Hey Fam,

so it’s been a really good week. We spoke on Sunday again and it went really well. My comp talked about how we all need to become converted and that we need to change and leave all the bad behind so that we can become more united and work together and then I spoke about how we are all prodigal children of our Heavenly Father and I talked about the things that we need to do to make our way back starting right now. It went well and I think we all learned a lot.

Then on Monday it was Elder Hunsaker's birthday which we celebrated traveling to do a baptismal interview. We actually did get back to Pasos at around 7 and went and had family night with the Dos Santos family. They made cake and it was a lot of fun. I love them.

Things went really well at Zone Conference. I learned a lot from President and Hna del Castillo and from Elder and Hna. Zivic. They are really amazing people and the spirit was really strong. Elder Zivic is a member of our area presidency and he’s a member of the Seventy. I had the chance to talk to him and his wife quite a bit because I conducted the meeting and sat right next to him. He would often turn to me and make comments or just talk to me about what he expected. It was really a once in a lifetime experience and I took it to the fullest.

Not much else is going on. This weekend we have our District conference and a Baptism. It’s going to be another full week this week and next. Again I won’t be able to write next Wednesday because we will be back in Resistencia for meetings so more than likely I will be writing again on Thursday. Not much else has happened this week.

It’s been really going well and I’m so happy to be here. So to resolve any worries and stuff about when I’m going to be home, I will be going home on my regular date. Not later and not earlier. Elder Zivic mentioned that we will no longer be allowed to extend to cut short our two years. If we want permission for that we have to get it from the First Presidency. It’s been something that I’ve been struggling with but I got my answer.

I love you guys and I’m glad that you’re all in good health. Take care.

Email Letter 12 August 2009

Hey Fam,

This week as been pretty relax. We found out last night that I will be staying here with Elder Hunsaker for at least one more transfer. I’m happy that I’m staying because I feel like there is a lot of work still to be done and a lot of people still to be baptized.

We had the Baptism of Maria on Saturday and it went really well. It was pretty funny too. I have to keep lying to people and tell them that the water is really hot and that they will love it but when they take that first step into the ice cold water I love the reaction. She stepped in and screamed and backed back out and said that she wasn’t going to get in. our branch president was the one doing the baptism so he helped her in and she got baptized. It was pretty funny though. I’m still trying to figure out how we can get the heater fixed to give us some hot water for the next one but I just don’t know what to do. Ha-ha.

Things are going really well here and all of the members are really excited to help us in the work. I can’t ever explain how wonderful they are. Especially our Relief Society President. She is awesome!

I have a funny story, the other day we were walking home and we got to the railroad tracks and the train was coming. It’s hard to understand this next part because this could never happen in the states but just hang with me. The people always pass through the railroad arms if the train isn’t quite there yet but at this point they weren’t even down and the train was getting closer and closer. (They have people put they arms down manually, it’s not automatic) so people were going through and there was this guy on his scooter that started to go through and decided that the train was too close so he stopped and as the railroad arms went down it hit him in the head. Ha-ha. Luckily he was wearing a helmet which is really rare here or he would have been knocked out. That’s my funny story for the week. If you didn’t laugh I don’t blame you because I’m sure it’s one of those things you have to be there for to really enjoy. It’s also not as funny as what happened to carter and mom. Good one guys!

Well I love you all. Hope all is well and I will be praying for Gramp.

Hey Fam,

Things have been going really well. We are getting ready for our baptism this Saturday of a girl named Maria. She is 22 and a family friend of our first counselor in the branch. Then next week we have the baptism of that little girl Debora’s brother and sister. We have been working with them a lot and they have finally budged and want to get baptized. I can’t explain it, well I think I can. The Lord has been blessing us and our area. We are finding all the right people and we are having lots of success.

On Saturday we had our interviews with President del Castillo and I went in and we sat down and the first thing he said to me was “Elder King, President dos Santos just begged me to keep you here, what makes him think that you’re leaving?” our district President had asked him if I could stay at least one more transfer. I thought that it was really cool that he did that and it shows that maybe they like me just a little bit here in Pasos. I don’t think that I will be leaving because president del Castillo said well Elder I don’t have any plans for making changes here but the Lord is the one that says who stays and who goes. I think that everyone, including me is praying that I stay. I love this place and I don’t think that there are members like this anywhere else.

Not much else has gone on. We continue to see the miracles and I thank the Lord every day. I think that after Pres. Castillo talked about prayer my prayers have become more meaningful and I can feel the spirit much more and I know that’s why we are working so well right now.

It sounds like things are going really well at home and I’m sad that I’m going to have to miss another football season but I can’t complain because I know I’m supposed to be here. I love you all. Take care.

Hey Fam,

It’s been a good week and we did baptize little Debora. Her mom was so happy that one of her kids finally decided to get baptized and now we are working on the other ones. The problem is that they are just shy so we will have to see.

On Sunday Hugo and Graciela Navarro received their callings. Hugo is our branch mission leader and Graciela is first counselor in the young women. They are very happy.

We are having lots of success and I thank the lord every day for the miracles that we are seeing. I really don’t want to get transferred and I think that I’m going to tell that to President Del Castillo this weekend when we have our interviews.

I love this place and we are going to have a lot of baptisms in August. President has set the goal of 96 Baptisms in August and told the zone leaders when we were in Resistencia a few weeks ago how he knows that we as a mission can do it and he knows because he has received personal revelation that its possible. When he said that I felt something strange and didn’t really think that we could do it. I prayed the other day and I know as well that it’s possible and we have a baptism planned for every weekend in august except for this Saturday. I know that the lord is blessing me and our area and I’m so excited.

Still working out the kinks with Elder Hunsaker and we are doing better but still have a long way to go.

We had a lesson with that young family that we found again the other night and it was awesome. They had both read and they had marked the book and had lots of questions. They seem so excited about listening and learning and we are praying lots for them. We invited them to pray and they said that they would because it seemed like something important for them to do. They are only 21 years old, the both of them but they understand really well. We are going to go by again tonight and see how they are doing. We already have members visiting them and Graciela Navarro is super happy to be able to help because of all the help they received from members while they were investigating. I have high hope for this family and I promise to send a picture of their little baby girl next week if they let me hold her. She’s always sleeping though so we will see.

Nothing else has happened in the last week so I will end for now. I love you guys and miss you like crazy but I know this is where I need to be. Take care!

Hey Fam,

So no real big news this week. I’m feeling much better and I should be just fine within a few days.

So I told you about that young family that we found didn’t I? Well they are amazing! I’m very excited to keep teaching them. The other night we watched the restoration movie with them and they loved it. It was a good lesson. Their little baby is just so cute. She’s almost two weeks old too. Her name is Jennifer and she’s tiny! As we were walking out Alexander (the dad) said… “Wait! You didn’t mark anything for us to read.” I can’t say that I’ve had investigators say that to me very many times. They seem to be really excited to listen. They are both 21 so we get along with them really well.

Not much else has happened. Tomorrow we have a baptism of one of the kids of a new convert. Elder Rapp and I had been trying to get some of these kids baptized but they just wouldn’t budge and then the other day we went over there and I asked them again if they wanted to get baptized because it had been a long time since we’ve asked and one of them said YES! I want you to baptize me on my birthday. She turns 9 tomorrow and she wants me to baptize her. We are going to keep working on the other two but for now I’m happy that at least one of the three wants to.

We are being really blessed here and it’s amazing how things change. This area didn’t have a baptism for a year and then in January they had one and we’ve had 7 since and one more tomorrow. The members are going crazy and they love helping us. I can’t explain how much I love these people and how amazing they are. Things are just great!

Elder Hunsaker and I still have some things to work out but I’m sure at some point we will get it. It has to come or things won’t keep going like this.

On Sunday we spoke in Sacrament meeting and I came down hard on the members and myself really. I spoke on Pride and I took a lot of stuff from one of my favorite talks “Beware of Pride” by President Benson. I loved speaking and I think it went really well. I hope that we can all change to be better people. I think my next talk will be taken from Elder Holland’s talk “The other Prodigal” it’s also really good.

Its sounds like everything is going well at home and I love hearing about that.

Take care everyone! Love you all.

Hey Fam,

Things have gone well this week other than I’m sick again. I just can’t seem to stay healthy.

So last week as you know we had our zone leader meetings in Resistencia and just as I was sitting down to eat breakfast with all of the other elders the zone leader from Reconquista (my last area) came up and said “elder king I have some bad news for you, Pico (my first baptism) died about three weeks ago. I’m sorry” I guess he died in his sleep. He was only 24 years old but had some health issues and it just got to him. I’m grateful that he accepted the gospel when he did though and now I don’t have to worry about whether or not I'll see him again.

On a lighter note, we had our zone conference yesterday and it was amazing as usual. President talked about prayer and it made me and I think everyone else realize that we have no idea how to pray. He said that he had and still has a lot to change about his prayers but that we can make them more meaningful and sincere as we study. I just love when he teaches.

As sick and horrible as I felt yesterday I built up the strength to just sit and listen and it helped me so much. It’s just reaffirming every time he talks that he really is called of God to be leading this mission right now.

Not much has been going on as of late but we did find this young family that we are teaching. They are really nice and they had a baby on Friday. It’s so cute and I’m excited to see them progress. This is a short one this week but not much is going on so just know that I love you. Take care.

Hey Fam,

Well today we are in Corrientes Capital hanging out with lots of other elders and some Sisters as well. We all met up at the mall and had breakfast at McDonalds and then went and played soccer for 2 hours at this indoor soccer place with like 30-40 missionaries which was awesome. It was a lot of fun hanging out with lots of friends that I don’t see very often.

We have our meetings in Resistencia again tomorrow for zone leaders which is why we are here. I’m pretty excited for the meetings. Alter we played we went back to the mall for lunch and then we went bowling. It’s been a good day so far. It’s been at interesting week. Let’s just say that my new comp is not Elder Rapp…and leave it at that. He’s from Las Vegas and is the youngest of 10 kids. Overall he’s a nice guy but it’s going to take awhile for us to get along I think.

So on Sunday Hugo Navarro got ordained a Priest so they now have Priesthood in the house which they love and then that night we went over to set goals with the family because I’m trying to do that with all of the families in the Branch. It’s a new idea that I’m trying out and it’s working well. We started talking about the temple and how there is a temple trip planned for Friday and Saturday this week and I could tell that Solange the 16 year old was a little down so I asked her if she wanted to go, she looked up and me with a smile and said… “I can go?” and so we explained that she could go and do baptisms if she wanted so I left her with all the sections of doctrine and covenants that talk about it for her to read and told her that I would pay for her if she wanted to go. You guessed it; she had her interview last night and is so excited to go. I’m really excited that she’s going as well. I think that it will help her a lot and that she will get a much stronger testimony after having done the work for her ancestors. They leave on Friday night and come home Saturday night. I love that family!

Other than that things are pretty much normal. I have a huge testimony of fasting and to talking to everyone we see. It’s been so amazing what blessings the two together bring. I love this work. I miss you guys and pray for you often. Take care!

Hey Fam,

We had our baptism on Saturday and it was amazing!

Let’s go back to Friday though. At 10:30am Graciela and Hugo got married and they had their parents that traveled to see it and a few other friends and lots of members for support. That night our Relief Society President and Solange got a surprise party ready as a reception. It went perfectly! Everyone cried at some point and we ate empanadas and pizza and cake and they all danced around and it was lots of fun. I think that it changed the way a lot of the family thinks about the church because our members are so amazing and are so loving.

Then on Saturday they got baptized. The water was so cold but it didn’t matter! The service was so spiritual. One of the other elders and I sang and the primary girls did as well. The spirit was so strong and we were all so happy. On Sunday they got confirmed and Graciela gave her first talk and didn’t really even use notes!!! I also talked about fathers and the role that they have in the family. All and all it was really an amazing experience. They are so amazing that I can’t explain it with words.

There are Preach my Gospel DVDs that the church has made and we gave those to them to watch because they want to be missionaries and want to know how to do it. They have given away many copies of the Book of Mormon with their testimonies inside and have taught people how to pray. I honestly can’t tell you how happy I am and how blessed we were to find them. It was a miracle and they lord did bless us.

So as you know I have a new comp because Elder Rapp’s two years are up. I’m staying here in Paso de los Libres and Zone Leader 1 or senior companion. My new comp is Elder Hunsaker and I don’t know him. I know that he goes home in 4 months which is 3 more transfers. I’m excited to meet him. Things are good and ill have lots more to tell you about my new comp next week. Love you guys!!

Hey Fam,

Things are going well here. We are having our long awaited baptism this Saturday. It’s a miracle that its happening after all we had to go through to get her divorced. The law system in this country are not the best when you want to get things done fast. I don’t know how we did it but the lord heard our prayers and has blessed us so much. They passed their interviews last night and the Elder that interviewed them said that they know more about the gospel than he does. They study so much and they are just amazing people. Elder Rapp and I have been talking a lot about coming back next July to be at their sealing in the temple. I don’t know how realistic that will be for me but they are excited about getting there too which makes me want to try hard to make it back.

Next week are transfers and that means I will be getting a new comp. I’m sad about that because Elder Rapp and I work so well together. Everyone says that we compliment each other so well and that’s why we are having so much success. It’s been an awesome 4 ½ months with him and now I’ll just have to hope that I get someone just like him.

There isn’t a lot to report for this week. I missed church on Sunday because I was sick…YES AGAIN. I’m feeling better now though so it’s all good. I’m going to be speaking in church on Sunday and I’m going to be talking about fathers. I’m going to use the talk “Let us be Men” by Elder Christofferson of the twelve. It’s an awesome talk and since I missed being able to speak on father’s day because of sickness I feel that I should give the same talk because it’s going to help lots of people here and most of all its going to help me.

I love all of you and think about you as much as I can while staying busy. Take care and ill have some pictures of 6 people dressed in white for you next week.

Hey Fam,

Things this week have been really good. On Saturday we had our interviews with President Del Castillo and then we went out to work and we got him to go along with us.

This was my second time working with him and I feel very privileged because of it. We went to two lessons and he taught with such power. He is like the perfect companion!! The spirit was in both lessons and I loved it. We had such a good time. Then on Sunday we had our District conference which was actually an area conference because they sent it via satellite to all of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. In it our old area President spoke (Elder Lynn G. Robbins) and he spoke about the differences in the verbs “SER” and “HACER” which in English are “TO BE” and “TO DO” he talked about which is which when it comes to talking to your kids and how we need to spend more time with the family and things like that. It was really good for all of our investigators that were there and then Elder Perry spoke and it was a little bit harder to follow because he had a translator and they would take turns back and forth talking so it made it a little bit harder but he talked about Christ’s role in all things. To finish the conference President Eyring talked. I can’t explain how much I love that man. I remember when I was younger and I didn’t like conference because I didn’t really understand or just didn’t want to that President Eyring was one of the few that I always enjoyed and now as I’m older I appreciate it that much more. He spoke with such power to members and then to investigators about how this is the one true church and how we are so blessed to be members of it or at least to be listening to it. He talked about how much everyone needs this in their lives and how it’s our responsibility to share it with everyone we come in contact with. He gets so emotional when he speaks and he just has a voice of thunder. It’s amazing to listen to him.

Things have been going so well and I love it here. I have just two more weeks with Elder Rapp which is a little sad but we are so excited about the Navarro’s baptism that we don’t really think about anything else. We have lots of good investigators and I can see the Lords hand in this work. I love you guys and think about you often. Take care.

Hey Fam,

Things are great as usual. We had an awesome lesson the other day! what happened was that we went to teach our awesome family that is going to get baptized (the Navarro's) and the 16 year old girl of the family invited one of her friends so we started teaching about the restoration and the family was basically teaching it for us because they have been studying so much and when we got to the first vision the 16 year old (Solange is her name) asked if she could tell the story so we let her. she started talking about how confused Joseph Smith was and how he had gone to lots of different churches just like she has looking for the truth and at that moment the room filled with the spirit. she went on and got the first vision and she told it in her own little way and I had to fight back the tears listening to an investigator that wasn’t really sure if she wanted to get baptized until last week talk so spiritually about the single greatest thing that has happened since Christ came to the world. It was amazing to see how much it has changed her life since when we met the family just 2 months ago. They all testified even the ten year old girl and they told the friend that she just needed to pray and to read and that she could feel the same. It was an amazing lesson and I don’t think that I’ve had much compare to it.

We have planned the baptism of the family for July 1st which is the day that Elder Rapp leaves. We are planning on doing it and then he will get on a bus 4 hours later. We are so excited about the progress that all of our investigators are making and I can tell that we are being blessed. It sounds like things are going really well at home and I’m glad to hear it. It’s going to be a lot different having dad sit with us in church when I get home and I’m sure it’s crazy for you already. I’ve need to go but I love you all and I think about you all the time. Take care. Love you

Hey Fam,

This last week has been really good. I haven’t really been feeling much better because of all of the traveling but I talked to the area doctor yesterday because he and his wife came to our zone conference and he gave me some stuff to take. He says that it’s probably just allergies. He said that it’s common not to have any in one part of the world and go to another that’s completely different and have problems. We will have to see what happens.

So going all the way back to last Wednesday, we went out to the Capital and spent the day there like I told you last week and we played soccer with all of the missionaries and we all went to McDonalds and we went bowling and to Wal-Mart. It was a pretty fun day.

On Thursday we went to Resistencia for our zone leader meetings and it was once again amazing. President talked to us about the Restoration and all the small things that no one really looks at for his Doctrinal part. And we had a bunch of other stuff that they talked about as well. The cool thing was that President basically told all of the zone leaders that Elder Rapp and I are his favorites. Of course he didn’t just come out and say that just like parents wouldn’t just come out and say that they have a favorite child but it was pretty sweet and Elder Rapp and I loved it.

Then that night we were in our Taxi going back across the bridge from Resistencia to Corrientes Capital and there was a protest and we almost had to walk across which would have been horrible because we were in suits and had bags and it was raining and you never know who you might find that wants your stuff. In the end we made it across in the taxi and all was well. Then yesterday we went back to Capital for zone conference and I can’t explain once again how amazing it was. President talked about the first vision and again went into deep detail and the spirit filled the room. It made it worth the five hour ride and having to get up at 2am in order to get there on time.

Elder Rapp gave his last testimony yesterday because it’s his last transfer and they always ask the people going home to bear their testimony and it was amazing! He is such an amazing elder and I’m gonna miss him. This transfer doesn’t end until the 1st of July so I have a little bit of time left to keep working with him until I get a new comp. We were talking to President and His wife after conference and the Hermana Del Castillo told Elder Rapp that President is going to miss him. I think that we are all really attached to him. When he bore his testimony he talked about how he knows that President was called of the Lord to guide us and to get revelation just for our mission and that no one compares to him. I in that moment received that same confirmation and believe that he was called to lead us at just the right time. I love my mission and although it’s hard I wouldn’t trade my time here for anything. I love you guys and I think about you often. Take care!

Hey Fam,

Like always things are going good here. I’m doing much better as well. I went to the doctor last Thursday and he told me that I had an infection because I had gotten sick and didn’t give myself enough time to heal which caused the real sickness. I’m much better now and I’ve been working since.

Today we are in Corrientes Capital because tomorrow we have our Zone Leader meetings all day. We traveled late last night to get here and I’m really tired but the bus was amazing because we went on a different bus line that costs less and was ten times better. They gave us food and we had a waitress. It was like a plane. We are going to be playing soccer here with all of the elders which is like 50 or so and as much as I don’t like soccer I’m looking forward to playing with everyone.

On Sunday we had 6 investigators at church which was a mission high and we are working really hard. We should have had 8 but two ended up having to work. Things are going so well for us now but when we finally went out and worked last week all we got was rejections. One of the nights we were out clapping houses and we contacted 47 houses without anyone letting us in it was a night of rejection but now we are doing much better now.

Yesterday we went and taught a family that goes to our English class and they have lots and lots of money. They understood everything and it was such a good lesson. They ended up inviting us to stay and eat with them which was so fun. I have lots of hope for them but we will see.

On Sunday we went to the Catholic Church and it just made me feel so sick. It just made me see just how true our church really is. For every single thing they did Elder Rapp and I found scriptures in the bible that would have just ripped them apart but we sat there quietly and respectfully but it was just so horrible. I don’t like talking bad about other churches but you can just tell from going to ours and theirs that there is just much more happiness and love in our church.

That’s all that has happened in the last week but just know that I’m doing much better and I love the work. I love all of you guys! Take care.

Things are going really well here! I’m actually really really sick and haven’t worked in three days but other than that it’s going well. Ha-ha. I’ll be fine so don’t worry.

Transfers were today but I’m staying with Elder Rapp for his last transfer. I’m actually really happy about that. I didn’t want another comp because of how well we get along. There is however a change in our house. Elder DueƱas is leaving us and Elder Humphries will be training so we will be getting a new face in the house. We are all pretty sad about the change but also really excited to get to help train a new missionary.

The week has been pretty boring because of my sickness so there really isn’t much to report. I wasn’t even able to go to church on Sunday which was really sad. I just don’t have any energy at all to move around which makes it hard to walk around all day. I’m sure that I will get better soon and get back to work.

Sorry this is so short but I love you guys and I think about you all the time. I hope you had a good birthday mom!!!

Hey Fam,

So not much has gone on since we talked on Sunday but the AP’s did come visit and it was horrible. I got sick on Tuesday so I couldn’t go out and work with them on Wednesday until about 8pm. It was fun to work with Elder Gosdinski though. He goes home next week but he’s an awesome missionary. I did go out again on Thursday morning with him again and elder Rapp worked with Elder Whitaker. They are two really good missionaries and helped us a lot.

I am feeling a lot better now though so no worries. It’s been really cold here the last two days and I hope it keeps it up. It’s been super windy and I love it. It’s so nice not to be sweating before we even walk out the door to go work and we look so good with our sweaters on. Ha-ha.

Tonight we are going to be having an activity to show people how to use the new family search website to find their ancestors and to do the work for them in the temple because they will be traveling to the temple as a district in July so we are trying to help everyone get ready for that. We are excited to help them with that and to be able to show them on paper what our pedigree charts look like thanks to much work from our families.

Nothing else has really gone on since Sunday so this is going to be a short one but know that I love you guys and I think of you often. Take care!!

Hey Fam, 

It’s been another good week and we have found a lot of new people to teach. We have been working a lot with the members to get references from them so that we can focus more on teaching with them as well. All of the members are so excited and we think that it’s because of the success we are having with the Navarro’s. It has really lifted the branch up to another level with excitement.

Tonight we have an activity planned for after our English class. We are going to watch the Testaments and we have invited all the members of both branches and told them that they could only come in if they bring a friend. Ha-ha. We are so mean. We have been working really hard to get them going and it’s starting to work.

President Del Castillo came on Monday to do our interviews and he is just so funny. My interview was just us two laughing and talking. He an amazing guy and puts so much trust into his leaders. The best part though was when he first got there I went out to greet him and he looked and me and said “Elder King, you look like you’ve lost weight!” it was so great! I loved it. I just wish I could have said the same for him. Ha-ha.

Things are going really well for us and we aren’t having any problems with the other elders in the zone like we were before. It looks like they have finally got a clue and are starting to work hard.

So it’s crazy to think that it’s already time to call home again. The time just keeps going faster and faster. I think now that I’m in an area that I really love with a companion that’s excited about the work as well it’s just been flying.

I love the people here and they love us and trust us. This morning we helped a couple members with their family history here in the cyber. We got onto the church family history website and helped them send names to the Temple and to check on the ones that they had already sent. It was my first time working with someone on that and I was very impressed with how cool it is. It makes me want to do it but I know that I don’t have to because both grandmas are working hard on it already.

It’s one of the things that we like to talk about with lots of people is how well the church has organized family history stuff and it gets us into a lot of houses because people are really interested in that kind of stuff.

Overall things are going really well and it’s been starting to cool off a bit so I’m really happy. I love you guys and ill talk to you on Sunday!! Take care.
