Oh well everyone says that the summers are brutal here and that I should enjoy the cool air haha. I just miss having the sun on my face hahaha. I hope that the day camp went well!!! CRAZY!!!! I cant believe that it is the last one either?! Everyone is already so much bigger! I cant even believe that it has been 5 months?! One month and I hit my 1/4 mark haha. I guess time flies while you are having fun haha. This week was truly amazing because we saw a ton of success and miracles!!! We were able to baptize all of the investigators we had scheduled this week! I cant even tell you how crazy it was that everything worked out!! Who all is home now? I cant believe that they are all coming home either?! I really like how you guys have been sending the pictures every week it makes me feel like Im back with you guys for a little bit haha. So did jess not send an email this week? If you have it Id love for you to send it to me haha. Crazy that she ran into Brent and Kerstin hahaha. Ill talk more about my week in the recording! I love you all sooooo much and I hope that all is well back home!!! ¡Que estén bien y nos vemos pronto!
Man the time is just flying by?! How sweet that you guys had that time up in bear lake!!! I wish i could be there with you guys in the warmth and everything haha. Im surprised that its so cold?! Weird! Thank goodness for email right?! It is so great being able to see what you guys are up to every week! Im so glad that you guys take such good care of Jess. She is going too be too spoiled lol. Im so glad to hear that my brothers are taking good care of you! They love you so much!!! I love you so much!!! Haha. I can’t wait to hear the recordings!!! I bought a super sweet BOCA shirt! That is my team here in Argentina. you will have to go do some research and figure out more about them. I hope that you all have a good week! I’ll send more in the recording!!! I love you all sooooo much!!!!!!
So Im just gonna guess that you are up in the mountains having so much fun!!! Thats good cuz you all needed a good trip! So this week was super sweet! We had a bunch of success with finding people which is good! We have been teaching a ton more than before and that is helping us. i think that the ward is starting to have more excitement to help us which is super awesome as well! We have two baptismal dates that are still on, so that is super exciting!!! they are two young kids that are 10 and 13. They are so ready and they have a better testimony than I did when I was 8 and got baptized haha. my comp and I are getting along well. He has been a little sick this week, so we had to take it easy yesterday, but as for now were ready to go out and work our butts off haha. my legs have been doing much better, but with all the rain my feet are just wet all day haha. Luckily the socks you got me rock cuz like when I get back to the pension they dry off super fast. Sorry my recording isn’t very long this week, but I just had a bunch of other stuff I had to do. Im still doing great and I think Ill have time to send out a big email to all my friends and what not this week. I hope that you have a great week!!! Cant wait to see how the trip was! Love ya tons!!!!
Man this week flew by so fast!!! I can’t believe how fast time flies. Like the boys almost have a month of summer down haha! Seems like you all had a great week! I cant wait to hear the recording, but It seems like it was pretty long. I hope I can get it downloaded. I’m excited to hear how the reunion goes this week! I hope it all goes well!!! I made the cake you sent me, but I didn’t have time to frost it and all that, so i just ate it hahaha. Now I have some good cream cheese frosting haha. That package was seriously the best thing ever!!! About Jess and all that, it is pretty much the same as before, I love to see the pictures of her in the MTC experiencing things that I can totally relate to lol. The whole “Welcome to the MTC” thing is so annoying lol. I miss her the same as always, its just kinda like how much I miss you guys, like its kinda like things happen and Im like oh man I wish that you guys could see what Im doing right now or something. She looks like she is fitting right in so that is good. I can’t wait to see some pictures!!!! I can’t believe that it has been a year already!!! It feels like it was yesterday!!! So this week was super awesome! We found a bunch of great new people to teach and we were able to find opportunities to serve! I love this place so much! the culture is so rich and the people are really kind. My new comp doesn’t have the same problem of being shy, so that has helped me a lot, cuz now we are talking to new people all the time. He is a total stud, but I need to learn Spanish!!! Luckily people tell me that Im learning really fast for being here only 3 months, so that is good! Im starting to really figure it out, the only thing I need to get down is all the vocab! There are sooooo many words that make up a language hahaha. I cant wait to see what happens this transfer with him, because we have the potential to get a few more baptisms this transfer! Im still working my butt off! It is kinda taking a toll on my legs now cuz we have been walking a ton, but its okay cuz I’ve been running as well which I think is helping strengthen my legs. Don’t get me wrong Im doing totally fine!!! Well Ill send my recording which will talk more about what Ive been doing this week!!! I love you soooo much!!!! I hope your week is awesome!
HAPPY STINKIN FATHERS DAY DUDE!!!! Man I missed you yesterday! I hope it was a good day even though it was hard to not have your dad there! I guess we were kinda in the same boat, given I do get to see you in 20 short months haha. It was weird, but i feel better now. I hope that you just vent any feelings you have cuz if you’re like me one day you will just break down. Im glad you got to go on the campout with Zach though Im sure that was a good time for him. He needs that relationship. I cant wait to hear how the family reunion goes! It will be fun! Help mom a ton cuz I bet she is feeing overwhelmed. Given you already will cuz you are awesome like that! So about the baptism! It was such a blessing!!! So the son baptized the mother who has been investigating the church for 20 years. It was so amazing!!! I wish you could have been there haha. Ill talk more about it in my recording. So I didn’t get transferred. Elder Chandler got transferred out to the coast so now I have a new comp. Elder Sosa from Mexico. He only speaks Spanish, so that will be super cool! I will have to learn quick! He is a stud. Ill send some pictures! Other than that not much happened. Ill send the recording so you can get up to date haha. I really hope that you have a great week and that you enjoy your time home with the fam! Also start that Rosetta stone lol. I love ya tons and I cant wait to see that new jeep in action!!!
¡Con lo más amor!!!

Hey Mommy!!!!
Man Looks like you all had a pretty great week haha. No kidding about time going by fast?! I cant believe that Im like 2 weeks away fromn 5 months. Im like almost a fourth of the way haha. So about the baptism… WE DID IT! It was so great!!! The family was sooo happy and the baptism was just so great!!! Ill send pictures! But other than that we had transfers today and Elder Chandler left. I am now with Elder Sosa from Mexico! He seems like hes going to be a stud! It is going to be so great for my spanish haha. He doesnt really speak any English so itll be fun! Elder Chandler went down to the coast so he was pretty excited. Other than those two things the week was pretty usual. I DIDNT KNOW MARCI WAS PREGNANT?!?! haha where have i been?! Like Argentina or something 😉 Thats super exciting for them! Now we just have to wait for Jer haha. That horse thing sounds like it was pretty sweet!! I will have to go see it sometime… 😉 It was probably pretty crazy saying bye to Jess! She looks like she is doing good! I didnt get her email, so could you forward it to me?! I love seeing the pictures of you all every week! Im glad you had that time with Tanner cuz he will look back on those times forever! Sounds like they went pretty all out with youth conference this year!!! Crazy! It must have been pretty tough for dad on fathersday, but Ill tell you what I was missing him pretty bad… But im okay now. I think he will be okay though. Its probably not helping the stress of being gone a lot… he will be okay though. I am glad to see that all is well with you all though!!! This week was pretty great, but Ill talk about it in my recording! Love you soooo much and I hope your week is great!!!!
¡Con lo más amor!

It will be a little delayed this way, but now i can be sure to answer all of your questions and what not. You wont have to write tan mucho tampoco, así que van a tener mas tiempo para hacer las cosas mas importantes… te he… But yeah it’ll be sweet to do it this way! So you guys had a family reunion, or just a trip with the fam in Utah? Looks like it was a ton of fun! Thanks for recording Jess´s talk! It’ll be nice to hear her voice haha! She is going to be so awesome, but she is going to miss you guys so much! Im glad that you guys had this time to get to know her so well and everything! Well about a heater… it is flipping cold, but we have the most amazing space heater! This thing shoots out strait up lava-air! So no I don’t need to buy one hahaha. Thanks for the money though… te he… just kidding. I don’t really need anything. Im living super comfortably here!!! This is the last week of my training which is super crazy!!! Next week I could be training someone?! How crazy is that?! Im so pumped to get the work really moving here in Tolosa! We have3 had some amazing changes happen here thats for sure! This place rocks!!! Argentina is really becoming holy ground for me. Its amazing to see how fast I got a customed to everything here! Its just like my second home! Ill send pics from the week in a word document, so that way you can take them off of it and I can send more than like 3 pictures at a time haha. Idk if it resizes them or not, but oh well. Well other than that Ill explain my week in my recording!!! I love you guys so much and I cant wait to hear your voices!!!
Love ya´ll!

So sounds like this week was pretty crazy! I figured I could save some time this week by emailing you guys together. Sorry it isn’t too personal, but I have like so many people to email it seems like! Obviously you all are priority! So I already emailed tyler and so hopefully that helps him out and he feels a little better! Well other than that I did get your email with the recording. I’ll put it on my recorder and see if it works. If so next week my recording will answer all your questions. In the recording just take everyones questions and ask me so I can listen to it while Im recording my thing for the week! It’ll be way faster that way! Technology is so nice haha. So this week was awesome! I recorded a long recording so that should be a little more in depth. I hope you got a call about my birth certificate cuz I need to get a new passport and all that. If you don’t know what Im talking about don’t worry the offices here will call you. That camper looks sweet! It looks like you all had a ton of fun camping together! I cant believe that the boys are all done with school! CRAZY!!! Also the other day I was thinking about when you said you wanted to take a trip out to Ohio to go see Jess. I’m just gonna suggest you don’t. I can only imagine what that would do to me, and I think it’d be a bad thing more than a good thing for her. Let’s all go out there when we both get back and she can show us the ropes haha. Sorry that was kinda random. I can’t wait to see these sweet Jeeps on some beautiful Moab trails!!! Well I hope all is well with you all!!! I love you more than anything!!! I will listen to your recording! Next week do one with the whole family! Love you!
¡Con lo mas amor!

ps ill send my recording in a sec! Love ya’ll!
Elder LeBaron’s Trip to the Capital – Buenos Aires. He had to go to the Embassy. Listen to the recording for details.
Man sooo much happened this week! Haha so i think im going to need a picture of the driveway with all the new cars lol. IM SO PROUD OF TYLER! That is so awesome for him!! He has worked so hard! He totally deserves it. It looks so nice and warm there in Utah! So are the kids all done with school? It looks like you guys had some good times! It sounds like you are all set to have a grand ol time in Moab this summer! I cant wait to hear how all your adventures go! Just dont kill yourselves hahaha. Man I hope Justin is feeling better cus that looks like it would hurt! So Ive been thinking of a way that I could cut the time down when I email home, but still touch on everytone and make them all feel included and I think Im going to send just like a big general email to you and dad and then Ill just send short messages to my brothers and what not. Ill talk to them in the big letter so just read this letter to everyone. Also just keep listening to my recordings. I can download recordings from you guys and put them on my mp3 player and play them each week which would be much easier cuz then I can just answer your questions while Im sending out my recording. I will send more personal messages this week, but next week lets try the recording thing and see if it works. I dont know if any of that made sence haha but oh well. This week was super awesome! We have found 3 more awesome investigators that I think are going to go somewhere. One of them may take a little while, but oh well haha. We had a super awesome activity the 28th and a super awesome zone conference the 25th. President just kinda laid down the law about things that missionaries were doing such as burning shirts at their year mark and stuff. He also laid it down that this is a baptising mission because there are missionaries out here that have been saying that we just dont get a lot of baptisms which was cool cuz thats how ive been feeling. I feel like every mission in the whole world can find and baptize people, they just have to work a little harder. That has been one thing cool about going to an area where there wasnt any investigators and there hasnt been a baptism in over a year. We are working super hard and we have at least on that could happen by the end of the transfer between the two companionships we have here in Tolosa. it just goes to show if you do what you have to the Lord will fill in the rest. Dont take that as me bragging or anything, cuz I have soooo much to learn and i could be doing so many things better, Its just been super cool to see the changes. Well other than that we have just been working hard this week looking for people to teach. Oh and something else that I forgot to talk about in my recording… Sunday before church it was raining super hard and we had to walk from the bus to the capilla and on the way one of the roads was like a flipping river so we got super wet and it was awesome hahaha. The rain has been pretty decent the past week, but its nice cuz its a little warmer, which doesnt even make sense haha. Well I hope you guys have an awesome week and Ill send my voice recording and pictures! I love you sooo much!!!
¡Te quiero¡

The picture in the car was just a cool picture of the street I took. I think you can see part of the cathedral in it.
Man this week went by fast huh?! I cant believe that its already my third week in the transfer! So my birthday was pretty great! I bought some good argentine treats and that was fun. We werent able to have any cool miraculous experiences on my birthday, but what was nice was we went and had a big dinner at one of the members house, and that was cool cus it was was like a chance to feel like I was home again. Like we were all just laughing and joking and having a good time, and Idk it was pretty much what I needed. So yeah that was a little tender mercy. Howd I know you guys would get one of them camper things… lol. I think it looks pretty flipping cool, and a way good deal! You guys will have some awesome times in that thing. I cant wait to come back and go take some of those sweet trips! Just dont kill yourselves while Im gone haha. This week was pretty awesome! Ill send more information in my recording, but Im glad to hear you guys are doing so great and I cant wait to see some pictures of Moab! So abouyt my passport… idk what is going to happen with that, but we will see i guess haha. Ill keep you updated thats for sure! Well I love you so much and I hope your week Is aweome! Im gonna send you some pictures from an activity that we had today. It was at a super nice park place and it was only 20 pesos which is like a little more than 1 dollar. I love you more than anything! Your prayers are helping a ton, so keep sending them!
¡Con muchísimo amor!

Letter to dad…
Hey padre mio!
Thats pretty sweet that you can write that all up on your Ipad! Haha but it was great getting that note from you!!! I love you so much! Man this week went by way faster huh?! Mom told me about it hahaha she sounds pretty excited about it! I think that it seems like it was a good idea! I think you guys are going to have some awesome vacations in that thing! I cant wait to get some pictures from you guys down in Moab with the new jeep and all that haha. My birthday was a pretty neat experience, but a good one. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way quite frankly! I loved being here in Argentina talking with the people and just thinking about others! It was also nice to spoil myself a little bit too haha. I got some good ice cream and facturas, so that was fun haha. I wish I knew how many missionaries there were, but there are quite a bit! This transfer has been awesome cuz we got a new elder that is a total stud! He is from Logan and he relates to me a lot more, so we are becoming pretty good friends, but we aren’t comps so thats too bad haha. We have high hopes for next transfer though haha. We are really focusing right now on the members, because no one wants to help us out, but its okay cuz thats what we are here for haha. Its so fun to just play around with different ways to make the work go forth, and every day Im learning something new! This place is sweet and because Im working so hard it is keeping my mind off home. Im super blessed with that cuz it would be hard if i struggled with homesickness. Like yeah I miss you guys and Jess and the states, but this is like my second home now! Idk you probably know what I mean. Well I don’t have much more time, but I love you sooooo much and I cant wait to hear more about what happens with this motorhome and the Jeep thing! I hope you have an awesome week!!!
¡Con amor!
