There is an Elder Taylor that lived by Uncle Wayne serving with Jaydan.

On Saturday Jaydan was able to go out and actually talk to people in that area. He said that they had achieved their goals. They learned things that they can do better next time. When they first went out Jaydan was having a hard time. He couldn't remember the language and didn't know what was being said. He said it was horrible. He said the first half went good but the second half wasn't so great. They were talking with a Catholic family that was playing in something similar to a park (but not a park) and even though the family couldn't understand the missionaries they thanked them for the message and just told the missionaries that they were Catholic. Jaydan felt like they liked what they heard but weren't ready to leave what they have. When they left the father of the family caught up to the missionaries and grabbed Jaydan's shoulder and said: "thanks again". That really touched Jaydan and made him feel good.

Another nice thing is since these young missionaries are so new the people are pretty nice to them. The people around this area know that the missionaries are new since they only live about a 10 minute walk from the CCM (MTC). Jaydan said that their faces say...okay we'll listen...whatever but then while they are being taught their eyes get bigger and they start to smile and you can tell that the spirit has touched them in some way. Jaydan thinks that is super sweet.

A funny~while they were teaching a family outside a car drove by and a little 4 year old kis ran to the road and flipped off the car and started yelling stuff. The missionaries laughed.

The best candy are probably "alpha hores" which are just little sandwich deals. Jaydan said some weren't very good but they do grow on you since that is all they get. The food is pretty good. The MTC in Argentina isn't like the one in Provo. You can't buy anything. You have to wait until you get to leave on Saturdays. Jaydan really likes getting to go out and work he feels like it will really help him for when his training is up and he goes out all the time.

Tuesday was the hardest day ever.....it sucked and Jaydan struggled more than ever. But, Wednesday was the "bomb diggety." Jaydan did pretty good in all his classes.

About the Corbota Fea (ugly tie thing) The Americans have always been the President over this activity since they are the ones that came up with it a few years back. The other Americans that were over it are leaving and Jaydan was made President over it. Jaydan of course thought that was pretty sweet. Wednesday nights are the only nights that the President lets the boys get loud at night. I guess it gets quite crazy. Jaydan was sweating pretty bad because he was acting so crazy and he shot is voice from yelling so much. Jaydan really likes this ceremony on Wednesdays and thinks it is "freaking sweet."

A mission is "fetching hard but very fun at the same time every now and then I guess hahaha." The days are so tiring because you are in class all day long. It's crazy!

Jaydan said the Latinos are getting so annoying and hard to deal with. Jaydan even would like to hit a bunch of them. He said there are only 3 or 4 he can deal with. (trials come in are shapes and sizes and forms)

HOORAY FOR ISRAEL!

Love you all and miss ya,
Thee Elder Ropelato
