The latest from Argentina!

 (FYI....Dakota's email address did not really work when he first got to Argentina, but I think everything is OK now.  He types on a Spanish keyboard and he says it is a lot different.  But....Here are his last two letters! I decided not to change all the capitalization.  it just seems more like Dakota when it is not using caps!   Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!)

 ok. wow. so.. it´s been two weeks since i last emailed ya´ll... ha ha sorry. things have literally been crazy... but i´m alive. barely.

so far, no baptisms. but, we have some good investigators. i don´t do a whole lot of teaching but... i can talk pretty good. understanding the words that come out of the mouths of some of these people is literally impossible to do. 

so lets do a report. so far, i have been cursed at (in english M****** F******) ha ha and spit at cause i´m american. a dog actually did bite me this time. but it´s not so bad. we were gonna go see sea lions monday for zone p-day. but... we didn´t. we play soccer every saturday morning with the youth of the branch. and i can almost beat the 11 year old... ha ha um.. life is good. elder garcia reminds me a lot of jj...sometimes... 

i had dieahreea... wow... do not know hot to spell it... i had fluid poop for the first 2 weeks, but all is well now.  the drinks are to die for and they have this drinkable yogurt stuff that tastes like heaven!!!! it´s so great. then of course is the famous dulce de leche alfahore. wowzers. the deserts and pastries are delicious. but everything else is... just average. ha ha i had tuna in this salad, i only ate it cause i didn´t know what was in it, and i seriously almost puked. ha ha so i really still don´t like fish. i eat lots of tomatoes. i really want the recipie for snicker salad. cravin it. the fruit here is delicious. best peaches i´ve ever had. i had this fruit salad that was litterally only fruit and orange fanta. it was sooo goood! so i guess things are pretty decent.

i don´t have an actual address. well i do, but like i know it. ha ha i guess just look in pico truncado, look for the main street for B. Rivadavia and then look towards the road Purreydón or somethinglike that. i´m the 4th house up or something. it looks like a legit cabin. ha ha but yeah. 

ha ha ha there are so many cool things here. bought a new wallet. leather. puma. it´s legit. so far.... that´s it. my milk is powdered. so i don´t drink a whole lot of milk. but i drink lots of yogurt. =)

i miss you guys a ton... i had a dream about Jessica and Garrett and we went swimming in this pool. it was great. 3 things i miss lots.  

that´s pretty much it really.... half of our branch is inactive. including the elders quorum president. and of the half that is active, half of them are on vacation. so... we had like 25 people in church... my first week there was like 15. ha ha ha ha it´s pretty different to home...

miss you guys tons but all is well. some guy from the 70 is comming next month. that´ll be cool. but yeah... anyways. gotta go buy some food for the week. MORE YOGURTÍSIMO!!!!!! it´s so delicious.

i love you all very much. thanks for the prayers and sorry it´s been 2 weeks since i last mailed. wont happen again. probably.

 Hello!  

all is well down here. i met this new member and he is the most awesome in the whole world!!! do you post these to my blog still? just wondering. anyways, his name is Monte De Oca and he gave me these canned peaches in a cup and then i added yogurt to it (it´s the liquid kind) and it was the best thing i´ve ever eaten in my entire life!!! ha ha 

they love their soccer down here. me and my comp are going shopping today. they have some legit stuff. 

Fenix is the greatest. can´t wait to see him again. ha ha i´m so excited. there are some ADORABLE kids down here. and they use really small and basic words so i can understand them! that´s a bonus! 

i keep good track of stuff in my journal. i write lots. oh, so yesterday, we were knocking doors, and it started raining... hardcore. and it was freezing. but i know the harder i work now, the more blessed i´ll be later. Garcia says the harder i work, the hotter my wife gets. ha ha so i´m workin hard!!!

um... not much else to say. hope you like the pics. i´ll probably send one or two home each week. jess has one i sent her. it´s just me in the dirt... so... maybe she´ll share.

i´m excited for JJ and Jaxson. i think about them sometimes. 

i think i´ll have a baptism next week or the week after. i´ll probably be giving the Holy Ghost. scary!  so.. yup. gotta go now. but have a great week and look for my e-mail next monday. 

thanks for the prayers. i could use the help.

love ya´ll!!!!
