(Elder Maller sent an audio recording rather than writing this week, arrrgggggggg.)

Send me an email if you would like a copy of the audio recording at davem@mallerresources.com

The following are the highlights from the recording:

• We had a great week here in Ferrari.

• We said good-by to Elder Lopez, he served a great mission and I happy for him and know that he will do great things back home. 

• Transfers are this week and we just found out all the changes. I will be moving to Arco Iris in the Zone of Marcos Paz and I will be the new Zone Leader. My new companion will be Elder Sultan. I’m super excited about the new area and being with Elder Sultan and being a Zone Leader. 

• The new area has had lots of success so I hope to continue that success and make it even better. 

• Elder Tanner will be staying in Ferrari and training a new missionary.

• I bought a jersey for the Argentina world cup that is coming up. 

• Super happy to be in the mission right now, things are going really well. I’m learning a lot.

We got some big news this week! On Wednesday morning we got a call from the offices telling that we would have a flash!! Elder Lopez came into Ferrari to spend his last two weeks in the mission field! Elder Lopez and I go way back and its crazy to finally see him going home. We were never comps but we lived in the same pench together for about a transfer and we had a ton of fun together. So now we get the chance to work together in a trio and that has been a lot of fun, but its been pretty different to. Were all loving it though and we are working well together. The other day on our way back to the pench in our last contact of the day we contacted this guy that can’t speak and can’t talk and he can’t lip read so the only way he could communicate was through sign language but because none of us knew sign language we just kinda felt like cave men hahahah. We would point to the Book of Mormon and point to all the pamphlets and stuff haha. It was pretty nuts but we committed him to read the Book of Mormon and were going back on Tuesday so we are pretty pumped to see how were going teach the restoration haha, will probably have to do some practices without any words hahah. but ya life is going great in the mission so far, so I hope y’all have a great week!!

This was a great week.  On Wednesday we had zone conferences and it was so funny just to notice how they have changed since President Robertson’s time. I remember his conferences were really spiritual and I felt that I always took something cool away from them. Now with President Resek it’s just like a huge motivational party. The topic was all about how we all are going to baptize 48 people each in this year! That is a huge number, it would mean that if everyone could do it, the mission would baptize 3000 plus people. It’ll be really tough but Elder Tanner and I are up for the challenge. At this point we have been trying to work a little differently and plan a little differently. Because of that, on the 27th we could be getting 3 baptisms, but were gonna have to keep working and praying hard!  We also got a change in our schedule so know we leave earlier but we study during the middle of the day cause it’s just way too hot. So far I like the schedule so I’m still just super happy. Something that caught my attention was a phrase they used a lot which is “nuca vive abajo de su privilegio, aplique lo que sabe”. It means that we should never live bellow our privilege and that we just need to get off our butt and just apply what we already know. I hope you guys are doing great I love ya a ton!!

This week was pretty sweet! On Tuesday I got my new comp Elder Tanner!!!! he is super cool guy he was stuck in the offices for a while like 6 months as the materials secretary or something like that so on day one he had a lot of energy and we had a great week together. Fun fact is that his great great great grandpa or something like that is Father Tanner! like the guy who didn’t have to get his leg cut off and he gave a bunch of money to the church and stuff like that. I’m not too sure how long will be together because the transfer ends in like three 3 weeks but will see. On Sunday night we ate waffles and syrup which is something that does not exist here! so that was sweet. right after we made a podcast that is call the "podcast by the Ferrari cast" we are all super excited about it here so ill try to send it too you guys. I love y’all a ton I hope you have a great week!
