so heres the rub, our travel group landed in buenos aires and we. drove for the fist time in argentina which is SO awesome :) i love how the people drive!! we went to another terminal where we took an hour flight to bahía, i sat next to this rough looking man, i started talking to him and just my luck the first person i try to teach didnt believe in god haha, but i still taught him the first lesson in the plane :) haha, not sure how well it was recived, lucky for me he spoke quite a bit of english. we landed and met our mission prez and went to the mission offices, we ate millinasa (which is like a chicken fried steak kind of) (ps im probably butchering all of this spelling) and we slept that night in the assistent to the president´s house. the next day we recieved our trainers. my companion is elder forbes from highland ut! great guy :) we couldnt go to our area right away so we hit the ground running! we knocked door and bore some testimony :) we talked to this lady who had her trechea removed because of all the tar in there from smoking, she was supposed to get baptised before but the doctors told her no. elder forbes asked her if she had been reading the book of mormon and if she knew it was true, she said that she thinks it is. we prayed with her, she offered it and asked if it was true and she started to bawl. now she knows :) also this other lady, she was painting her door and elder forbes was talking to her about the church and from what i could understand she didnt believe she was just arguing and didnt wanna hear anything. i had the impression that she was a little hard in the heart and needed some softining i told her. that it was my second day in argentina and i wanted to help her paint her door, she turned 360 and listend  we went to our area that next day which is, punta magotes! well talk to you later :) i love you all, tell monroe hi and i hope all is well!
