Re: sleeping bag 13 Nov 2009
I apologize that I cannot address your specific question as to whether it would be better to buy one in Argentina or here, but please watch out for this in either location; when we bought my daughter's sleeping bag (US) we picked out a fairly high-end model because it was lighter (for carrying on the plane) and rated to lower temperatures. We selected the box off of the shelf, paid the full price, got it home only to find out that someone had taken a much cheaper model sleeping bag and slipped it in the box of the high-end model. Obviously someone stuffed the high-end model in a cheaper box and paid much less than they should have. Unless the box is sealed make certain that you're getting what you're actually paying for. Gratefully, it all worked out for us, but unnecessarily wasted time to the run-around of getting her ready to leave. Good luck!

sleeping bag 11 Nov 2009
So my daughter is leaving from the MTC in 2 weeks. I was planning on her getting a sleeping bag there in the field. Is it better to get one in the states or can she find one in Buenos Aires ???

hope this answers some of you questions! 15 May 2009
Hola Rachel! My name is McKayla Scott. I am also entering the MTC in August! So I also have three months to prepare and it is so exciting!! The sleeping bag is to keep us warm in the cold winter months, it gets pretty cold at times and there isn't much to keep you warm there! I've heard that in Argentina there isn't airconditioning or electric heaters.... So definitely get a below zero sleeping bag! It might be tough to fit that into a suitcase but you can always take it as your carry on.

I found some great shoes at Macy's. It is good to get shoes with arch support, that will last, and that you will be comfortable walking in.
They can also be really cute!

I'm not sure about bringing Temple clothing.

I'm from NH so I hear you on the clothes thing. I'm not sure if you have TJMax in your area but I found some great things there! It's important to have clothes for Winter and Summer. It gets cold in the Winter and the Summers get hot. I hope this helps!!!

Just Called 12 May 2009
Hola! My name is Rachel Hulen. I have just been called to this mission as will report to Provo in August. I am hoping to hear of some suggestions from returned sister missionaries of this mission! It's difficult enough finding shoes and shirts that won't be too hot for the summers down there. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions (I don't live in Utah, so it's even more difficult to find missionary clothing).

I also was wondering about the temple and if I should bring my temple clothing with me.

And what is with this sleeping bag business? Should I be searching for a sleeping bag to keep me warm in the winter, or will it be serving another purpose?

I am very excited to serve a mission and get to work! Even though I will not leave my home for 3 months, I have to plan ahead in order to get everything together in time.

Muchas Gracias!!

(Renee is my mother. I'm hoping to convince her to use this website in the future. It will ease her nerves to see what wonderful work is going on!)

Busco a la familia de Marcelo Villalba 23 Aug 2008
Queridos amigos de la misión: me gustaría saber si alguno de ustedes conoce la dirección actual de la Familia Marcelo Villalba. Ellos vivían dentro de los límites de LaFerrere 2 cuando se bautizaron, pero después se mudaron y perdí el contacto. Probablemente están por Rafael Castillo, I. Casanova, o alrededores. Muchas Gracias!

Stuff to take/not take 19 Aug 2008
I would definitely take a good and sturdy umbrella.

I would not take an expensive watch. If you wear it, you'll probably get robbed.

Thanks

Referral / Referencia 21 Dec 2007
How do you send a referral to the Missionaries in Argentina. I have a friend in the west mission who I've had on my MSN for 5 years and would like to take the discussions now. But I can't figure out how to send a referral. She says she sees the missionaries all the time but they never stop at her house.
(Can you imagine being the missionary walking by that house? It makes me wonder how many times I did that)

Christmas 2007, from the Moore Family 20 Dec 2007
Christmas 2007

Dear, Dear Family and Friends,

We so appreciate receiving your messages of faith, hope, charity and good works. The pictures of family and friends, smiling children and stalwart parents, of grandparents and missionaries speaks volumes. We don’t want to interrupt your holiday season nor detract from thoughts of the Savior’s infinite gift marked in mortality by his birth to his mother Mary but we do want to join you in giving thanks to Him and to Our Heavenly Father who gave us His Only Begotten Son that we, believing, might not perish but have everlasting life.

Christ’s birth was proclaimed by hosts of angels bringing glad tidings of great joy to ALL people. They brought to earth the message that would change every life, enrich every mortal moment, lighten, heal, motivate, inspire and save humanity. As time passed and men were strengthened, just as in the beginning of every dispensation, the number of angelic visitations did not cease but by right decreased. With a Peter strengthened, a Paul converted, a Mary healed, and countless others blessed, men on earth who had received Him in their lives could now do the work of angels from heaven. They could minister to a weary world, one person at a time.

This is still a day of miracles. We are the angels who will make them happen. Elder Merrill Bateman concluded his December 2007 Ensign article with this thought, "As we sing the hymns of Christmas and speak of angels sent to earth to witness the Savior’s birth in the meridian of time, may we rise to the occasion and minister to those in need in our day."

Recently a friend collected money for a sister for badly needed means of transportation. Donations were received and a used car purchased along with insurance and some money for gas. An email expressing gratitude was sent to all who had contributed. Our friend later commented, “It was an interesting experience collecting the donations. The largest donation came from a young man in his early twenties who works various ski and manual labor jobs. . .He is inactive in the church. He said he wanted it to go to someone that needed it more than he did. I was completely surprised. His donation was 1/3 of all we collected from about 30 different people.” That is not atypical. Another donor was the “poorest” of his large, rather well to do family. His donation far exceeded his situation. His life is a gift.

We recommit ourselves with you to serve Him with all the energy of our heart, might, mind and strength. We know He lives. We know He loves us. We love Him because He first loved us, for which we are eternally grateful.



Our love and gratitude to you “forever Moore,”





Garry & LaNell, Dad & Mom, Nana & Poppi, Presidente y Hermana



***This marks the first Christmas in 43 years without children living at home. Our blessed grandchildren number 34 and daughter, Kris is expecting a baby any day. Reunions and family get togethers are always our highlights. We also LOVE being together, did I say LOVE!!!

***Plans for a mission were postponed this summer when Garry was asked to continue his full time work with the Church Educational System. As the new Administrator his plate is fuller and so are our blessings and being home has allowed LaNell to get elbow deep in Garry’s Family History.

*** Garry and LaNell teach a weekly Institute Class and LaNell is an ordinance worker in the Bountiful Temple on Wednesdays and teaches Primary on Sundays.
