La Rioja

Our first week in La Rioja was a good one! Elder Guelet has only been here one change and I just got here so we did a little exploring and meeting new people but we ended up having a really good week. 

On New Years eve we didn't work at night and ate dinner with one of the families from the ward. There is one other pair of missionaries here, Elder Roper from American Fork and Elder Sandoval from Chile. We all get a long really well. Every day we eat lunch together. New years eve we had to go home at the normal time and I ended up just falling asleep before 12:00 and didn't see any of the fireworks. Oh well, next year I can party better.

I love the ward here. Everyone is super close and friendly. This is one of the bigger wards that I have been in. We worked a bunch this week and found had some luck finding new people. A lot of hope and potential in our sector, so I'm really happy about that.

Today we played soccer and ate a bunch of completos together. We went over to simon bolivar to do it and it was awesome to go back and walk on those streets again. I really loved that sector.

I love you guys! Happy new years!

Luke 15

 1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
