Zone Conference, Argentine gates and walls, Beautiful homes, and an Elder car!!

Greetings once again!  I'll try to update you on what has been happening way down south.  First of all, we had a special zone conference (a zone consists of about 14-16 missionaries) and this conference was a combined one with the Catamarca Zone and the LaRioja Zone because Elder Foster of the 2nd Quorum of Seventy was visiting.  Here are some pictures from that meeting:

 On the front row:  Elder Foster, Sister Foster, Sister Salas and President Salas (mission president).

                                   The Lawsons with the Fosters.  They're wonderful people.

                              We found an Elder car!  How nice of Toyota to make one.  :o)

                                  Gates and walls - privacy is very important down here...

Our assigned area is very humble but as we drive throughout the city, we've found some beautiful homes and thought yóu'd enjoy seeing some of them.

A wonderful family we're working with in the ward is the Manuel Chayle family.  They're in the process of building on to their house - a bedroom for the 4 boys and a kitchen.  This is the beginning stage of their addition:

Manuel, with the help of his 2 oldest sons, has made every single one of these cement blocks.

Ariel is a great helper!

Finally, we couldn't end without showing you this car we parked next to at the grocery store this week.  They have many new and modern cars but we also see lots of older cars.  We especially liked the red stripe on the side of the car!
