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 spanish to a guy frm Argentina, with another guy from Mexico in Argentina)

The second thing was that Finally we had someone go to church with us this week! I talked about him a little last week (Gustavo) HE is pretty awesome and he likes the church, all we have to do now is to keep him coming!!

I gave a talk in Church and dang the gift of tounges is real! I basically informed the stake of the power of working with missioanries, and how it helps other come unto the gospel, I think that the people liked it but I felt that I came on a little strong.

 I can actually talk now, a lot it feels great to be functional now.

Okay family, on a more spiritual side of things, the reason why I am where I am (literally the physical location) is because the Lord knows that I can do more work for him here than in my home country. Also service, that is something that is important to do, service is what our faith is largely about, and it is wonderful to have programs like light the world.

I have been thinking a lot about D&C 4 and Mosíah 2:17 a lot lately encourage you all to read it.

Love you all,

Elder Belnap
