January 25, 2010-Como Estan?

como estan todos?!
thank you all for your awesome letters this week. i want to just clear up that i did end up getting your letters last week. i checked later on in the day and i got the ones that you had resent. so that you for those and the ones this week. it really does mean alot to me. its good to hear that everything is going well back at home.
so i think that this week has probably been one of the best ones that i´ve had since being out in the field (besides weeks when i´ve had baptisms). we seriously found the best couple that i´ve met in argentina. their names are javier and viviana martinez. they are seriously so awesome! we found them at the beginning of the week and have basically been going over to their house everyday. its sweet because they work at home. javier fixes computers and stuff, so they are basically always home doing that. so we found them, and they were super excited to hear what we taught because they were actually looking for a church. javier was going to get baptized in another church, but he told me that he didn´t want to because they didn´t keep the commandments or really follow what they taught. but we´ve been teaching them and we´ve already taken out a baptismal date with them. and they´re married! thats something that you never find in argentina hahah i swear. we were just talking and i just asked them if they were legally married and they told us that they were. we seriously couldn´t believe it. so we put the baptismal date for the 13th of february. mortensen and i are pretty stoked. we also took them to church yesterday. they loved it! javier was talking in class about all this stuff that we´ve already taught them and they were just answering all these questions and stuff. they are seriously the most prepared family that i´ve ever met in argentina. and the best part is that they sell ice cream at home too! hahah so everytime that mortensen and i go over, we always end up leaving with ice cream. by the way, the ice cream here is way good. my favorite is definately pineapple ice cream. dang its good! hahah but yeah, we are super excited about javier and viviana. i would really appreciate it if you kept them in all of your prayers.
mom, thanks for the email. i also really like getting the notices about vista basketball. its seriously awesome to hear that they´re doing well. its crazy how all these guys that i knew when they were like freshman and sophomores are graduating already. if you ever see charlie be sure to tell him ¨que tal?¨ for me and that we´re definately going to speak in spanish when i get back hahah. dad, dang i´ll bet that its kinda been a downer for sports lately. but don´t worry because the chargers are going to win the super bowl someday haha...hopefully in like 2 years or something haha. sean, dude it sounds like things are getting kinda busy with school and wedding plans. dude thanks alot for the pictures too. that was way tight to see. paige and bridg have already told me that they are going to be bridesmaids, but dude whos going to be the best man?! can there be a ¨best man in argentina¨? hahah but keep working hard and having fun. realmente, quiero que sepas que te quiero y que eres lo mejor ejemplo para mi. gracias por siempre ayudarme y por ser mi hermano mayor. cuidate che hahah. paige, thanks for the email also. sorry if you´ve been sending me letters and i haven´t been getting them. i don´t know why thats happening, but i did get your email today. it means alot to me. i hope that you keep having fun with dance and everything. and be sure to tell me how cheerleading goes. bridg, i got your pictures and emails today also so thanks a bunch. its cool to hear about everything going on with you. mom told me that you haven´t been loving the storms there hahah. i´m guessing you wouldn´t love the storms in argentina either then. fun stuff for sure hahah.
alright everyone...thanks for everything. mortensen and i are gonna finish up and get ready to go back to work. know that i love you all. keep doing what you´re doing. until next week...
