Hola familia y amigos!
Wow, so it's really happening. I am going to Argentina, and I can't lie to say that I'm soooo incredibly excited :) However, I have learned a lot here in Boise. It's an experience that I can never forget. I consider it one of my two "real missions".
So, for this week Elder Shade and I have been trying to be exactly obedient and to seek the Spirit more in finding and teaching. Honestly, it's hard at times, but the blessings always come. We have been blessed with many opportunities to serve members, less-actives, and non-members, and with some good potential investigators. We're still lacking in baptisms and people with baptismal dates, but as we trust in the Lord AND do our part, those will come.
Also, someone threatened to call the police on us when we tried to talk with his wife. That was fun :P
I got the early Christmas package. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I cannot express how happy that made me to have home-made granola balls, new music, the wallet (badly needed), and especially the photos (badly wanted). You are the best.
Ok, so travel plans. The mission secretary has all of my travel papers. Sometime towards the end of this week I'll have a final interview with my Mission President, then stay overnight in the assistants' apartment, then be driven by the President to the airport at like 4:30a.m. I fly from Boise to SLC Nov. 3, from there to Atlanta, and from there to Buenos Aires, arriving at about8:00a.m. Nov. 4. Total flying hours: basically an eternity. :P (I assume I'll probably send a short email when I get there. And I don't know about calling home at the airport again; probably not, but I'll ask and just plan to call Mom's phone the same as last time if I do get that chance.)
Anyway, I got to go and write some personal emails. I love you all. With the Lord, I'm going to make this the best week Boise has ever seen.
Les quiero muchisimo,
Elder Blake
