Hola! From Argentina,
     How's everyone doing? Well i finally made it to Argentina everything went good with traveling until we got to Buenos Aires, the plan was after we landed to just go and get on a plane to Salta, but i guess there was to much ash from the volcanoes in Chile that they couldn't fly us so we ended up waiting in the airport all day until they decided we weren't going to fly that day so they got us a hotel to stay in for the night until we could fly out the next day. So the next day we flew to Salta, met our Mission President and had our first ligit meal in Argentina, then stayed the night. The next morning we all met our trainers and found out where we were going and left. My trainer's name is Elder Williams who's from Idaho. He's an awesome trainer hes also the district leader. But right now were in a town called Alto Comedero which is in the providence Jujuy and there are dogs everywhere here its crazy! The culture here is so funny because were teaching people that live in the poorest conditions and yet almost everyone here has a flat screen tv and dvd player its so weird. also the people here love orange fanta i've had it nearly every day, which isn't bad. The food here is actually really good i haven't anything that i didn't really like yet.  Well I started working the night i got here, and i didn't really understand to much but i went along with it. But since then i've been helping teach the lessons a little more each day. Sunday was awesome i got to introduce myself in church and the members are all way cool. And the best part is last night when we were knocking doors, actually instead of knocking you clap outside there house, but anyways and we met a family and i got to invite them to be baptized, and they said that they wanted to! Other than that we have a baptism coming up this saturday with a girl named Victoria which is going to be awesome. Oh and mom as far as pouch mail goes yes we do have it, all the elders in my apartment said to just address your letters to the mission home and it will work. I'll try and send pictures to you next week but the computer i'm using right now doesn't take memory cards so i'll try to find one next week that does. Thats cool Geoffery is going to the same mission as his brother, i've never heard of spanish speaking mission there though that will be cool. Well thanks for everything
Love,
Elder Thompson
