 LONG AND SMALL

 This week has been CRAZY!!!!! everything thing is in spanish, the praying is in spanish, the teaching is in spanish, the who CCM, MTC in English. the spirit is strong in this place. The MTc is SUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR small, only 90 people live here and the class sizes are about 12 each, most people are from the United States, but a lot of the people are from South America and 3 from Europe. 
The food is something else here, everything id made at the MTC is fresh, the food is amazing, there is a lot of meat which makes each meal even better. 
My Spanish is actually a lot better then I thought, i can tech a fair amount of the lessons in Spanish with some errors here and there. 
There is alot of freedom here at this MTC, each night we go out sidet eh MTC to clean the enterance, if we want to go to the distribution center we just leave the MTC and walk right over there, THERE IS EVEN AN OPEN GATE THAT JUST LEAVES THE MTC. Personally I just think that it is a way of saying that this is not and obligation and you can leave whenever you want to, but the spirit makes us stay.
I am alrady in my mission, the CCM and the Temple are already in the buenos Aires South mission, and because of that some night we hear gun shots but they aren't that close. 
My District is amazing we are able o shaare some much with each other, and the spirit exists in our classroom. There is this huge tie trading culture here which is awesome, I'm trying to find a nice sock tie.
The CCM President is an amazing man, everytime that he walks into the room the spirit is close behind, and because of how small the CCm is we get to know him on a more personal level which is amazing. 
Today we went to the Temple and did an endowment session in spanish which was so cool, and we have had the rest of the day to just relax for the most part. I played some ultimate frissbie and did a diving catch into the bush, but the bush is fine.
I love you all and I can't wait to hear from you next week.

LOVE YOU ALL ELDER BELNAP

February 5, 2018 Man a week! This week was slow for work but we had a bunch of stuff to do. we had entrovistas  on tuesday , and man I love my mission presidente Calquin. Also we found a perfect family to teach, it was amazing. It started off as trying to find another contact, but then turned into a little message about the Book of Mormon. We came back another day and taught the whole family. The Dad needs to find faith, but man he is so close to finding it. Speaking of which if you guys have a good scripture on faith I would love to hear it. The Mom has amazing faith, when we aasked them to pray about our message she said ´´no, becasue I already know that it is true.´´ I LOVED HEARING THAT. we have beening working more with Gustavo and dudas que el tiene, es no dificil pero es un poco triste, but he is gaining more faith everyday. In funny stories I had a sonagram on my butt (really lower back) at the hospital the other day, it was really funny.  Also we have...

May 8, 2018 This week we have been working hard to try and fill the area before one of us leaves next week. Gustavo is super close to being baptized this week, we have been working super hard to try and get everything in order to help him get to this point but it is all in his hands now. Transfers will be ending in this week and I really don´t really want to leave this area. The dogs that we have in the pension have been fighting recently and it has been super wierd. My spanish is actually pretty good now, my companion said that I talk in spanish when I sleep now.  Mission life has actually been pretty good here, I have learned a lot about faith and most of all perservierance. In this mission it takes 560 contacts, for 80 investigators for 24 of them to go to church, for 5 of them to become members. For us it has been a great motivator for us to give it all we got in  the mission.  I realy love this mission and quite honestly I don´t really want to change areas or ...
