October 29, 2012, La Calera


Dear Family,

How are you? I am well--it has been stressful week! We've been working
with a less-active family, the children of which want to be baptized,
but, they didn't come to church this Sunday. We'll keep trying--we
expect the (newly instated) Saturday soccer activity to help them be
more comfortable at church.

I've attached a photo of how the Córdoba temple is going, and a sheet
from a 2003 MTC grammar book which explains 'el vos' -- it's generally
used here instead of 'tú' as the familiar 2nd person form of address.


Love,

Elder Schlachter

I fixed up a bicycle for Levi at the beginning of the summer thinking
that it would be good for him to get in shape to manage one on his
mission — unfortunately, I don’t think he has ever ridden it.  I will
soon be putting it away in the shed for the winter.  How much do
you travel on bicycles in your mission?

It depends on the area--in our mission the areas that have bicycles
are generally smaller towns or cities that don't have much public
transportation. The only area where I've had a bicycle was Villa
Dolores; Leones was small enough not to need them, but neighbouring
Marcos Juárez and Bell Ville did had them.
