Week 16 (4/5/2010) Email to the Family

Conference was amazing! I LOVED it! I did get to participate in conference but I still want the ensign. I hear we don't get it for like a year in english here. Also I want a pair of earmuffs, one of the ones that goes behind your head. Its starting to get cold here. I hear the winter is brutal here. I am not looking forward to it. I don't like the cold. Nothing really new here. Same old, same old, still waiting on your package. I sent Sam a letter today. I wrote it over a week ago but haven't had a chance to send it. I sent four letters, one to Aditya, Maren, Scott, and Sam. It cost me 52 pesos. That's about 4 dollars a letter. I have yet to receive any packages. I'm waiting for the office people to go pick up my package and then I have to wait til our next meeting in Adrogué which is Thursday so I'm hoping they get it before then otherwise I may have to wait weeks more. We eat lunch with the members about every day. It is rice or fideos (noodles) with some kind of meat and some kind of sauce that's usually very similar every time. At night we order pizza a lot because its delicious and only 16 pesos- 4-5 dollars. I eat cereal in the morning. I eat copos de maiz or copos de arroz normally. I go through a lot of milk with cereal, oreos, and pudding. :) I'm outta time now so I have to go. I wish I could chat with you guys all day, but I can't. I heard I only get 40 minutes to talk to you guys on Mother's Day. 40 is better than none though. I sure love you guys and think of you often. I really enjoyed the messages in conference this week. The gospel really blesses families and has really blessed our family. God has really been good to us. Mom, you should get a tape going for me. :)

Love,

Matt
