Matt's email 9/7/2010

You people back there have no idea how happy I am to look outside and see the sun shining, hear the birds chirping, and see the trees finally blossoming. It has seriously been the longest 9 month summer of my entire life, but it looks like things are finally staring to turn around. It is about time. It sounds like things have been pretty busy around the house, which would be a good thing I supose. It´s crazy to think that pretty soon that basement will be empty and mom and dad will just be staring at each other for 12 hours a day figuring out what they are going to do. Don´t let them get too bored ok Heather? Cam and Ashley are having their baby this week?? It seems like just yesterday they announced that Ashley was pregnant. Man I wish them the best of luck and I hope and pray that everything goes without a problem. The family is growing like a weed without me. I somehow have a niece and a nephew that I don´t know and pretty soon Olivia is going to have another one. (Prophecy from Matt Burr). Man the way things change. This week was pretty good down here in the ARG. Rivadavia is just too legit. The young men in the branch are the biggest studs. Every Sunday they bring one of their friends and they always are willing to leave with us when we ask them. They are super cool kids and help us out a ton. We put a date with one of their buddies named Ariel for the 18 of September. We are pretty confident he will make it, we just have to talk to his parents about it. I´m sorry I don´t write a lot about the investigators that we have. A lot of them are just kind of the mediocre people that are interested in the Gospel and progressing, but have some obstacles to overcome. I try to keep you informed on the people that really stick out and have a cool story, but that hasn´t happened for quite a while.
About the whole culture thing of these people... They are just crazy. They have this mixed up theory that the United States is full of thieves that want all the fresh water from Argentina and that we are spies here trying to find out how they live. We have also heard that we sold them bombs that were all duds and that is why they lost the Falkland Islands to England. Also, perhaps the most ridiculous, thing that we have heard is that they developed the most sophisticated fighter jet in the 80´s... You never would have thunk it right? These people life in houses with bamboo roofs and invented the most sophisticated fighter jet?? Yeah right. It´s way funny hearing how sweet they think their country is. They think it is just the bee´s knees down here. That´s about all I got for the new news. The time is flying down here. It´s crazy to think about the day I entered the MTC. Feels like Yesterday. I love you all. Do work.
Love
Elder Burr
