A Warm Welcome from a 9 Year Old

 Luke said that it was so sweet because someone they went to teach had a 9 year old that made him a necklace and a little note that said "Thanks for coming to make a happy family."  What a sweet sentiment.  it warmed Luke's heart and he said he'll keep it forever!

 Natalia, Luke's adopted mom in Corrientes, threw a birthday party for Luke.  I don't know if the tradition is if you are leaving they throw food at you or if they do it if it's your birthday.  All I know is that he got blasted with food.  :)  They went all out for his party and took his baby picture and used it on a little banner for him and for the party favor bags (or maybe they were gifts for him, I can't tell)  Here is my correspondence with Natalia... how is sarah Sorry to bother you, we are preparing everything to celebrate the birthday of our beloved Elder Rose. he doesn't know anything it's surprise We are very sad because Tuesday is gone Oh my goodness you are too kind!

Ariel Ramos te fuiste primero dejando un vacío enorme en nuestra familia. Pero lo teníamos todavía a Luke Rose , y ahora que se va nuestros corazones se rompieron en 1000 pedacitos.

Goodbye Corrientes - Luke's first transfer and one last baptism

 Luke had a great birthday celebration and goodbye party all at the same time.  He had some tearful goodbyes with all the amazing people he served around.  I'm so thankful that he had such a great experience in his first area.  And what a way to end his time there....he had a baptism on Saturday before he left!  I'm so excited for him!   Now on to Santa Fe!!!
