Summer in Argentina

Summer is coming to an end in Argentina (We hope).   It has been a hot one!  Over 100 degrees everyday for weeks.  This week has been a little better it has been in the 90's.  We are looking forward to Fall!  

We met the Salazar family a few months ago.  The missionaries found them when one of their lessons fell through and so they decided to knock doors.  They began teaching the family.  We were invited to join a lesson with them.  We loved getting to know them.  They are a very sweet family.  They had been searching for something and when the missionaries started teaching them they felt something they had not before.  Martin is very intellectual and he could not believe these young missionaries could answer all his questions.   They were married on March 1st and then baptized that same day!  They asked President Pennington to baptize them!  What a blessing for us to be part of their conversion to the gospel.

11 new missionaries joined our mission!  Hermana Mason, Hermana Tzic, Hermana Beltran, Hermana Ramsey, Elder Olsen, Elder Cameron, Elder Reese, Elder Bryce, Elder Boopor, Elder Larkin and Elder Dominguez.

This is what the garage looks like on Transfer day!  It is a crazy day!  We have missionaries who travel 12 hours from their areas to get to the Mission home.  But most of them travel about 3-4 hours to get to the mission home.  It is a big mission.  They all come to the Mission home and then regroup and back out to their new areas. 

We said goodbye to some great Los Fieles!  Elder Bohme, Elder Mckeon, Elder Heslop, Elder Evanson, Elder Mortensen, Elder Gordon, Hermana Shumard, Hermana Parker, Hermana Jones, Hermana Moran and Hermana Windward.

President took the AP's out golfing by our new Mission home.   They are renovating the Mission Home for the new Mission President who will be arriving in July.  We are in a rental home on a golf course with a pool!
