No letter this week...
There will be no letter this week, because April called home for the traditional phone-call-home on Christmas.

Letter from Tuesday Dec 19th, 2006
Hey all! Thanks to Diane, Grandpa and Grandma Madsen, and Mom and Dad for letters! Thanks Maxine and Diane for the Christmas package! Thanks to Mom, Dad, Kelly, Alex, Cori and Rene, Maxine and Diane for the emails! I love getting them! Also, thanks to Aubrey and Gavin for the colored pictures and stickers! I love them!
Happy Birthday to Hna. Catherine Cannon Evans on the 21st!
This week is transfers. I am once again staying here in beautiful Puerto Madryn! My companion will be Hna. Ale. I have no idea where she is from or anything so I will have to write all that next week after I have met her. I’m excited!
We have a baptism this Saturday! Rocio Ceballo, granddaughter of Hna. Pinto in the ward, is getting baptized! She is great and really excited! She will be such a strength to her family and to the ward! I love her! That’s the best news ever!
So, cool story of the week is we visited some of our investigators, Jairo and Ytaty. They are awesome. We shared the Restoration video and the Plan of Salvation with them. I felt it was something we needed to do and it was wonderful! It is amazing the Spirit we can share when we follow the promptings. We were able to share the Plan of Salvation with almost the entire family. Some of them even want to get baptized. I hope to work with them toward that end. This work is wonderful and I love the people here.
Marcela and Milton are getting married this Friday! Things are hectic at their house, but we love them and are so excited for them!
Teresa and Leonardo and family have not been to church (although Teresa did send the kids last Sunday.) We will see what happens with them. It is actually time to find more investigators and focus more on working with some of the families in the ward. I look forward to that.
“Oh, and in case I don’t see you, Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.” Merry Christmas everyone! All my love!

Letter from Monday Dec 4, 2006
Hey All!
Well, Thanks for letters from Mom and Dad, and emails from Mandi and kids, Mom, Alex, Maxine, and Cody. Keep writing! It means a ton! I’m doing great this week! I’ll share some stories in a minute. My companion is wonderful. I’m so blessed to have her! The work is great! We are still working with our investigators and some are progressing!!!!! To have investigators at church is a great feeling!
Living conditions in Argentina are like home, and not like home. We have houses with tvs, satellite, computers, almost everyone has a cell phone, we have tile everywhere. Carpet is rare, practically doesn’t exist. I think it is easier to clean the tile because there is so much dirt. It is nice here. The bugs aren’t so bad. We don’t have too many yet. A lot of flys though. We have a gas stove/oven. We have pans, so we can cook when we don’t have lunch with the members. We do not have brown sugar here. I loved the chocolate bars, Mom. Thanks!
Everyone should write to us missionaries through the pouch address. Elder Rodriguez is still asking for mail. So, if anyone feels inclined to write to him, feel free. Just write to the pouch. I think his family is members too.
Stories for the week are as follows. We had Marcela and Milton at church! I was so excited to see them there! They are wonderful! Then, last night we shared the Restoration DVD and had our ward mission leader and his wife share their testimonies. I felt the Spirit really strongly. I love working with members!
Another member has an Electrolux fridge. I saw that and I thought, “Now I don’t know what brand of vacuum cleaner you’re currently using, but the Electrolux is the biggest sucker of them all.” I have a hard time not laughing during lunches there.
Oh, here’s a cute story about Tobias, Marcela and Milton’s son. We get to the house and he practically ignores Hna. Rodriguez and takes my hand and offers me a seat. He’s two years old. It was so cute though! He always smiles so big when we visit and he isn’t upset. It made my day.
I think that’s all for this week. Love all and hope to hear from more of you next week! Hug Time!
