Wow can you all believe I will be 22 this Sat? How weird!! Well I don't really have much to say, it's been another week in Liniers, I wish there was something I could tell you, but nothing really happens here!! We really feel like President Argyle will close Liniers soon, It is dying, we still don't really have investigators, a typical day is we leave the apt at 11 walk around doing contacts or trying to teach lessons until 1 then we eat and then from 3-9 we are walking around with out sitting down once! I think in that I have just told our whole week! We are doing everything we can, and I asked president what we were doing wrong or what we could do better, and all he told me was endure to the end of each day and week, and I will get more advice at Zone Conference, which is this Friday! I'm usually very positive in my letters to him and so I think my last letter shocked him, because I have never said anything sad or negative in a letter before!

A piece of good news is we finally have a ward mission leader, its been years since Liniers has had one of those! The only problem is he is a lawyer which means he works A LOT!! And is never home to have meetings! But he seems really excited to work with us, and we are excited to work with him!

I'm sorry this letter is so depressing, but i really don't know what else to say, I guess I could tell a funny story, but I don't think I can write it very funny! So yesterday we were doing contacts, and Hna Perez starts talking to a man knocking on a door, well he talks to us for a while but he didnt have any interest, was trying to fight with us, but my poor little comp doesnt pick up on things like that! so she kept trying to talk to him, and he started to tell us why he doesn't believe in the creation, it's because when he was 12 years old he was out in the country where there are a lot of cows, and he went outside one day and saw a lot of light, and you all know what that light was... a UFO, yup this man was abducted by aliens! He told us all about it, they were really tall and blond, like Germans or something, and they talked to him about how the planet is in danger and a whole bunch of things! This happened when he was 12 and he is now 50, he told us things like this happen a lot in the states! So as soon as he started talking about aliens and stuff I was like ok welp thanks for your time, but my comp, well she started preaching that the creation is true and all these things... yeah she tried preaching to him, so we were talking to him for like 30 min, and then he started talking about Bush and politics and all kinds of things, and that is when she said well we can't talk about politics. So I can mark meeting someone who has been abducted by aliens off my bucket list!!

Welp That is really about all I have to tell, even though Liniers is really hard and the members aren't very supportive, I'm very happy to be a missionary, I know that I cant expect a painless life as a servant of Christ! I decided a few weeks ago I am sick of being sad here in Liniers, I know I am working to my fullest potential, I dont have anything left at the end of the day, there is nothing more I can do! So why be sad, plus my comp gets really sad really easy, it is her last transfer, she goes home in like 5 weeks, she is always sad and crying about Liniers, so I'm always happy so that she can forget about how bad it is, I bet you all never thought I would be the positive one!! But well the mission changes people!

I love you all, you all are in my prayers, and please keep us here in Liniers in your prayers!!

Love
