Hair Cut

Well, transfers came and I'm staying here with Elder McClicktock for at least another transfer period. The week of work went well. We taught some lessons with our investigators and we did service for Daniel moving a ton of bricks and other materials. We also received some nails and tools from a member in order to build some tables in our little house.

On Saturday, we cleared out a house, cleaned it and then we painted the interior. A real improvement and a lot of fun. This morning we made some lasagna. It turned out super good. We played an Argentine Risk game called T.E.G.

Our Investigators are good but then need to come to church.  We are really close with one.
I also got my hair cut.

Spring Blossoms of Flowers, Investigation, and Peanut Butter Cookies

Hello Everyone,

This week was good week albeit very rainy as we head through the early Spring weather. We taught quite a few lessons this week and found a great, new family. We ate lunch with a recent convert this week and she seems very English as we ate spaghetti and then ice cream for desert. Very rare and very good.

Yesterday was elder Gallard's birthday so we ate an asado on the roof of our building. We found peanut butter so we made peanut butter blossoms.

I got some pictures sent as well!

Love, Elder Blazzard

Spring in Argentina with Prospects

Well this week was good given that I healed up and felt recovered about Wednesday. I still had back pain and problems so I got a massage on Friday with the permission of Hermana Cifuentes.

It was interesting, but it helped I guess. We visited a lot of people this week that are progressing along well with their investigation of the Church. I'm excited. We are also heading into mission approved, short sleeve weather with Spring into Summer.

We continue to schedule service projects in the area and often setup follow-up appointments including lunch. I am always tired with all the walking. I feel that my time in the mission is going by faster and faster.

Saturday night we had a noche de hogar, it went super well, fun.

Love Elder Blazzard

Pray for Doors and Minds to be Open

Hola Todos!

This week went well as we taught a lot of lessons and we found a lot of new people to teach. So overall a good, productive week. One time we were looking for a less active family and we knocked a house thinking that it was the location of this family. It wasn't.  The family let us in anyways. We taught them about what we do and then about the restoration and The Book of Mormon and we left a copy with them.

We also had one guy yell at us because we were Americans. Conference went well besides the fact that I was getting really sick and it was kind of hard to focus. I ended up with a really bad headache. I even threw up this morning, but I seem to be doing better now. I really like the talk by J. Devn Cornish.

Love
Elder Blazzard

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 :)

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.

Love
Elder Blazzard
