It is hard to believe that yet another week has gone by in the mission world. It is starting to get ridiculous, but it is what it is. This week here in the ARG was pretty nice. We have just been teaching up a storm and winning big in the eyes of the Catholics. Last night we were in the plaza talking with the people going to mass and opened the mouth with an old grandpa dressed like a million bucks. He invited us to come to mass with him and we were reminded of all the other invitations and deals we had madewith all the other catholics. Anyways we are men of our word and decided to go see what everyone sees in the Catholic church. So this is how it all goes down... Two gringo mormon missionaries walk into a huge catholic church. Everyone is kneeling and praying, inbetween us is a 90 year old grandpa that everyone know. We walk up to the fifth row and take a seat right in the dead center. The priest comes out of his hiding place and before saying anything else welcomes the 2 representatives from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and encourages everyone to applaude. Thirty five seconds pass and Elder Williams and I are just too stunned. The meeting continues. Forty five minutes later they have a little God bless you deal and again the priest comes down to welcome us and give us the side kiss cheek deal. Then the meeting ends, everyone is outside the church, the Mormon Missionaries walk out, the priest stops his convo with whoever he was talking to, thanks us for coming and then we invite him to our church. He declined the offer but it was still legit. Then like 6 people come up to us and tell us that they want to come to our church and were asking us all sorts of questions about the church. It was a really cool experience and by the way... The Catholic Church... Not True, super weird, and full of hipocrites. Yeah that is how it went down. Also this week we had zone conference in Mendoza. President Lindahl is just one mark above the legit bar. He is one of the most awesome guys I have ever met. He opens my eyes every time. That´s about all I got. The church is true. I love you guys. Keep keepin it real.

Love

Elder Burr
