CATAMARCA, Argentina! It's So Hot Here!

Well hello my family!!! I’m so glad to hear that all of you are doing so well there in Colorado!!! Here in Argentina I have just arrived in my new area with Elder Lulich, a missionary that will be going home after this transfer how very very sad haha.  I am here in CATAMARCA! I’m in the mountains and oh my freaking gosh it is soooo hot here like dying hot it can reach up to 55 grados and that is literally 125 degrees holy mother of pearl I’m gonna die here hahaha!!! y papa su espanol es perfecto jaja hablaremos este navidad y contaremos chistes y historias para que los otros no puedan entendernos!!! sera buenisimo no¿y papa para que sepa ayer en la noche estaba en colectivo  y en camino yo hable con un catolico y basicamente le explique nuestro religion y yo estaba solo y no se queria compartir eso que yo puedo hablar con cualqueir y se que el espiritu es el voz que esta comunicando conlas personas!!! I hope all of that was written decently so that you can understand it haha!  I love the mission its awesome. I’m excited to get started here in Catamarca like you have no idea!!! This Christmas season has been pretty freaking trunky I shant lie but that’s ok!! So about my new companion Elder Lulich, he’s a hard worker. We live in a pension and it is so freaking, freaking hot on the inside of our pension like oh my gosh hahaha. The only room that’s not super freaking hot is the room where we sleep!!! Which is good that’s definitely the most important!!! We have a huge area right next to the mountains where we work and the other half is in the city of Catamarca. Its’ way cool and we don’t have a bike to use so I think elder jones might be losing a little bit of weight here! Never a bad thing!!!!! We showed up and tomorrow is the festival of the virgin which I guess is cool but it’s hard to teach from what I’ve heard. But we’re gonna baptize and convert here I just know it!!!!! I don’t have a whole ton to say but mom and dad I love you guys a ton and I sent letters home with elder sandall he just ended his mission): I cried when he left too but now you guys will have a Christmas present from me haha!!!(:(:(: heck yes anyways I love you guys a ton I love all of you and keep on being the best family everrr!!!!! chau Elder Jones

I would love it haha!!! this week has been interesting!! I didn’t want to tell you guys but I had a problem with my knee and liquid above it! I went to the doctor several times and no one knew what it was. I was very scared I was getting sent home because It could have been what lubricates my knee and it could have been saliendo de mi rodillo haha. Look at that woops accident!! Anyways but it turns out its just inflamed fat above my knee and the bone is bruised si no harm done!!! and this week was crazy because we had the Christmas conference and it was really good!!! I saw summers I sang in the choir and we all got brand new pillows for our presents and it was super super awesome. I’ve been needing one!!! I love Spanish! I really don’t speak a whole lot of English anymore so that is pretty sweet. I love it here in Argentina. Today we had a service project with president!!! it was crazy and we worked all day so we have another full p day pretty much tomorrow haha. So that is pretty awesome I can say I’m pretty pumped he gave it to us and we were like ok well then!!! Anyways this Christmas season hasn’t been Christmas at all. I here Christmas and man it makes me miss home and all of you guys but its ok!!! Anyways right now we are really looking for investigators because we need some for when I leave which is probably going to be this upcoming Saturday!!! That’s ridiculous. I have come to love this area so freaking much it like hurts!! I don’t wanna leave any of these people Its gonna rip my heart out when I leave): well I guess it has to be done!!! oh well!! anyways I love the mission.
