Second week in Tolosa 4-11-16

Hello everyone! So one more week down! which is pretty crazy! I cant believe how fast time just flies here!!! Im loving it more and more here! The people are so awesome! Its hard to get them to follow through with our citas or appointments because they are always “busy” but its okay because we are just spending our time taking to people on the street and what not. Its fun doing that because you can talk about some interesting things and you get a feel of the beliefs of other people. It is kinda funny because it almost seems like the people that talk with us the most and for the longest amount of time are the atheists haha. Well this week not much happened, but at the same time a ton happened. We had a baptism in another area which was fun and we did intercombios a lot, which are exchanges. It was fun to do that because I was able to see how other missionaries do things. I’m really starting to feel more comfortable here, but I still need a bit more time to really get the language. Im learning so much every day, and I’m understanding a little more each day as well. I cant wait till I can just speak easily with people, but oh well its kinda fun learning the language. When people say that they speak costellano here and not Spanish its true, because their accents are super different than like in Mexico and all that. They really have more of an Italian sound to their voice which is kinda cool, but just a little harder to understand. Well I don’t have a ton of time left, but today i had a zone activity and thats where my pictures come from. I love ya all and i hope you are all doing great!!!!

First Week in Tolosa – 04-04-16

Hello all!!! I don’t have that much time here, but ill make it quick and I’m going to try to include an audio recording thing that will go into a little more detail. the beginning of the week we had a bunch of meetings, so thats all a blur haha, but then later in the week like i think it was Friday we went to Quilmez for an orientation thing, and that was super cool because it was raining way bad so i got all soaked in my suit… well I wore my nicer shoes, but the ended up giving me blisters, so that was a pain, but as much as I should have been upset at all this stuff I was actually super happy! I was finally living the life of a missionary! I have had so many amazing experiences and the people are so amazing! The Lord will give you strength when you need it and the Holy Ghost can help you so much when you are in a situation where you need his help, all you have to do is ask. I loved conference this week! for those of you that missed it you have to go back and read it because there was so much information that was so inspired for the world we live in. Im so happy to be here and I cant wait to hear from all you next week. sorry I didn’t have more time this week. hopefully the tape has enough info haha. Ill get better in the coming weeks with all this… Well I love you all so much!!!
¡Nos vemos!

Safe Arrival

Dear LeBaron Family,

I am writing to inform you of the safe arrival of your son in the Argentina Buenos Aires East Mission.  Tomorrow I will send a photograph of Elder LeBaron with President and Sister Núñez.  His trainer will be Elder Chandler and they are going to serve in the town of Tolosa. Their preparation day will be everyMonday and you can expect an email letter on that day.

Thank you for sharing Elder LeBaron with our mission.  We appreciate your support and also the fact that you have a son who wants to serve.  We will take good care of him!  God bless you.

Sincerely,

Hermana Evans

T minus 3 days! 03-25-16

Hellllooooooo mis amigos! How are things back home?! I hope things are going great! Soooo this week has been a pretty exciting one, since it is the last week I’m here. I got my travel plans and all that stuff the end of last week, and I found out that I will be traveling for about 24 hours… So yeah that is super exciting. It’s been bitter sweet having them cuz it has made time drag on, but at the same time it’s exciting to see that I’m really going to be in Argentina on Tuesday. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone here! It’s crazy that I only have 3 classes left, but like I said it couldn’t have come soon enough… Haha jk the MTC has been really awesome and I feel the spirit all the time! The beginning of this week my companion had the great idea of stuffing his huge -20 degree sleeping bag in a bag that is way too small, but it was super funny. We have it all on video, but I can’t send videos so lo siento haha. I’ll have to show you in 2 years I guess. I have a picture I’ll send though. It was super funny, but I’m sure no one will understand the significance cuz yeah hard to explain. Well besides that nothing too exciting happened. I’ve been packing everything and getting everything ready for Monday, but I still have a ton more to do. I’m seriously having a great time out here though and I feel Gods love for me every day. I can’t wait to get out to the field and share the ability we have as members of the church to be together with our families for all eternity. I also can’t wait to bear testimony of the restored gospel. This church is so true! I can’t deny the experiences I’ve had here and in the rest of my life! I love you all and I hope you all have a great week!
Con amor
