We sure love you miss Ali, and so fun to see and hear the kids and Steve, but I missed Kline, tell him we missed him and love him. Im so glad for your new calling with the Young Women. You will strenghten those beautful young women with your great faith and understanding of the Atonement.  We just had the most amazing experience this morning With One of our new Apostles, Elder Rasband. He was speaking to all the church employees and senior missionaries. He said I think I have always loved the Lord since I was a little one.at my mothers knee. He talked about six generations of family in the church from a great great grandfather that joined the church in Denmark sold his big plantation and paid for 90 people to come to Utah. He died of Cholara about 10 days into the trip on a ship on the ocean and was buried at sea. His mothers family settled Ephram Utah and his fathers family settled Heber. We live the way we live today for our posterity for generations to come. He has a little clip from one of his great grandmothers jounals that says,, out of our posterity will come an apostle of the Lord. He shared how he received a call from the church office building last year on tuesday right before General conference for him to come to the office of the President. The whole first presidency was in the room but no one said a word but Presidend Monson. He motioned him to come sit knee to knee with Him and then extended the call to him as an apostle of the Lord. He said I expressed my feelings of inadaquecy and President Monson said, ooh yes we all know how that feels. President Monson has been an apostle for 52 years now. Elder Rasband had all of us come up on the stand and shake his hand as he expressed love and gratitude for our service. He said all the Glory for anything we do goes to the Savior Jesus Christ. We felt so blessed to be in His presense and listen to His councel. His private body guard was Ken Porter whos father and Mother and family lived with us in Puerto Rico. It was so fun to give him a big hug and see how his mom was doing, as Ill never forget when his father was shot and killed in his FBI office in Arizona and his mom called me to go over to BYU and get his sister from class and get her on an airplane home. They had just been to our house in Provo to visit (We took them to the Ridge to swim and play ) a week before he was killed. Ken was also an FBI agent for 30 years and the last four years has been hired by the church to protect our Apostles when they are out and about, especially in Spanish countries as he speaks spanish just like his dad did.. He said the sweeteness of this job now is helping to undo the uglyness of 30 years in the FBI. We are so enjoying our many mission experiences. Tomorrow we fly to Concepcion Chile four five  trainings that the mission president has lined up for us. and then next week off to Cordoba to prepare for 120 kids to come to trek. We will certainly need the Lords help.

They have been building a new big area office building here for all of us missionaries and employees. The building is done and they have started moving all our pictures off the wall here over there. The reason we dont know when we get to move in  is because the Argentine goverment requires paying them under the table to get ocupancy permits and the church will not give bribes. So no one knows when we get to move in. We went to the North mission yesterday to teach the missionaries going home about selfreliance and education. One of the Elders going home was elder Jake Hansen, Grant Thornes good friend. We had him to dinner a few months ago. He said he would give Grant a hug for us on thursday when he sees him. They can both speak spanish to each other. I just got a $100 speeding ticket that Pop wasnt happy about. They just take a picture of your car on radar and send you a bill. The last $100 ticket I got was for not having my lights on during the day. Thats a law here. So nothing has changed, Im costing your poor dad alot of money. Im going to try and do better. I do most of the driving because Pop is a better navigator than I am. with the GPS.  I better get back to work. Love each
