Hello!!!!!Well how is everything going. Well not much more happened with in this last week. We did finish the transfer of strong wih the two baptisms and that was good. It was a story, so we share the church with Berazatagui, usually here every ward has their own church. Well Berazatagui baptized the week before and the pump to drain the water didnt work, well they didnt bother to tell us and we showed up to the church saturday at about three to start filling it up and we opent the door to the font and it is full with nasty old water. We were like crap what do we do now. We had to get buckets and started bucketing the water out. It was a story. We took off our ties, shoes, socks, rolled up the pants and got to work. After we had drained almost half, our bishop shows up with this little hand pump thing, so that help. We thought that we were going to start at 6, we were thinking like 8 or something, but we got started at 630. It was awesome. One of our talks forgot to prepare it, so I had to give one, our ward mission leader asked me, i had about 30 seconds to prepare, and that is no joke, then my comp and I sang a musical number, then our 2 witnesses didnt show up so I had the opportunity to do that also. Well that was the good part of the week and of saturday, until the night. So about 930 we get a call and it was our zone leaders and they told us who is leaving and what not. Well we thought for sure my comp was leaving. He woke up saturday morning and started washing his clothes and all. Well it came to pass that I am the one who had to leave. It was a bummer. I am now in Mayol A. It is an area split into two. So we live in an apartment with four elders. So it is Mayol A and Mayol B. So this will be fun. My new comp is Elder Steinkuler. He is an awesome Elder and I am excited to work with him. So nothing better than 4 areas with 5 comps in 6 transfers. Hahaha. It is alright, I jus tdidnt really want to go again. I just hate the packing and then the traveling on the trains is the worst. Especially today. We had our meeting at 930 in the morning and we get to the station at about 745 and they said all the trains are cancelled because someone jumped out infront of a train and killed themselves. It always happens on the Pday of transfers. So we waited an hour to take a different train and that never came. So finally Elder Shupple and Elder Palmer showed up and we took a remis. Which is a cheap taxi. It was about an hour and it was 80 pesos. So that put a damper on the missionary buget. haha. Well that is about it for the week. Not much more happened. That is crazy that the olympics are already started also. I didnt have a clue. That is cool. Go U.S. and the others that are from Argentina. hahaha. Oh yeah, so we did hear today from President Asay that The new President is President Stapley from Bountiful Utah. So that is a bumer that Pres Asay is going. I really wanted to do the full two with him, buit i´m glad that we have another american President. Hahaha. Well that is it for the week. Next week I´ll havwe more. I did recieve one package today and probably the other on tuesday of next week at zone conference. So that is it, I will have more from the new area next week. They used to call this area the promised land because it baptized the most in the mission and now it is down, so we will see what we can do. Now they just call it the snake pit because they say that there are so many snakes here haha. Not real snakes, snakes as in the argentine girls that always stare at us and try to flirt with us hahahahahaha. Well that is it for the weeK. Until next, keep it real. Keep studying the scripts and being solid like you all are. I love you all so much and I love this church and love the opportunity that I have to be a missionary. It is an amazing experience and I am learning so much. I love it. I love you all ELder Gubler
