Hey Fam!!!
Sounds like the summer has begun and your not going to slow down for anything, BIEN AHI!!!! haha some Spanish for ya! I'll start out by telling you that Elder Balvin and I andtwo other companionship's went to the LUJAN ZOO this morning and wow it literally is a thril, the lions and tigers come and rub up against your legs like house cats do, it was quite an adventure.
We have our bikes now so we got up and showered and rode them to the zoo and arrived there at 9 when it opened! I will have to say the first time I went I was spoiled because we didn't get to kiss a bear or cuddle with the cubs this time but it is still so so so FUN!!!

This weekend Saturday and Sunday was stake conference here but not just any stake conference, it was a stake conference broadcasted for all of Argentina. You wont believe who spoke, Elder Boyd K Packer and Elder Christopherson, such good talks. Elder Packer talked about the importance of the holy ghos, he taught us that if us as missionaries don't confirm those who we baptise its useless and its like we are baptizing bags of flour - very straight forward.
I am so grateful for the spirit and his constant work testificandanos sobre la verdad de todas las cosas, haha I just typed that in Spanish without even thinking so I'll leave it and just tell you it means testifying to us the truth of all things.

Elder Balvin and I are working really hard just like Elder Lopez and I were doing but it is much easier with the bikes, we had a great week teaching our investigators and being apart of their lives, that is what I love is that we visit them every single day and they look forward to our visits and we become part of their lives.
We are teaching Familia Rodriguez who have 5 children, Patricia 13, Rosio 11, Ailen 10, Jorge 9 and Adolfo 8... they are progressing and should all be baptized this weekend. Well maybe not Adolfo, we are not sure what to do, he has a speech problem and can't talk in a way that we understand him so we don't know how he will pass his interview... but he understands and can point and stuff.
We also have Javier and Lucia who we have been teaching for a month now and they are so so so ready but we are having troubles with the parents.. they are never home and when they are they are too busy to talk to us, but we need their permission to baptize their kids. We talked to the mom and she is fine with it cause the kids like to go to the church but she still needs to talk to the dad because he is so so catholic and doesn't believe they need baptized again, we are praying he will understand and that we can have his support for this weekend as well.
I don't remember if I told you about Santiago who is a member and was preparing to go on a mission and got his girlfriend pregnant so now he can't go and we are teaching his girlfriend - well she is progressing great and we want to baptize her this weekend as well so Elder Balvin can see it but she doesn't feel ready yet so we are going to pass by every day to help her feel ready.
The work is going great and we are super busy, andI wouldn't have it any other way!!!

Also I don't remember if I told you that this is President Benton's last transfer so he has three weeks left, President Carter arrives in two weeks and only has a week to learn from President B. and then he will learn from the assistants.
Tomorrow I have my last interview with President Benton and then his last week he will visit each zone to say good bye... Ugh Mom I honestly can't imagine how that must feel, I don't want that day to come, I love this people and I love my mission with all the fabrics of my heart, I still have so much to do and to learn and so many more people to help.

I have been thinking about my friends at home and on their missions and I pray every night they too are preparing to love this work and loving this work like I do here in Argentina! Honestly time is going by way to fast and I want it to slow down a bit, all I know is I have to continue to better myself and work hard.
Well this is about all for this week... the next time I write I wont be with Elder Balvin at my side, I will be with either my next comp or in a trio with Elder Quackenbush and Elder Salazar until the end of the transfer.
I am so grateful for your letters mom and the time you take to write me! It really means a lot and I want you to know your time is well spent because I leave the computer cyber with a bigger smile and desire to share with others why our family is so happy and so amazing!!! Thanks for all you do!!!!
Keep it Real, Keep it Clean, Keep it Sexy
Espero que Dios lo Bendiga en todo lo que van hacer esta semana
Con Much Amor
YOUR ELDER QUADE CLIFFORD FOSTER
