Merlo until September!

Recently Ben wrote saying they were going to the city for transfers. When he wrote again he told us that he and his companion had not been transferred. He also told us that he will probably be there until September. He said that Elders usually stay in Merlo for three transfers. He is excited! He loves the people of Merlo as well as his companion.


Here is Ben in front of the Branch Building. He lives in a little apartment on top of the building.

It looks like this may be the mode of transportation for some. What a beautiful horse!
The scenery in Merlo is beautiful. Here is Ben in front of one of the many waterfalls.

Ben is even venturing to try new foods. This is a rather appetizing picture of cow intestines they prepared and ate.

I'm not sure if he knew what he was getting into. :) I love his face in this pic! I remember when he would be picky at home, I can't believe he at this!

May 25th is a holiday in Argentina. I think this is some of the food they cooked and ate as part of the celebration!

Ben even made friends with the local dinosaur!

Another beautiful waterfall!

Another great view of Merlo! :)

I will try to update again soon! Until then please write Ben! He looks forward to mail and I don't think he has had much to open lately! His address is posted on the right. He says the Gay Lussac address is the best to reach him at! Also you can write to him using www.dearelder.com if that is easier. But don't forget to actually send him something every once and awhile! :)
