Ethan's Letter & Photos 2 / 2014 - Santa Rosa, Argentina 1-13-14

Dear Family,


  I cant believe that this week has come and gone. It was slow and faster then ever at the same time. Yes i had transfers and just got my new Companion today. He is from Saul Paulo Brazil. Elder Foliene is his name, and he speaks his languages, Spanish, not much English. Well he says he kinda speaks but he hasn't yet. I am so excited to be with a companion who i have to talk in Spanish with. This is going to help my Spanish grow and i will learn so much more! I am so grateful for this opportunity. I am staying in Santa Rosa for another transfer at least and am excited to work with this Elder.

 My Missionary life was blessed by Elder Landon Pliler from Alpine, Utah! he is a very outgoing, super nice, talks with everyone, energetic Elder. He is our Zone Leader, We did division with him this week and it was me, Elder Wightman, and Elder Pliler. He taught me that just "Fake it until you make it." That we need to just be nice and friendly to everyone, and it doesn't matter if you look like a fool. Make them laugh and you've opened them up to talk with them, and not at them. I have been praying and asking to me a happy person, not just happy for a moment. I have been faking in and just being one of those annoyingly nice people and broke out of my Shell. This has been the greatest blessing and I have just been happier lately. I Love what i am doing and how the Lord is blessing my life.

  Not much happened this week, besides Elder Wightman is going home and that pretty weird... I Love you all So Much!!!!!
