Jaydan and the missionaries got to go to some sort of Club for a BBQ. He thought it was pretty sweet. The club had a big pool (without water), 2 giant soccer fields, a bunch of tennis courts, a basketball court, and a bunch of courts for this Argentina game that is like a mixture of tennis and racket ball. You us a tennis ball and you can hit it off the walls like racket ball and the rackets are a little smaller than a tennis one and they're thick pieces of wood with holes in them. (kind of crazy) There were hundreds of picnic tables and what not. It was a great place to go and have fun for anyone. Oh, and it even had jungle gyms and swings. When they left that night Jaydan said his legs were so beat from running all day long and his feet were killing him too but he said "Holy Cow it was so much FUN".

Jaydan said the babies in Argentina are so cute. He said their eyes are just so pretty. Jaydan really loves the little kids but he isn't allowed to touch them so it is kind of hard to play with them. (Jaydan has always loved little kids and is so good with them)

When they got back to the MTC they had a few more classes and Jaydan had a hard time staying awake in them. I guess to help the missionaries stay awake they do Head~Shoulders~Knees & Toes in Spanish the Argentina way and that helps. They had to do that a few times in each class..

Jaydan was feeling like he was understanding more Spanish but today he felt like he understood very little again. They have and "English Fast" this week which means they can't speak any English and Jaydan said it is really hard. He said "wow, I am about to kill myself......but don't worry mom it is just a figure of speech."

More missionaries came again today. (not many Americans though) Jaydan only met his new roommates for a minute because he was in a hurry. He ran in and out and asked where they were from. One is from Argentina and the other is from Chile. Jaydan hopes they are as cool as his last ones. The last ones spoke a bit of English like Jaydan does with Spanish and they were able to help each other out. One of them gave him the best "alfajores" and it was super delicious. (have no clue what he's talking about) He is sure they will be just though....at least he is hoping.

Jaydan is learning so much about the Gospel and is finding cool scriptures that pertain to the lessons that they prepare for. Jaydan thinks it is crazy how the scripture answer questions so specifically if you can just find the right one. He really loves it and says it is ridiculous! (happy to see his testimony of the scriptures growing)

Proselyting was good and bad at the same time this week. Jaydan thought is would be cool all week if it would rain during the time they get to go and proselyte. Well it did....but not just rained it poured the entire 7 hours. Jaydan didn't mind the rain at first but soon it became an inconvenience and was getting everything in his book bag wet. His scriptures and a few papers survived but thats about it. When they tried reaching the people they had made appointments with (calling ahead) either the man of the home wasn't there or wouldn't answer. So, when Saturday came they didn't have a lot of success catching the people home. They would try a few times with no success. Jaydan was bummed because these people had been excited to have them come back. Then it was time to go see Ramon the guy that they had met last week. The one that was pro at everything that they had talked to for quite awhile. The missionaries were saying that if they didn't catch him it would be the worst day ever. Thank goodness he was home because the missionaries really needed that to boost their spirits since they missed so many others and no one was in the streets because of the heavy rain. As they walked up to Ramons door he opened it before the missionaries reached it and said "come in boys, I have been waiting!" Jaydan said that was so needed....to finally talk to someone and get out of the rain. He had thought that the rain would help them and people would just let them in so they could get out of the rain but it hadn't. They visited and taught Ramon for just about 2 hours. Every time they asked a question Ramon would answer it and then tell them a 15 minutes story. Jaydan really like Ramon and just thinks he is so cool. He can totally see him getting baptized because there is always such a good feeling when they are with him.

Jaydan said that they met or surpassed all their goals for this week except one where they were one contact short but that was the only one. So number wise it was a good week. He didn't have many spiritual experiences this week though and could really feel a difference in himself. (he felt a little down) All is good though!
