FECHA BAUTISMAL!
¡¡¡¡Another fecha bautismal este semana, yo tengo mucho feliz sobre este!!!!
His name is Gustavo, he is a quite short man, but he understands a lot of what we are teaching him, it is great! The ward like always is fantastic, all we need for him to do is just to come to church with us. We have started teaching two families (which is great!) One of them is some what wierd. The Guy lives with both his ex and his current girl friends so that is something.
OH before I forget, in ´´We´d like to thank th academy´´ episode of psych I literally saw the pretend criminal on the bus, I freaked out!
I had to go to the hospital again (boo!) I have an infection on the skin from the pollution here but everything is better now, I got to leave my mission in order to go there, Adam, Buenos Aires Norte es Cheto, pero me gusta mucho.
Yea other than that, it has been just a very hot humid week  just like any other. 
But one thing that has been pretty cool is to see the faces of people when we are teaching them or just talking with them, they change, they are a lot more happy and they want us to return, that for me is what makes the mission the best everyday, that and the food.
Love you all,
Elder Belnap
(Referring to the chain reaction of Christopher tickling Brent, him jumping back knocking into NJB who then fell backwards and landed on RJB's finger which we thought might be broken (took her to see Neil Callister the following morning and it wasn't broken):  oh my goodness that is funny, I can´t believe that I could have missed something like that! Here the weeks are busy and the work is slow but we keep pressing forward. I really like the last page of the Great Gastby about the boats pushing forward in the storm, at times that is how missionary work and life in general feels like. But we just keep pressing forward to that eternal goal of being with our families again. It is sad to hear about Gpa, If he is alive for the next time that I call home I would love to talk to him for what mostlikely will be for the last time. But at the sametime I feel like he is ready to see his wife again but this time he will run, skip and jump to her. I love that man, his advice never aludes me.


QUESTIONS:
1.  What are your first impressions of your new area?
2.  You mentioned your companion is from Paraguay, does he speak any English?  Do you two mainly speak Spanish? (I hope so) :)
3.  How does your missionary work differ in your new area as opposed to your old one.
4.  First impressions of your new companion?
5.  How is your tush?  Do they have you on antibiotics?  How did you get the infection?  Is it a staff infection?  Please be really careful with that and keep it clean clean clean.  Is the mission doctor aware?
6.  Did you get to watch President Monsons funeral?  If not, if you are allowed to watch it on Pday or some other time, do it!

ANSWERS:
1. It is amazing in everyway, and wow this is a lot poorer.
2. Actually from Mexico, (district leader got confused) and yup he speaks pretty good english but it is only spanish with us.
3. Success, we have new investigators, baptism dates and progressing investigators, it is a complete 180
4. I didn´t know that he was my companion at the time, but I thought that he was pretty cool and very nice.
5. pretty good, I am bleeding again and I have pain every now and again but nothing is coming out. Everyoen is aware, no infection, we are all good.
6. Nope didn´t get to watch it

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I am really glad that you use the movies and tv shows, that is why they are there!! I have to admit the lack of movies and films haven´t gotten to me as much as I thought they would, but I don´t still have the desire to take a break every now and again to watch a movie or a tv show.
If you hear anything about Parker or Lexi would love to see how they are doing.

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 ...
