Hey Mike,
How's it going? Sorry I don't have any info. on Boyer, but if you reach him, ask him to drop me a line. Thanks. I think he was my second jr. companion in Balcarce and he was a great comp. We also each had Davis as a comp. He and his wife visited us in Az many years ago but we haven't had any contact since then.
Take care!
Clare Fuller
PS Hopefully you remember me. We were in the ltm together. I was the weird one from Az.

Does anyone know how to contact the Franco family from Las Flores? Alberto y Marta? I have not heard from them in a couple years and would love to get back in touch- or at least hear an update on them!
thanks!

Attention La Plata Zone of Oct 1992:
I recently located the mission video from when my parents were visiting Argentina in Oct 1992. A portion of this video is of the entire Zone cleaning the church of Villa Elvira. Some of it is pretty funny. It is interesting to see how we all were in the mission so long ago.
The following Elders/Hnas were in the video:
ZL's: Elder Gaskin and Elder Smith
DL's: Elder Mark Christensen and Elder Chad Momberger
Other missionaries: Hna Analia Borges, Hna Sanchez, Hna Hones, Hna Hunsaker, Elder Payne, Elder Reeves, Elder Farias, and of course, Elder John Hunter.
If any of you are interested in obtaining a copy of this video. Please email me your address:
laurie.j.martz@jpmchase.com or
zephyryche99@yahoo.com
PS. The beginning of the video is of my parents and I, but the last half is of the Zone. FYI: Kinda boring in some places.
Hope all is well with you guys!
Hna Laurie Martz

I'm not sure if anyone remembers or even cares for that matter, but I received word 8 months or so into my mission that my mom's cancer had come out of remission. At the request of Pte. Vasquez, the mission fasted several times specifically for her. I wanted to thank everyone who participated. You may have found the frequent fasts as bothersome or silly, but they meant the world to me and my family. At the time, the doctors estimated that she would live another 6 months or so. My mom has been fighting the cancer for the past 6 years. She often reminds me that she is with us today due to the fasting and prayers of my mission companions. She has fought hard for 6 years and has not let the cancer have the best of her. But the human body can only endure so much. I fear she is nearing the end of her mortal life. Again, I want to thank all of you who participated for your fasting and prayers. She has since seen the birth of 4 grandchildren and she will likely know 2 or 3 more of her grandchildren before she leaves this earthly life. She has seen 2 additional sons leave on missions. She has been to the sealings of her 3 oldest sons. She is a wonderful mother and her grandchildren love her. Little do they know how great a blessing it is that they even have the chance to know her in this life. I have done a great deal of maturing since I returned from my mission. I have become more aware of the blessings in my life. I have learned to acknowledge the hand of the Lord. I know that a large part of her success in fighting the cancer can be attributed to the fasting and prayers of my missions companions. I testify to each of you that Heavenly Father heard and hears our prayers. Thank you.

My son, (serving in Knoxville, Tennessee), is trying to locate a friend from BYU named Elder Mackade Murdock. He thinks that he's currently serving in the Buenos Aires South Mission. I would greatly appreciate any help in locating Elder Murdock.
Thank you,

Does anybody know any more details about President Abad's health? It sounds like he is in critical condition.

that we can print out of the mission?

This may be a little late, but i would definitely bring a sleeping bag. not a large one, but rather a stuff bag that can handle very cold temperatures. I picked up the brand "slumberjack" which was a sub-zero stuff bag for a great price. Transporting it was easy in the bottom of the garment bag i brought with me. I stuffed the sleeping bag in its own stuff bag and then placed that in the bottom of the garment bag, it was a perfect fit and not bulky at all. as the other elderes said, bring some sheets to cover yourself in the summer to ward off mosquitoes.
p.s. i wouldn't trust the blankets that the mission provided, most of them were very worn and were very dirty. stick with the sleeping bag! :)
good luck!

Estimados amigos:
Les escribo para avisarles que el Pte Abad está muy enfermo y en fase más
dolorosa.
Hoy hablé con su hijo Gustavo y me contó que esta en la fase crítica.Sin embargo lleva adelante todos los tratamientos tradicionales con mucho optimismo.
Mi idea es que podemos orar y poner su nombre en todos los templos que
tengamos cerca, para que sea aliviado en su dolor y para que su familia
pueda brindarle su amor y esperanza de la eternidad.
Saludos cordialmes para todos.
Guido Lucas

While I was there (Dec 1981 - Apr 1983) I realized we were at about the same parallel (33rd) in Bs As Sur as that of my hometown (Ft Worth TX). Not surprisingly, the weather is quite similar in both places, except there's no tornadoes in Bs As (menos mal!) -- but yes to hot summers, and humid cold winters that occasionally drop to 15-20 degrees (fairly cold if you don't have an external heat source, like a kerosene heater, or central heat).
As far as latitude lines, this link might give an idea of comparable weather from Argentina vs. the U.S. It looks like the mission (from just south of the Capital down to not quite the bottom of the province) is about between the 32nd and 39th parallel. In the US, the 32nd parallel runs thru central texas, and the 39th parallel looks like it's as far north as southern Colorado or Kansas. So, in the same mission, depending on where you end up, you could get a fairly brisk winter. Tandil and Madriaga and Olavarria were the place to be if you liked a good cold winter. Even at the north end, in Chacabuco/Lanus Este, it was chilly.

I would definitely bring a sleeping bag; it gets ridiculously cold during the winter, and the heaters provided by the mission are pretty much useless (at least they were when I was there from 2002-2004).

I admit that it's been 25 years since I left the BA South mission, but I would think with global warming and all, it shouldn't be any colder than in my day. The humidity makes it seem cold, but it rarely got below freezing. Most of the pensiones didn't have central heat, but they had plenty of blankets, so I never needed a sleeping bag, and I always felt pretty toasty. Your mission should send you a list of what you need. If it doesn't say sleeping bag, I wouldn't bother. Your luggage will be bursting as it is.
