stuff. It was a fun week as we worked in Elder Driggs' first area, General Aries. I also was able to see Elder Tew and Elder Evanson from my MTC group. We went to Subway and McDonalds (only area in the mission to have those restaurants) and it was so good. I got a free Mcflurry.

I returned to my area on Thursday night. On Sunday our investigator come again and we plan on baptizing her this next Sunday. We also ate steak and potatoes for lunch and had a salad with ranch.

Well this will probably be my last week in Patagones as transfers are this coming Saturday.

Walking, Food, Sports, and the Work

This week was a good one with a lot of walking. Tuesday, we played soccer at the church and it was fun as I made a lot of goals. Wednesday, we had a lot of lessons and we ate hamburgers. Thursday we had a lesson with a part member family and we made brownies to share with them.  They had also made a pretty good cake. Saturday, we went to the Scout camp again to teach about the Mormons. It was an interesting experience and they had a lot of questions for us.

 Sunday our investigator came to church again all by herself from Viedma.

We are going to try to play basketball today.

Love,

Scout Camp Again

Hola Todos,

We had a lot of great lessons with investigators and menos activos this week. We taught this guy that lives in the very corner of our area which is about three miles from our house.  We had to catch a bus to go to Viedma for a Zone Meeting after that discussion and we missed the bus and had to hail a taxi to catch the bus at another bus stop further down the route.  We arrived at the bus stop on time to catch the bus and made it to the Zone Meeting in Viedma.

On Saturday, we went to a Scout thing to teach during their spiritual moment event because some less actives were in attendance. Well, we got there and because of the holiday Dia del Niño they didn´t have a spiritual moment.  We ended up still talking to the boss man about who we are and he liked it and invited us to the meeting next Saturday. Sunday we had one of our investigators show up again to church. It was awesome and I gave a talk about the Atonement and the Holy Ghost.

Today we went to the mar again for P-day de Zona, it was fun, I skipped a lot of rocks again.

Thanks for all the support

Love,
Elder Blazzard

The 80th Week -

Dear Family and Friends,

This last week went super well as we ended up getting somebody to come to church again. This investigator is a good guy and has many questions about religion. Wednesday we had interviews with the President and they went well. We also got new beds for our house this week. They are really nice beds. The hermanas also got beds so we had to take beds back and forth between our houses. President Cifuentes come to our church again yesterday to talk to the members about the need to stop gossiping. A great Sunday. Today we went to Viedma to play fútbol with the other elders.

I'm good

Love,
Elder Blazzard
