HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD! I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE THE BEST DAD IN THE WHOLE WOLRD AND YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND! I LOVE YOU AGAIN.
I sent an email to you guys last thursday about me getting to Buenos Aires okay but I guess you never got it!? Esta bien (thats okay) haha I'm proud of my Spanish. But ahh I miss you all! and I will write you every P Day (Thursday) it was really cool though how many people came up to us in the airport and asked about where we were going and all the stuff. I realized you really have to make sure you are never doing anything stupid because someone is always watching you. The companions I was with were super cool! and we talked pretty much the whole time there. But we didn't land in Atlanta until 8:20 pm and we thought we were going to miss our flight to BA! But the flight to BA was delayed so it was all good! I met pretty much my whole district at the airport in Atlanta and there are all awesome! When we landed in BA it was crazy no one spoke english and there was no one to pick us up because we got in late. So we just wandered around the airport trying to get directions but it was hopeless. But then about 45 minutes of just wondering around a woman came and got us and took us on a bus thingy to the MTC. So that was a crazy first experience of being in another country.
So, moving on to the MTC, the MTC is a pretty cool place, we get to play basketball and soccer everyday for 2 hours! It is awesome! And it really helps relieve the stress of trying to learn a new language. Which by the way I feel that I am learning spanish really fast and I can kinda understand what people are saying because that is all I hear all day! The hard part though is just trying to think of something to say back to them. Our district tried to have an english fast yesterday and lets just say it was the worst idea ever cause we ended up pretty much being a day of silence, I gave up at lunch and started speaking english again because being silent was putting me in a bad mood haha.
So now about the food. when I first got here the food was okay but everyday it tastes better and better!! It is funny because here they have this BBQ sauce here that is amazing and I put it on everything! I put it on my bread, I put on my meat, my rice, my salad, and my fruit. Just kidding I dont put it on my fruit, but I put on pretty much everything.
So my favorite day in the MTC is sunday! It is so spiritual and it is a great way to just get your mind off all the stresses of being in the MTC. Our Misson president is honestly the most powerful awesome guy ever. He has such a strong testimony and love for the gospel and I love hearing him speak and teach! On sundays you just feel happy all day and grateful for all the things you have. And I just want you all to know how grateful I am for all of you and for the support and love you have shown me. I love you all so much and I do not know what I would do without you guys. You already know that I want to try and make families I teach to be as happy and loving as the family I have, so thank you for writing and please keep writing because I love hearing from you guys and all the stuff going on back in the States. Oh and I realized my english is getting worse the more I learn spanish! Oh and I ll tell you all about my companion next time because he is pretty funny, well at least I think he is.
Con amor, (with love)

On Zach's way to Buenos Aires, a stranger stopped them and took a picture. He sent us this photo and message:
Your sons are doing awesome! I saw them on the plane and thought I would send a picture so you would feel okay! I would want someone to do the same thing for me when my son goes. They said they love you and are doing soooooo great! Congrats on sending great boys out there on the front line in God's army.
