Michael arrived in Argentina on Tuesday Morning, August 24th, 2009. After nearly 14 weeks in the MTC he was anxious to finally reach the mission field.
He was so excited, and relieved, to find his hometown friend, Kurt Hansen working in the mission home. When it was time to go out for tracting he was able to go out with Kurt. Michael was so excited to tell us that they were able to share a discussion with a gentleman. Michael gave part of the lesson and challenged the man to read the Book or Mormon. The challenge was accepted. How cool is that?!
Michael was overwhelmed at the poverty he saw as he arrived in his first area on Wednesday. He saw homes built by hand and made of scrap metal.
Oh the heat, he says its oppressive. “It’s killing me,” he said.
Well, those piano lessons he took are going to pay off. In his ward of over 300 (about 30 active) no one plays the piano. Hey, maybe his mom and dad weren’t so wacky all those years.
The bottom line; Michael is so happy and is doing great!!
