Hola!
Hows everyone doing? How was Cali? I'm a little jealous i wasn't there, but i had a good week as well. First off all went good with the Argentine consulate guy we just had to sign a few papers in front of him then he answered our questions about Argentina. Then on Friday we all got to hear from Elder Bednar which was awesome! He talked to us on how to be Preach My Gospel missionaries. And he had 5 steps which were 1. understand you serve and represent Jesus Christ 2. Are worthy 3. Treasure words of eternal life 4. understand the Holy Ghost is the ultimate teacher 5. understand teaching is more than talking and telling. Which helped us all see what we should be trying to get to. Then after the talk we got to me with our mission president and his wife and they were both way cool. They both are from Argentina and served missions in Argentina as well. The crazy thing is that neither of them speak english, but i actually understood them pretty good when they came and talked to us. And the other people in my district going to fresno met there mission president who is the couch from the movie forever strong. My district also got to be taught a lesson by the MTC President of the Phillipines which was awesome. I also saw Elder Holland pulling out of the MTC on my way back from the gym which was cool. Oh and yesterday i ran into Brady's cousin, Elder Butler, who seemed to be doing good. Well thanks for all the letters and packages its good to hear from you.
Love,
Elder Trevor Thompson

Trevor's first letter 6-1-11
Hola!,
How's everyone doing? Well things are going good here the first few days were a little rough, but its all good now. My companions name is Elder Montgomery he's from Colorado he's a good guy and were getting along great and he's going to Salta as well. My other roomates are great as well there names are Elder Carlson and Elder Boren. I have an awesome district we all get along real good and were already all way tight with each other. There's 12 of us in my district and 5 are going to Salta with me and the other 7 are going to Fresno, California. There's a couple other Elders living on my floor who are going to Salta but i dont really know how many but they only have like 2 weeks left. I've ran into pretty much everyone i know here i've seen Elder Schone a lot cause my gym time is right after his and i've ran into Elder Braithwaite a couple times and Elder Clayton once. Anyways i've been way busy this first week and learned a ton. We had an awesome Fireside on sunday and got to watch a film where Elder Holland is talking to missionaries which was awesome and helped us all out a ton. We also had our First devotion which was good one of my favorite quotes was "To lift someone up you must be standing on higher ground" and so right now i'm trying to get myselft on as high of ground as i can before i go out into the mission field. As far as the language goes its hard, but i feel like i'm learning so much even in this first week. My teachers' names are Brother Johnson and Kuhn. There way good teachers Brother Johnson went to Argentina on his mission so he gives us an inside on all the stuff he did down there and even has us practice the accent they have down there which cool. We've only seen Brother Kuhn once cause he's been out of town but we had a sub named Brother steele, and its funny cause he looks exactly like Clark Kent(superman) and we always joked with himm about that. Anyways thanks for all the letters and support i appreciate it a lot.
Love,
Elder Thompson
