Well my new area is cool, it is a big city right on the border, ive already seen the Uruguay elders walking in my area. I may be entering uruguay today with some other elders. My new LD is way cool, i like him a lot and its weird my district here is new. I am one of the oldest missionaries haha. The LZs are the oldest, my LD has one year down, and then me. So i actually feel like an older missionary here. The food is still the same, wont change ever. We have some richer members here though that make a few extra on the side. The work is still the same, a little hard but i am liking the new area where i dont feel like ive already knocked every single door. ****** called me on sunday and he is sad i am gone, haha. He might visit livramento soon and he wants to pass by and see me.
The other day we ate at a very good members house. The dad started teasing the 15 year old daughter and she freaked out and then got up and left the room. It made me laugh like crazy because i remember when dad does it to ashley and how sometimes the whole family would join in. Ah good times. Tomorrow is a zone conference and i am excitied to see Elder ****** again. Zone conference will be in Alegrete. During conference its one of the biggest holidays here in Rio grande do sul. Gauchos are coming into the city from everywhere and everybody is riding horses through out the city. Its good we have conference this day becasue nobody will be open to letting us in haha. The holiday is kind of stupid too because they are celebrating a war that they had with sao paulo. But sao paulo won.. so i dont get it.
Anyways thats all that is goin on here.
Serving a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Lansing, Michigan & Santa Maria, Brazil. 11/10-11/12
Sao Borja, Brazil
São Borja is a city in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. São Borja is the oldest municipality in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul and was founded in 1682 by the Jesuits as the first of the Seven Points of the Missions, and named São Francisco de Borja, in honor of Saint Francis Borgia. It is situated on the Western Frontier of Rio Grande do Sul on the border with Argentina which is defined by the Uruguai river.
São Borja is known as the Land of the Presidents as it is the birthplace of two Brazilian Presidents: Getúlio Vargas (1883–1954) and João Goulart (1918–1976).
The city is linked to the argentinian city of Santo Tomé through the Integration Bridge.

Getting Transferred
Today is transfers and.... i am leaving Rosário, i am going to Livramento. My new companion will be Elder ******. I will leave tomorrow so today is my last day with Elder ******. I am way sad to leave Elder ******. We have become way good friends, i will miss him. He wants to study in BYU so i told him if he goes to Utah me and him will live together in Provo. But i am also ready to leave Rosário.
Cool thing, a family from Alegreto has been visiting Rosário. We took them to church and ***** walked holding my hand haha. All i know, is I may not be baptizing a ton of people but i have made friendships that are already stronger then some of my friendships i had before the mission. I am learning how to love people and i love it.

Things are alright
Sounds like things are going great, kids are starting school, big red is gone haha. A lot of things have already changed since i left lol.
Things here are going alright. We had another tough week but i am looking positive again now that it will start going better, the problem is the branch i was serving in is not doing anything so we are starting to work more in the other branch because they are looking forward to helping us out, its just kind of sad to leave my other area.
We have two more weeks in this transfer, i think i might stay here in Rosário for another 6 weeks after, or i will be transfered to another city. I dont know, but i am ready to leave to another city.
On a good note my companion and I are getting along great. He is really great and is a professional mangá artist (some weird comic book drawing things) he has started to teach me how to draw and i am improving haha.
Have a good week and I will write to you next week!
