He's still got a sense of humour...and bad grammar...and slang!

HOLA HOMIES

WOW 

So fun week hahaha, My companion set off the alarms to the capilla (chapel), and it was sooooooooo loud!!! It was on for like 5 minutes and he was blessed to remember the pin.... All the locals in our area could hear it haha!!! Its been soooo hot this week! But also tons of rain earlier, hahaha like one minute, its chill, then boom, down pour, but like legit, one second in the rain, and your soaking wet haha! 

The work has been AMAZING! We got one of our families to church!! What a miracle!!! Church is a bit hard in Spanish. Not as hard as the temple, but difficult! I'm starting to pick up on the castellano!(pronounced cast-e-shanno - this is the term used to describe the Spanish language used in Latin America. It refers to the region of Castile in Spain-Spain Spanish and Latin American Spanish are quite different)  Yesterday, I probably ate the equivalent of an entire cow. Every cita (appointment) we had, they fed us meat hahaha! I love it, but like wow, it's a lot! 

People are so nice here!! Everyone loves talking about God and they just "amen" everything! Gunna play some ping pong today against my latino district and show them the power of Canada!  Everyone kinda goes nuts when they find out I'm from Canada. They are like "wow that's cold." HAHA 

The bugs are pretty big here. Kinda creepy, but I just don't think about it and spray Raid everywhere. I don't sleep with blankets... it's soo hot, like dying of hotness hahaha! Walmart is dope here!!  Love it!! 

Positive vibes, all around, love every moment of every day!!

OOOOH and it was zone conference!!! And of course, I gave the spiritual thought hahaha It was Doctrine and Covenants 58:27.  "Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness" So be anxiously engaged and love everything and look for miracles around you!! Everything is super tranquillo and litt here in San Alberto!! Love you all so much.

Thank you for everything.

Sooo I left the CCM finally! It was a fun 6 weeks with my district! But I was ready to peace outa there!! Met the AP's,(Assistant to the President) and then had in-field training! It went by quick! Interview with president Calquin was awesome wow he is so spiritual and such an amazing man!! and Sister Calquin, is seriously sooo funny haha!! My companion is Elder Figuroa.. working on the spelling.. Just sorta kinda figures out how to say it... haha he is great! He's the District Leader! My first area is San Alberto! It's a nice place!! It's pretty much South America to a tee.  Every Friday and Saturday they have a huge party in the streets called murga ..it's music and drums and people all ages chill and jam out haha you can hear it all night! Our pench,(I can't figure this one out...so I'll ask Michelle!) aka home, is like pretty South American. haha I love it!! A nice bed, warm water to shower and stove and sink and bathroom, even has a bidet!!!!!!! love it haha!

Misionarry work is awesome!! I love talking so so many poeple and telling them that Jesus loves them!!! They are so nice!! And yes... I guess I am pretty tanned haha! Oh lunch at the mission home was sooooo good empinatas and pizza... and legit they eat so much here. Meat every meal. I've been eating pasta and milanesa basically every meal (A milanesa consists of a thin slice of beef, chicken, veal, or sometimes pork, and even eggplants or soy. Each slice is dipped into beaten eggs, seasoned with salt, and other condiments according to the cook's taste (like parsley and garlic). Each slice is then dipped in bread crumbs (or occasionally flour) and shallow-fried in oil, one at a time. Some people prefer to use very little oil and then bake them in the oven as a healthier alternative. A similar dish is the chicken parmigiana).. but it's good. We get fed a lunch on Friday so yay but other then that we fend for ourselves!! Invited a man to be baptised and he said yup, but then the next day his wife told us to leave.. but it was still so so cool!! We have a family on date next saturday!!! So excited for them! So many dogs on the street.. love it!! So many Odis dogs (our Chihuahua at home) and big dogs. They are nice.(lol so far...) haha I name them cause I see them all the time!! Its so humid, and breathing is hard for me sometimes, but thank goodness for ventolin!!!!! hahaha Love you all!!! Keep being amazing, and love everything! I ate 2 apples this week! yay fruit!!!!!! Pics will be sent tomorrow


Love, Elder Heinzlmeir

I think I forgot to mention...when I post his emails, sometimes I need to explain things or add things and I type in blue so you'll know that's me and not Elder H.!  

Elder H. looks like he belongs in Argentina!

Out of the MTC and into the field!

Dear Heinzlmeir Family,

Starting this coming Monday you will hear from your son by way of email. We are sincerely grateful for the support that you will be able to provide him throughout his missionary service through uplifting and inspiring words given weekly. It will be a wonderful experience to observe the progress of your son, in the Gospel and as a servant of the Lord.

We are committed to help and work with your son in this marvelous missionary effort. We convey our deepest gratitude and appreciation for sharing your son with our mission.

We have attached the pictures of the arrival of Elder Heinzlmeir to our Mission together with President and Sister Calquin and his trainer. His trainer will be Elder Figuero, and together they will serve in San Alberto in the Aldo Bonzi stake.

We pray that Gods choicest blessings may be with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Hey my lovely momma!!!!!! It's been a great week!  I'm getting into crossfit and I've been doing killer workouts!  I leave here Tuesday!!!!! 

AHH SO HAPPY AND EXCITED!!! Since this is in my mission already, my mission president is picking up all of us missionaries right from here!! Cant wait to leave! And yes, football for days (I asked him if he plays a lot of soccer)  hahahaha.I'm actually really good. I'm basically a white gringo Argentinian legend.(Oh he's so humble!) The latinos freak out when I score--its funny haha! Only sprained my ankle once this week haha!! Spanish is hard... it comes out French... and I don't know French anymore... but I also don't know Spanish, cause it's French... bleh it's hard haha! 

I have to get another haircut, because apparently my president likes clean cuts... so it shall be done. Obedience brings blessings so I'm on it because I like those blessings!! And I don't know when my next pday will be so I guess just watch for an email from me!!!!!!!!! 

I picked a soccer team to be my team... they are called Racing. I get made fun of and chastised 2/47 because of it haha.. They say PECHO FRIO!!!! It's like team talk, and it's like saying "oh you're so scared to play us" kinda thing. But if you say that outside to strangers, you'll get beat up... so i'ts for friends, only jajaja. I'm going to start laughing like that just so you know jajajaja. 

My district is awesome. They put up with my craziness... but they still love me. My teachers are awesome. I love them so much!! I've realized that being out here is going to fly by and I cant wait to hug my momma again>
Tell Dane happy baptism!!!!!!
