Argentina is so fun! We got here and we went straight to downtown cordoba. Let me tell you it is absolutley insane down here. Ha i love it. They argentines are crazy drivers. They all drive scooters and honk like none other. My first Area is Rio Cuarto about 3 hours south of down town Cordoba. It is a pretty big city! lots of people. My Companion is Elder Nitta. Ha I don´t understand really anything anyone is saying down here. Every one calls me nuevita. Which means pretty much newbie. But ah the people down here are so nice and friendly. I really am loving it. Its sooooo hot. Guess what????? I had my first baptism on yesterday. Ah I was balling. Guess what the hermanas name was? Madaline. haha it made me so happy. she is 11 years old and you could see the glow in her eyes. She is so awesome. The Second Baptism was a hermano named Miquel. Who is an absolute stud. The Del Rio family is amazing. The Padre is awesome, he helps me with my spanish and knows a little bit of english as well and helps me with saying stuff. the lord has really blessed my companion and I in this area. The second night we went to visit the Gomez family. 4 kids. and a mom and dad who are waiting for there papers to get married. So my companion asked me to give a spirtitual thought so i was way nervous. But I shared alma 26:27. and bore my testimony about it. in Castagano. which is there spanish name. the esposa wife. started to cry. i didn´t know if i said something offensive so i was so scared. but she told me that she needed to hear that scripture she had been going through such a hard time and needed to hear it. I was pumped. I know it wasn´t me who did it, it was the spirit. I love teaching. even though my companion is doing most of it. I love bearing my testimony about it. But a little bit about Rio Cuarto. There are lots of amazing foods. empanadas. fratelas or something like that. lots of dirt roads and very poor people live here but i wouldn´t want to be any where else in the world. I just got done playing futbol I don´t think the latino missionaries like me that much. becuase they didnt know a gringo could play soccer. haha. Tell everyone Hi!!!!
love, elder payton
