Life here repeats A LOT!!!!!!! 
WE finally left the CCM to go into the city of Buenos Aires ! It was a rutine thing so that we could pick up our visas, and we all got to go on a bus and drive to the Buenos Aires North Missionl. On the way we passed the south mission and it looks amazing!!!! 
I saw two devotionals this past week and in both I hav seen Jackson Burton as well as a couple of other friends in the videos and it has made me really happy!
I had an entire conversation just using spanish this past week!!! during dinner I sat with a lot of the spanish Elders and Hermanas and I was able to hold a decent conversation which was amazing. This Saturday I go out and teach real people on the street and I can't wait for that!!!!
Not a lot happens here that is super amazing right now but becasue the CCM is so small we all get to know each other really well. 
My Spanish teachers are amazing and I can't for the next day to start so that I can learn even more.\
There are two guys from Ogden here at the CCM and one of them is in my mission, Elder Doxy and Elder Tanner, both of them went to bonnivile and our paths are crossing yet again.
Also I got sick this past Saturday, I'm better now but life was awful. 

Oh I almost forgot one of the CCM presidents friends came out to visit and they know the Brothers!!!!! It really brightend my day to know that even when I am missing home God sends someone to pick you back up!

Sorry this letter is on the short side but I can't wait to tell you about being in the city alone for five Hours teaching next week.
I love you all and thank you for all of your letters it truly means a lot,\
Elder Belnap

January 29, 2018 Well first I am going to start at the end of the week because man it was so cool and a little wierd. So it´s friday night and we are walking back to our house, and we pass this guy cleaning his records as he is listening to others on this giant record player. I stoped and started we ended up having are really good conversation just about the record player. He then invited us into his house, as we are all talking about music (in spanish I might add) and he starts talking about how much he hates Regeton and Rap, and I reply ´yea I like classic rock 50´s, 60´s, 70´s not the stuff you hear here.´ He then stops the conversation to pull out records from the Beatles and Creedance Clearwater Revival and we just started listening and talking about the band and eventually the church, he didn´t have any interest but it was a great way to get introduced to the community more. (never thought that I would be listening to one of my favorite songs, while talking in spani...

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...

December 11, 2017 Okay this week has been really really tough. Homesickness hit really hard this week, we weren´t having any success in our area and I felt that everything that we were doing wasn´t helping us. On top of all that each night I would have this terrifying dream that you all were in trouble but there was nothing that I could do about it, I had broken me. I would go to be feeling sad and I would wake up feeling even worse, during prayers I would just cry all of the time. BUT I have found my solution, whenever I am missing home or feeling really down I take five minutes to close my eyes and think about skiing (specifically the John Paul Run) and I feel 100x better.  Our area right now is very hard we haven´t had much success in teaching people, we lost three investigators  in 1 day  (that was really tough). But we did have a new contact that shows a lot of promise. We were tracting in an area and my companion told me to pick a house. I wasn´t feeling anythi...
