Elder Michael D Rowley, Neuquen Argentina: 10 July, 2013

So recently I found out that my visa did not come so I will be re-assigned. I will find out tomorrow.

I am really trying to be careful with your money. There are some things though That i need. Like just today I needed to have my suit dry cleaned before I leave, but could you please call Mom and have her put 100 on the card. In my itinerary it said i needed it just in case at the airport. Thank you. I will send her a letter today too.

Everyday I am constantly trying to loose myself. I a getting better at it now. I want to be the Dan Jones of my time.

So whats new with you? I totally wish that I could be in Italy with you, Dad. It sounds so fun. I am glad that you are having fun!

I will email you part 2 but I am going to go lift with my companion.

Later:

Hey Guys,

Hey so this week has been pretty crazy. I have just gone to class and such. It has been pretty crazy. Like non stop movement.

Thank you for your letters, they are really good and I like reading them. So from now on I will just email all of you. There was kinda a little split for awile, sorry.

So since my Visa has not come I will be re-assigned. So it will be like 2 missions. I am excited. I can speak spanish pretty good and I actually taught a lady over skype yesterday. She was from Chile.

I have a ton of new guys in my zone and they are awesome. I really like them. My fav is Ratliff. He is a super cool kid from Arizona and a very strong wrestler. He is such a stud. He is a national champ wrestler and he wrecked me. I have carpet burns on my elbows and face. He only wieghs like 135.

Check out the carpet burns, above! :-(

Fav MTC bud - Elder Ratliff and I, above.

So yesterday a member of our Mission Presidency came down to our dorms and asked to speak to me. I followed wondering what I did. He took me to a quiter area and turned around. He started by saying " So, I have been hearing alot of..." Crap I thought, I am so in trouble. But then he proceeded to say "good things coming in all directions about you. You are excelling quickly and doing very well." Oh what a relief. I thought I was in trouble. Haha I guess not.

Hey Jennifer, I am glad you emailed me, I really am. Thanks for that.

Umm so I will try to answer direct questions but my time on the computer is about up. I have been emailing others.

Well I love you guys and thank yuo for your sacrifice. Good luck and Ill write next wednesday.

More cool people I've met:
