Feliz Navidad!

What an amazing week to be a missionary. Christmas was incredible. It was definitely a little different (mostly because I was sweating all day), but it was one of the best Christmas´s Ive ever had. 

We were able to get together as a mission and have an activity. We heard the mission choir, ate a ful, and did a lot of fun stuff :) And as all of you know, got to talk with the family on Christmas. :)

But most importantly, EMMANUEL GOT BAPTIZED. Hes basically the smallest 11 year old Ive ever seen. Hes the son of a recent convert and was so excited to learn! I had the oppurtunity to do the baptism as well and it was a great experience.

Hope you all had a Christ centered Christmas. And now, make some realistic goals for the new year and actually DO IT. I love you all, and I hope you all had an amazing week! Happy new year!

Elder Evans

Merry Christmas from Argentina :)

Crap I forgot to do my introduction!

Dearest people that dont measure time by transfers,

that is all, k bye.

Elder Evans

Talk to ya next year!

Holy cow, Christmas happened....and it was GREAT! I'll start with Christmas Eve, I guess. We found out this week that Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day are all non-proselytize days which is pretty exciting. That means we can only go out by appointment which really means that we have to stay home all day except for our dinner appointments. So Christmas Eve, we delivered a lot of presents and candy to people by just leaving packages on their doorsteps. It was kind of amazing and we got to end the day by singing songs around our Christmas tree and playing board games with our roommates (I'm not as good at Clue as I thought I was).

We started out christmas day with a 2 hour hike up our usual Thunderbird mountain, overlooking the Phoenix Temple. Sister Bauer and I were planning on running the whole 5 mile loop but when we got

there, at 5:45 in the morning while it was cold and dark, we quickly got rid of that ridiculous notion. We came back and had a big breakfast, studied for a couple of hours, then exchanged gifts and opened the gifts from home. It was small and cozy and pretty much my favorite thing that has happened in a while. At around 2 we went to a member's house to FaceTime our families! This makes me sound like an awful person but I was really glad that my companion's parents are currently not living together so she got to skype them separately which meant I could talk to my family longer.....(yikes, I am a terrible human) We then had dinner and visited another family for Christmas and went on a nice walk with them. We ended the day by playing a CRAZY game of Apples to Apples and then passing out on the floor. It was fantastic.

Holiday hikes are the bomb

I feel like I have come to a point in this area where I am content with the way we do things and the little to no progress we are making. I have been struggling a lot these past few weeks with motivation to go out and do work so I was really worried for Christmas. Everyone told me that it would be the hardest day and that I would be so homesick and that I would cry even though I'm not a big crier. Well, I shouldn't have been worried at all because it was a great day, I didn't feel homesick at all, and no one  cried during my whole phone call home. It was the easiest thing! Sometimes I feel like everyone on missions gets waaaaay too dramatic about how hard things are. Honestly, i think if you have the right attitude, a mission is not very hard at all. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but that's how I feel.

The only hard part about christmas was the day after. Why? Because we went to do some service at a member's house for a few hours and they were playing Christmas music the whole time. After a while, they asked if I wanted to pick the next cd. Of course,  I picked the best option there: John Denver and the Muppets! It's not Christmas without that album and I was so glad I got to listen to it! Well, about halfway through the second song, my companion starts yelling, "WHO THE HECK IS JOHN DENVER?" And what does she do? She goes over and CHANGES THE CD TO A MARIAH CAREY ALBUM. I have never wanted to physically hit my companion until that moment. I told her she ruined my Christmas and she laughed because I don't think she realized I was being serious.

Anyway, it was a great week and I'm looking forward to our New Year's celebration. I'm making mom's shrimp dip and popping open some bubbly. It's gonna get rull crazy up in here.

I hope you all had a good week and that you come up with some awesome resolutions and guesses for the new year! Let me know how everything goes!

LOVES

Tylee & Austin are engaged!

Didn't even have to phone a friend for this question. 

WE ARE ENGAGED & I've never been happier!!!

Sister Alex Solomon

Okay so this was kind of an amazing week and there's so much to tell.I only hope that my fingers can keep up with my thoughts! 

Last Monday night, we attended Sister Young's funeral which was very sad. Honestly, it was just kind of upsetting because we got to the viewing and then we found out that the family changed their minds and were not allowing "any Mormons" to hold a service for her. All I could think about was how disrespectful that was to her wishes but at least we still got to hand out jelly beans to kids and they sang Primary songs. Mom, I just want you to know, if you decide to convert to Catholicism or something later in life, I will gladly attend your Catholic funeral. That was weird. I didn't mean 'gladly' as in 'I'm glad that you're going to die'. You know what I meant. (Yeesh, when will I learn to speak?)

We got to take our Christmas trip to see the Mesa temple lights! It was like a mini, warm, temple square-esque experience. It was just really cool because a whole third of our mission got on a bus that

morning and went to Mesa where we went through the visitors center, did a session in the temple with each other, went out to dinner, and then got to walk around at the lights. It was kind of a nice field trip/day off. One of the best parts was that I got to give President Griffin a hug inside the temple. I can honestly say that was probably one of the best hugs of my life.  Anyway, we got to bond a lot with our zone and actually just hang out together which was great!

Chillin with our posse at the back of the bus (where all the cool kids sit) 

Our lesbian friends got married this week! I was actually sad that I couldn't go but also glad that I had an excuse not to go....I don't know. CONFLICTING EMOTIONS.

We attended a stake production of Handel's Messiah which was pretty darn magnificent. I had goosebumps the whole time but especially during the part where they sing "For unto us a child is born (unto us a child is born) and his name shall be called....WONDERFUL....COUNSELLOR...the mighty GOD....the everLASTING FATHER...the PRINCE of PEACE". It's definitely not as good in an email...a bunch of the elders were there though and we were talking to them afterward and something so dumb happened. I was talking to Elder Price (who is known for having no tact whatsoever) and I said something about how I wanted to know which elders were going home at the same time as me since it won't be the same ones who came out with me and he said, "Why? So you can find them and marry one of them? Are you writing anyone? Do boys even like you?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Like, what? Why would you say that? I was laughing so hard so I said

something like, "uh, does anyone even like you?" And then we laughed and that was it. It was just so funny to me because sometimes I forget that most of the elders just graduated from high school and don't know how to talk to people. ESPECIALLY sisters.

I saw a picture on Facebook this week of my old MTC zone leader (who is currently serving in the Montana Billings Mission, and who writes me EVERY week) and he is companions with an Elder KC Evans! Weird! I might actually email him this week and tell him his companion is my cousin.

Anyway, it has been another one of those amazing weeks where things are starting to happen for us again.  I have noticed a trend in this area. We work really really hard for a couple of months and nothing happens. Then, out of nowhere, we have a week where 3-5 new investigators just fall into our laps. This was finally one of those great weeks! We didn't even have to do anything and these people were just handed to us. I just think it's cool that even though we are working on one aspect of things, results happen in a completely different spot and time than we expect. It really is a testimony to me

of how Heavenly Father gets his work done here. It's a great reminder that I am not in charge.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'm so excited to talk to you soon!

Elder Kannon Evans

Dearest people who will not be sweating on Christmas,

Alegrate mucho! Es la navidad!

Merry Christmas everyone from Argentina :) Hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the cold.

This is going to be a little short because we only have a little bit to write, our pday is on christmas this week. But a quick summary. Things are progressing here! The son of our recent convert is set for baptism this coming sunday, and the cousin of another for the next week. Baptisms are probably the best christmas present a missionary can recieve.. ;) 

Christmas is definitely different here. First of all, there are no lights because they would be robbed in like 5 minutes and they cost like 200 pesos for every strand. Second, everyone is sweating. Its a little different, but let me tell you, Ive never felt more close to my Savior during Christmas in my life. Im so happy to be able to spend Christmas here with the people of Argentina. The lights, the heat, dont matter, as long as we have the Savior in mind, its a great christmas. :)

Remember Him.

Love you all!

Elder Evans

Happy Anniversary!

After 18 years, Shane still fits into the same tie!! haha. 

Happy Anniversary, Shane!! 

It's been a long, wonderful, 18 years together! Vickiheart emoticon

6 Months

Dearest people that don't eat Halls cough drops as candy,

Well freak. I don't know how it happened, but, I hit 6 months in about 3 days. Fastest 6 months of my life. And to answer your question if Im going to burn a tie for my 6 months, the people here in Argentina have the habit of burning all of their trash on the side of the road, and I don't think they'll have a problem with me throwing in a tie, so.. yes.

All is well here in Derqui. We have the son of Susana, our recent convert, set for baptism on the 27th, and a few other possibilities. 

Yesterday was a very special day. Elder Fernandez and I had the opportunity to go to a Christmas devotional in Escobar, and it was a choir of missionaries serving here in Buenos Aires North. I closed my eyes and was just able to think and listen to the music (no i didn't fall asleep). And I was able to think about the importance of our Savior. I felt the spirit incredibly strong and I thought, sometimes we just need to do just that, just take a few moments, close our eyes, and just think about His role in our life. Especially during this time of the year. If we take a few minutes out of the day to think of Him, we will feel the true spirit of christmas, and why we celebrate.

I love you all. Have a Merry Christmas. And do something for someone else :)

Elder Evans

Apparently Joseph Smith was a General in the Argentine Army.

Yeah.. our bike broke.

Christmas is coming, the missionaries are getting fat *miss piggy voice*

Sister Alex Solomon:

Well it has definitely been an interesting week. I don't even know how to say all the things I want to say so I'm probably just going to list a bunch of things that happened. This might be long...

Remember how we are serving in student filled wards because of Midwestern University? Yeah, so there have been 6 babies born this week in our wards........it's crazy! Plus, it's weird because I have only been here for 5 months so I have only known most of these women in their pregnant state. They all look too thin now! We have a few more that are due within these next two weeks and, though I have tried hard over these last few months, not one of those babies has been named after me. There's still hope! #studentwards #thebestwards

Unfortunately,  Sister Young, who is the old lady who always tries to feed me mushrooms and who gave me the Korean brass mouse, passed away this week during open heart surgery. I was really sad but her funeral is taking place tonight and is inside our zone so we get to go. She always passed out jelly beans to her nursery kids and they called her "the jelly bean grandma" so we are helping to pass out jelly beans at her funeral (as she requested).

Training is going.......well.....(?) I just hope I'm not doing everything wrong all the time. Sister Moss seems to be doing a lot better (less crying) but we have started to clash a little bit when it comes to what and how we are teaching our investigators. I don't want to just say that I'm always right in those situations but I'm pretty sure I'm always right.  All joking aside though, it has been a wee bit stressful but I think we will come through just fine. It really helps having our roommates here to help me out too. Sister Bauer is my new favorite person.

On Friday we had zone meeting. They usually last about 3 hours and a bunch of different elders and sisters are asked to lead discussions. Anyway, fun fact: the zone leaders called me earlier in the week and said they had been thinking about what I could best contribute to the zone meeting and they asked if I would lead a discussion/teach techniques and tips for working out and eating healthy food! I was actually very excited to lead a discussion for once! I always send you guys pictures of the healthy food that I make so I put some of those up on the big screen while I was talking and afterward, a few elders came up and asked for my recipes and if I would recommend protein powder with them. HA. Elders.

I'm excited because we get to go out of our mission on Friday to the Mesa temple! President Griffin is taking the whole mission to see the lights, go through the temple together, and go out to dinner. FIELD TRIP! I'm stoked. Also, our stake is putting on a performance of Handel's Messiah on Saturday and we get to go!

Anyway, we are not doing so hot investigator-wise. Clint and Nicole still don't talk to us and Chloe and Colleen haven't been able to meet with us for 3 weeks now. Great. But Michelle is praying about baptism this week so hopefully that goes well. I am coming to accept the fact that I am probably not going to see a lot of baptisms on my mission but it doesn't really bother me anymore. As long as I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and am a good example and teach our members how to do missionary work, it will happen someday!

I'm missing home a lot but I'm glad I get to call soon!

LOVES

I think I should wear Sister Bauer's glasses ALL the time.  

That magnification, though....

We made a new friend!

Here's what's up with Andre...

So I've been telling Aunt Snick for a while now that I would update the family on everything that's going on with me, and so here it goes!

You probably all know that I moved down to Fort Rucker, Alabama this summer, so I've been here about 5 months now. It was a rude awakening going from summer in Montana to summer in Alabama because the humidity is absolutely terrible! However, I quickly knew that I would enjoy it here for the next year or so. In September I went through a 5 week course called BOLC (Basic Officer Leader Course). It essentially gets all new officers on the same page in the Aviation branch. 

From there, in October, I went through a 3 week course called SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape). It is a mandatory course for all pilots because we are considered to be at higher risk of being isolated in a non permissive environment. The name explains what we had to learn and practice, essentially what to do if your helicopter goes down in a bad place. It was a very tough course, physically, mentally, and emotionally. There were several reasons why it was difficult, but at one point I had gone over 80 hours without any sort of food, and 36 hours without sleep! For those wondering about my picture with the mustache, it is a silly tradition that the men grow a stache throughout the 3 weeks of SERE. It kinda helps lighten the mood when you're in a bad situation and you see people with funny mustaches!

I haven't done anything real significant since SERE got over last month. I am currently on hold to start flying in January. I am excited to start, but it has definitely been nice to sort of relax a bit for a while before I get into the tough academics and flight instruction that await me. I've been able to hang out with my friends and my dog Lucky. We try to find fun things to do in Alabama. We went to the national peanut festival in Dothan a while back and we even were able to go to the demolition derby. The amount of rednecks there was phenomenal!

Anyway, I'm glad I get to go home next week and see my family! It will be nice to binge drink egg nog and give out some presents and stuff. If you ever find yourself in the South, you know where to find me! 

Love, Andre

Why do people always give me responsibilities?

Sister Alex Solomon:

Wow, I have a lot of things to cover this week...well, since I didn't get to tell you all last week, I am officially a trainer now! President Griffin never called me last Tuesday though like he was supposed to! I got an email for all the trainers early Wednesday morning so we texted him asking what's up. President called about 2 hours before our meeting started and said, "Sister Solomon, didn't I call you and tell you you're training? No? Didn't I text you? Oh, well be at the meeting an hour early to meet your trainee." Soooo yeah. I got there and a bunch of elders at the door were like, YOU'RE training? Great. They sounded like they had a lot of confidence in me.

Anyway, my new companion's name is Sister Moss. She's from York, Pennsylvania and she JUST graduated high school. I feel really old. Even though, I'm only a year older than her. I was hoping I would get someone who was kind of a rock on the mission like me but that is not the case. We've been through multiple breakdowns this week and I'm kind of struggling here. She's not like crazy or anything, she's just stuck in that negative spiral that we all go through in the first 2-3 weeks in the field. I don't know how to get her out of it and help her though so I have been on my knees morning and night praying for guidance. Hopefully everything will turn out alright and no one around us will be affected.

I haven't done super well with healthy eating this week because it's now December and all our members feed us EVERYTHING but I've been working out harder and am back to running a 5k every day. I LOVE IT. Really though, there is such a huge difference in my day and eating habits when I don't work out. Now I just have to do better with my times. Currently I'm running it in about 26 minutes so I need to really start pushing it!

Anyway, I'm really glad that I didn't get transferred because now I can stay with all my lovely people and roommates here for Christmas. But I really do miss Sister Williams and I hope she's doing okay

because she's covering 3 huge wards now!

Thanks for writing me back, Connor! I'm glad it only took 1 month this time! I'll write you soon. And mom, I know I always ask you to send me things but I have one last request. As you know, President Griffin is from Billings and he REALLY loves cows. I was thinking it would be a great idea to get him and Sister Griffin some cute Montana things for Christmas. Would you keep your eyes peeled for me?

I was going to put in a spiritual message about the Christmas devotional yesterday but our wifi pooped out on us halfway through so I'm going to watch the rest of it today!

LOVES

Our Christmas tree that someone randomly gave us last week..

I forgot some more of my update this week.

1. Clint and Nicole Yanko are still not talking to us.....

2. President gave us a nice shout-out the other day! I was sitting in the meeting with just the trainers and new missionaries and we hadn't been put together yet. President was talking about ward relations and he stared at me and said in front of everyone, "Sister Solomon has been in a very difficult area her whole mission where the ward leaders used to not even talk to her. What did you do about that, Sister Solomon?" So I had to stand up in front of everyone and I talked about how we just worked really hard and put in extra effort to physically work hard (Riding bikes EVERYWHERE) so that our ward members could see us working and going above and beyond by giving everyone in both of our wards a handwritten birthday card. Those are just a couple of examples. President then said, "That's right. She and Sister Williams worked hard. I have received emails from one of their bishops that say that these are the two hardest working sisters in this mission. Her trainee is going to have a good time!" HAHAHAHAHA isn't that crazy? My greenie told me she was scared when she was assigned to me! 

3. I've decided that our tabloid name is "Solomoss".

4.We found a couple new investigators this week! My hopes are high!

5. Connor told me in his letter that he wants to serve a mission!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M DYING OF HAPPINESS. He really needs to go. It would be amazing for him. Also, if he's going to go, he needs to start saving NOW.

That's all I can think of for now.... :)

Oh yeah, we have a new mission office address if anyone wants to ever send things there. Mostly, you can just send stuff to my address but if people aren't sure about if i'm getting transferred or not, they can just send it there and it will get forwarded to me no matter where i'm at in the mission.

Dearest people that have never experienced a 100 degree december,

Yeah. Its hot here. 

Bueno! This is going to be extremely fast because our zone is going to TECNOPOLIS in like 5 minutes! But we had a baptism this last week. She is the sister of a recent convert and was so excited to learn! Her name is Marilyn :) We have been seeing a lot of miracles here in Derqui. Stay awesome and enjoy your cold christmas season! :)

Elder Evans :)

Transfers are happening...?

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Mine went well, aside from listening to our Ward member's lengthy monologue concerning all of her marital problems. That was kind of rough, but the meal was great! Sister Williams and I made our own Thanksgiving too so we could make all the foods we missed out on at our actual dinner (mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, pie, etc.). It was pretty fabulous and Sister Williams also introduced me to the magic that is Ben and Jerry's half-baked ice cream.

Sooooo transfers are happening tomorrow...we found out yesterday that Sister Williams is getting transferred. I was pretty sad about it but then I was talking to our zone leaders yesterday and they told me that I was supposed to be training a new missionary this transfer! I'm really excited about it but there's only one problem: when you train, President Griffin calls you the day before to tell you and I have not received a call yet today. I REALLY hope that I get to train but it's getting late in the day and I don't think it's going to happen. Thank you zone leaders for getting my hopes up! Oh well, there's still time. President has been known to change his mind about trainers on his way up to the podium to tell everybody. I'll let you know how that goes.

We had our last official lesson with our lesbian couple, Diantha and Angel, this week and we were so sad! They got us each a Build-a-Bear with a birth certificate and everything. They refused to take a

picture with us because one of them was having a bad hair day but we got some with the daughter, Elainah, so I'll send one to you.

Anyway, a lot more happened this week but I'm running out of time because I have to go cut my companion's hair… we'll see how that turns out! Pictures to come!

On a more spiritual note, I finished the Book of Mormon for the third time since being here and I have learned so much from it each time I read it. My advice for all of you is to take Elder Andersen's advice and read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover. "It will increase your faith".

LOVES

Pretty sure I was talking in this picture.

We had to break into a member's backyard so we could weed it....

The best Christmas lights I have ever seen!

Transfers

Dearest people that dont live in the 90´s,

Yeah.. The 90´s are hitting here in Argentina now. Its basically 1993 but with smart phones. It scares me.

Bueno! Another Awesome week here in Derqui! First of all, Jhoanna and Daiana got baptized! They are so happy right now. They have been seeing the hand of the Lord in their lives, and are living a lot more calmly now and are seeing a lot of miracles. Daiana is the daughter of Susana, the woman that got baptized last week, and Jhoanna is a friend that lives there with them. But yeah they are doing really good right now, and most importantly they are buying and making us food.. thats whats important right? ;)

We also have another investigator that is planning on being baptized this weekend. She is the sister of a recent convert and is really excited about being baptized :) 

Transfers also came around today! Elder Fernandez and I will be staying here in Derqui during this next transfer. Weve seen a lot of miracles here, and we both started here with literally nothing, and we are going to be working for even more.

My "spiritual" thought for the week. In honor of thanksgiving :)

Alma 60:35

Love you all!

PRAY FOR US

So, first off, thank you dad so much for the colored pencils! I have been coloring up a storm all week! Unfortunately, the coloring book hasn't arrived yet but I have bright hopes for the coming weeks!

This week has been kind of interesting… We had some good things happen and some bad things happen… I don't even know where to start. Last Wednesday we had our first ever car conference. It was a huge zone conference but we had to have our cars cleaned and inspected. We also have a new friend in our car! Our new friends name is Tiwi and it is A little black box that sits in the corner of our windshield and monitors our every move. It only ever talks to us if we are going to fast, if we aren't wearing seatbelts, or if we are driving aggressively… Ha! If we are speeding or not wearing seatbelts or anything like that, Tiwi will send a violation report to our mission president and to the missionary department of the church in Salt Lake City. I'll have to send you a video of it because it's pretty funny to listen to!

There was a member of the missionary department who came to our car conference to present to us. He is the chief of the health and safety department and is on the board of the top seven dudes who run the missionary department in Salt Lake City. His name is Brother Edwards and he was super cool! I have more to say about him later… I will send you a video talking about him because something totally crazy happened with him!

Clint and Nicole Yanko have been progressing this week. We had an amazing lesson with them on Wednesday and the spirit was so strong! Clint prayed for the first time ever that night, and it was so

sincere. Nicole didn't even believe in God before we came to their house, and now she talks about how much she loves the plan of salvation and the idea that we lived with God before we came to earth. She also really liked the three kingdoms that we can go to. So yeah all week with them was going really good. Clint found two jobs and he's been doing really well in the addiction recovery program still. Unfortunately, at around 2 o'clock yesterday morning, we received a text from Nicole saying, "we will not be at church today. I have lost my faith in everything and I'm ready to be done." We texted them and tried to go by and see them, but we weren't able to. They haven't replied to our text messages and we are kind of freaking out right now. We are just praying that nothing crazy happened and are hoping that we can see them tonight.

Intermission, we get to go to the temple every 90 days. So, on Saturday, we got to go to the temple with Nanette. We had to wake up at around 5 o'clock in the morning to get there in time for the 6

o'clock session. And what happened? Of course, neither of us woke up to our alarms. So we woke up to Nanette knocking on our door at 5:20! It was crazy but we made it on time and everything was OK. The temple was really beautiful but it was hard for me to pay attention to everything because I was so tired and so hungry. Also, every time I go to one of these bigger temples like the Provo Temple or the Phoenix Temple, it just makes me miss billings that much more because our temple is so small and less formal and I just love it! 

Anyway, things are going well with me and Sister Williams. We are sad because the transfer is happening next week on Tuesday or Wednesday, I think. We are kind of getting stressed out! But I know everything will be fine, and I'm excited to be able to lead my area. Now, we are going to go shopping at the grocery store and go check out some cool outlet stores in our zone! I'm pretty excited for it…

LOVES

We had s'mores for dessert in front of a fireplace! 
Also, who needs a fireplace in Phoenix?

Elder Kannon Evans

Dearest people that will be stuffing their faces with food this Thursday,

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all! Im grateful for all of you. Thank you for all of your support and prayers, they really have helped me a lot and Im extremely grateful :) So have fun stuffing your faces with pie and turkey, and most importantly take the day to give thanks for your families and for the blessing it is to have the knowledge of the Gospel in our lives, because these 2 things really are the most important :)

This week was a good one! The Derqui Ward now has 5 new members! The other Elders here in Derqui baptized a family of 4, and we baptized one this week. I had the opportunity to carry out the ordinance, and it was an incredible experience baptizing someone for the first time :) Elder Fernandez and I also have 2 more investigators that are going to be baptized this next week as well! So next week, which is the end of the transfer, Derqui will have 8 new members! :) We really are seeing miracles here in Derqui, and Im so excited to see even more! :)

Love you all!
