Letter to Mom and Dad

This child has grown up just in the last 2 months! He sounds good, and excited to do the work.

Dear Family,
It's been such an exciting week this week! Just an hour ago; I got my travel plans for Argentina! We leave Salt Lake City at 12:00 p.m. noon on December 6th and arrive in Atlanta, Georgia at 5:33 that same day. We leave Atlanta at 7:35 p.m. and arrive at Buenos Aires at 7:50a.m. on December 7th. I went to the Missionary Mall with my companion because he needed to get some shoes repaired, and I got some free ties! Plus I'm playing a special musical number on Sunday for the entire MTC! It's going to be during a devotional.

I am still printing pictures, so I will send them to you right before I leave. I'll send them home among other things that I don't want to take.

Congratulations to Paige for being accepted to U of I! Work hard and keep your head up!

That is so cool about Dad's job! It makes me so happy to know that things are going well, or are at least is going to go well. Your trip to Italy seriously makes me jealous, but you guys need a break, and they do say that Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America!

So turns out that the church gives me a credit card when I get there, and I can use my card for personal items such as souvenirs and what not.

Gavin, I understand it's going to be hard to be the only one at home, but Paige will only be 2 hours away and I'll be home before you know it. Don't worry... keep your head up and stay busy!

It was so crazy at the temple today! When we were getting dressed before the endowment session, one of the laundry workers came up and asked us, in a very heavy Spanish accent, where I was going on my mission. I said Argentina and he went crazy with excitment and started rambling in Spanish, and I understood him! He said he was from Buenos Aires, and he said the people down there are the best in the world. He also said the Asado (steak) is fantastic. It was so cool! The gift of tongues is real, because I experienced it first hand today!

Sorry for not writing Grandma and Grandpa, I will get a letter to them asap. I also apologize for this letter being late. They shut down the mail service here early and it will be closed on Thursday because of the holiday.

I do see Adam and Kelton also daily here. They both take their language class in the same building as me. Kelton leaves for Italy on Monday.

Well I've got to go! I will write you next week! My second to the last letter before I'm in Argentina! Ahhh!

i Haz lo Justo!
