Hello everyone nice to talk to u this fine afternoon!

things are good here just counting down the days until were on  a plane cant wait!

So the other day my comp and i taught/ showed an example to the new missionaries about how to start a lesson and get to know them and then we were supposed to tie a spiritual part into it. we taught in front of about 200 to 300 new missionaries and they gave us those sweet microphones that they clip onto NBA players during games and stuff, i so wanted to be like "Going for takeoff' how nba-ers do and stuff into the microphone! and i also thought it would be sweet to pretend like i was Marv Albert 'From down town'
our investigator /actor was wearing a NY Giants jersey Eli Manning so i brought up nfl and he said how the lockout was going away. then he talked bout how he used to have these missionaries come over and one of them could cook really well and then he asked me what my best dish was hahaha and i said "Peanut Butter and Jelly" people were laughing it was a good experience

thank u so much for the packages they are awesome the slippers, bouncy balls, i think that i will break out that small hoop on the plane like at 3 in the morning and get some pick up games going hahaha

its going to be weird to actually be in the real world cuz i've been in here for what 8 to 9 wks and it'll be a big change where everyone is lds and everyone is happy and stuff to the outside world, i'm soo excited to see some people and interact with them instead of just saying "oh where u going on ur mish" etc i cant wait!

thank u for that phone card thingy i'm going to try and figure it out haha ill try to call as much as i can, its not a distraction to me its where i can get advice and talk to people that i love, will alyssa and scott be there or should i call them separate to logan i have alyssa's number so i could call her. idk when in SLC ill call once i settle down and everything is ready i'll try and call so 4 am be ready haha

alyssa asked a question bout if fams when they drop off there kids from like bama or tx if they drive from there state...i've seen some texas cars ID Colo but if they are farther than tx they usually fly then rent a car

Spanish is going alright i still don't really get it i can understand some sentences but i can't talk haha i just can say words but it'll  come no worries i just need to work hard get better everyday

the girls are probly having a blast in girls camp

is there any fun games u can play on a 12 hr plane ride, i hope i get a window seat!

i'm so ready for this new adventure coming up just think a week from now i may be eating cow nose or sumthing awesome, i cant wait to just meet the pple and embrace the culture and stuff

i hope i get a native companion that doesn't know english haha
someone was saying there's a wal-mart in bahia...its funny pple always say ''my bro girlfriends dad went there and they...'' stuff like that and they'll say how they say argentina is and half the stuff they say are mostly lies haha

i still pretty much know nuthn bout Bahia Blanca cuz i want it to be a surprise haha

some elders are saying how it won't be that cold and stuff hahah silly it'll be freezing

so jimmer got to play golf with charles barkley that is awesome haha and he finished last that is sweet haha

well i know this church is true and i know that the lord wants me in argentina and to speak espanol. it is kinda a scary feeling if u think about it too much...i don't know espanol idk a lot, but i know the lord needs reggie roberts in argentina and imma take that and run with it and do my best. i have no reason to be scared - the lord isn't setting me up to fail.

i love y'all
see u in ARGENTINA
Love Elder Roberts
