Hello Family,

I hope your week is moving along just swell.

News: We have a baptism planned for this next saturday. Her name is Adriana Ruiz. She lives way far away in Tucuman, but she has been here in 25 de Mayo picking pears for the last month or two. She`s going home this next monday, but she want`s to get baptized before she goes home. With her, I`ve seen the spirit working more than with any other investigator I`ve had. We`re going to be visiting her every day this week.

Other than that, Transfers is this next week. I`m ready for transfers.

I`ve been praying for my future companion every day this week. I hope that I`ll be prepared for him and him for me. Who knows? I might even train a new missionary.

Yeah, sometimes the mission is tough. Life`s not over, and I`m not dying or depressed, it`s just hard sometimes.

I pulled out my mini For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, and began to read it on the colectivo.

After reading it, I decided to repay the kind, soft, colectivo seat by giving it my wallet. It gratefully accepted and promised me an opportunity to buy myself a real argentine wallet, if I did so. He took such good care of the cell phone that I gave hime last month, I even tipped him 250ish pesos, my mision debit card, my driver`s liscence, and my temple reccomend, becuase his idea was so good.

 Who need`s wallets anyway? If God wants, it`ll show up. If not, I will still live. Things. Are. Replaceable.

Thanks for your prayers,

Elder Bradley Turek
