The End (of the MTC) Is In Sight

Sam with his companion and some other dude.

"Hey everybody, another week in the books and I only have 5 more days left here in the MTC! I got my flight plans on Friday and I am going to Argentina on Monday! I guess my visa went through, because I heard of other people that were going to Brazil getting reassigned to the Provo, UT mission. So I am pretty happy my visa went through. I am flying out of Salt Lake at 2 pm on Monday and flying to Atlanta! We get up to the airport at 10ish so I will have like 4 hours, so I think I will eat a ton and I will also call you guys. I don't know exactly what time I will call or how it is all going to work. All I know is that I can buy call cards here at the MTC, and I can probably talk for an hour or something, sometime between 10-2. So I will just call dad first so he can set everybody up. I don't know a better way so let me know. Anyways we get into Atlanta at 8 pm, and fly out of there at 10 pm. We get into Buenos Aires at 9 am on Tuesday morning! I think our mission president gives us a tour of the city our first day so that should be awesome! There are 5 of us flying down to Buenos Aires together and 2 of the 5 have to drive from Buenos Aires to Resistencia, ARG. So that flight should be fun, I think I will probably just sleep and study as much as I can! Anyways I'm pretty excited.

Burritos, mashed potatoes and steamed vegatables. Mmmmm!

"This week was pretty good, I am trying to learn as much as I can this last week! Like I have been told at the end of the MTC, you can have a pretty good gospel conversation in Spanish, and other simple conversations, but getting into the real world should be fun! I just want to be fully immersed in the language, I just want to be good at it already haha. Hopefully in a few months I will get the hang of it. 

"We are finally getting new missionaries in today. 4 Elders and 3 Sisters. I have to train, and talk to them tonight so that should be fun. I'm going help out as much as I can, because the group that brought us in, didn't do anything for us so the first 2 days were really confusing for all of us.

"Anyways I am going to pack this weekend, and try to fit everything in my bags again so that should be annoying, but I am so excited to leave, and yes get airport food!"
