Return to Chos Malal!

This week was great!!!! This week we got to go with President while he went to do interviews and we did training with the missionaries that were waiting for their interviews. We went  up to the north this time to Rincón, Cultural Co, and CHOS MALAL!!! First off it was so much fun to be able to help the missionaries a little bit. We talked a lot about the importance of talking with everyone, and how God was always preparing people for us to talk with but it takes our effort first to be able to find those miracles that he has prepared for us. We talked about how we cant be afraid to talk about the gospel, because we have the authority to do so, and this is their salvation we are talking about! It went really well.

Then it was also amazing to be back in Chos malal and see all the people that i love. It was amazing to see that even though six months have passed, the people there still are going strong and progressing in the gospel every day. It was great to be able to be there again and go to the homes of people that i met and have the opportunity to be able to testify of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to them one more time. I love being a missionary, especially at this time, because i have that opportunity to be able to go to so many different places and testify of our savior. It is the most gratifying feeling.

On the funny(kinda sad actually) note, we saw a dead armadillo in the route when we were on our way home, so that was pretty cool to see!

Love you all! Have an amazing week :)

Love,

Elder Stuart

I found a guy in North Salt Lake that sends packages to Argentina!  His website is:

www.mymissionarypackagesarg.com

When I spoke to him, he told me he has family in Argentina and goes there every so often and can send your package from the website with no customs, which means missionaries DO NOT have to pay to receive their package!!  I'm definitely going to try it for Christmas!!

Thanks for all your support to Elder Ryan Stuart!!

Finally here

Hola familia!!

Well after three planes and a long car ride I finally made it to Neuquen! We got lucky and when we got to Argentina we were able to take another plane down to Neuquen so we didn't have to take a bus! That was nice. Argentina is so cool! It is a lot different than I thought it would be, haha probably because I didn't know what to expect. My Spanish is alright and I can actually get by alright, until they start speaking really fast. But it's good! And there are so many dogs every where! I get my trainer and area tomorrow so that is super exciting, can't wait for that! But all is great and I made it safely here! I don't have much time so I will write more on Monday! Love you all! Have a great week!!!

Oh and they told me that they can get letters here and it takes about two weeks, and packages take about three. But I should be able to get them!

Love,

Elder Stuart
