My first week in the city was good! I didn't think I would like the city a lot but so far I really like it. There are a ton of people. The train station is a huge building with millions of people walking in all directions. It is so crazy. The streets here are really dirty. There are still a ton of dogs and a ton of garbage. A lot of homeless people. Every garbage can I see someone is either inside it or digging through it. It's pretty disgusting. I also have another villa in my area and we are working a lot in this villa. Yesterday we had 3 investigators at church. Saturday night we found a lady from Paraguay that was baptized when she was 11 years old and was active until she was 15. When she was 15 she moved here to Argentina and hasn't been to church or talked with anyone from the church for over 20 years. She went with her kids went for the first time yesterday and they had an awesome time.We are excited for them. I really like the ward here! The church here is the biggest church I have seen in my life. Its a massive building. It has 3 massive floors. The bottom floor is an indoor garage. The middle floor is full of classrooms and the top floor is the Sacrament room and has a basketball court with AC! Also it has drinking fountains and I have only seen drinking fountains in one other place here in Argentina so I am happy about that. And dad- I get an hour of language study every day unless we have meetings which we have a few every week so i get about 4 days a week of an hour of language study. My Spanish is improving a lot. My companion really wants to learn English so I am helping him with that. He wanted me to pray in English and it was the hardest thing in my life. I could hardly do it with out saying Spanish words. I think either this Saturday or Monday I will be going to the temple here! That is hilarious about David and Austin. Sounds like a bummer Superbowl. I only heard it was the Broncos and Seahawks but I am really surprised the Seahawks won. Thanks for everything! I love and miss you all!

This morning I went to the temple for the first time here in Buenos Aires! Its was so awesome! I saw the Eberhards!!!! I love seeing them! Elder Eberhard participated in the session I was in and then I got to talk to Hermana Eberhard before I left the temple! It was way fun! This week was good! It rained a lot and I loved it except it is super humid now and it brought out a ton of mosquitos. At church yesterday I had a talk but right before sacrament meeting President Gonzalez( I think he is like in the area of the seventy here) showed up and asked for 15 minutes to speak so he took my spot and another missionary's spot but he gave an awesome talk. I also got to hear from him when Elder Holland came and he gave an awesome talk there. He talked a lot about the youth building a strong foundation and staying strong. It was really good. We had a lot of investigators at church yesterday but I was a little disappointed because we have a family we are teaching with 5 kids and only 2 of there kids showed up. We are still working with the family that we found and there mom is a member. Her kids are awesome! They are reading the Book of Mormon everyday and love going to church! They have gone to church as a family the past two weeks! We are really excited for them. That's it for this week. Not a lot happened. I am loving it here! Mom- I am as happy as can be. I love it here! Yes, President and Sister Ayre are awesome! They remind me of you and dad. They are super young. They are super loving and love to have fun. I am so happy to have them!
Love and miss you!
