Sorry, it´s late!

Dear Family,
Sorry it´s a day late. When ever we have transfers our Pdays are on Tuesdays. So sorry if you waited all day for my email Mom. Don´t worry everything is fine. I can´t belive it´s already been a whole transfer. I happy that Hermana Romo and I get to stay together! Have I told you anything about her, I don´remember. She is from LA and she has two younger brothers serving missions right now too. Wow, imagine having three kids on missions at the same time, crazy! Her family is from Mexico so she is fluent in castellano, or spanish, apprently spanish is what they speak in spain, not here... So it´s great because she knows both languages really well. We get along great and have a lot of fun.
Speaking of missions.....ARGENTINA!!!!!!!! I knew it! I was thinking wouldn´t it be cool if Alex came to Argentina? and then... he is! Yeah. Congrats. I think Salta is north of where I am so more heat, but my companion says they eat more asado there, that´s grilled meat. The meat is SO good. so good.
Thanks for the emails this week, wow. Lots. I just had time to skim them all so if there are any questions they´ll have to wait till next week. It was nice to hear from Bro. Chord. Barbara sound like life is good! Mom thanks for all the up dates. Alex thanks for the news. Oh and I do get Dear Elders, they just come every six weeks along with all the other mail. So I should be getting them in about three weeks from now. Dad, thanks for the advice about Olga, we´ve tried some of that, but we´ll keep at it.
So news from here, lets see. Oh we ran into this guy, well his wife actually, but that´s along story... so lets just say we met this guy form New York. Well he was born in Uraguay, but was brought up in the states. Well, turns out he is Mormon. Well I guess his dad was somebody ¨pretty high up in the church¨I have no idea who he is, but it was a long time ago. So John, knows about the church, and we really did find him at the perfect time, he has a lot of questions, they are really good questions too. He has seen a lot of things in his life that have caused him to wonder, he´s an ex CIA agent by the way. Google him if you want, he told us to but we can´t. His name´s John Battaglia Ponte. Any way it is amazing how God puts people in our path right when they need to be and when they are ready it´s great!
Well sorry I can´t write more but I´ve got to run
Lots of Love,
Aleta

ps.Oh... So I mentioned Steven Stucki the other day to my companion and she about died that I know him. Apparently he is some kind of ledgend here. She got here like 4 months after he left and she still know who he is pretty cool huh.
pps. any food would be good, stuff to snack on. chocolate, the chocolate here just isn´t the same!

love,
Aleta
