In Evan's e-mail this past week, he wrote that he couldn't believe that his two years on his mission were coming to an end. He has 6 more weeks before he is through the middle of October. He thinks that he will finish up his mission in Tierra del Fuego. Then he will fly back to Buenos Aires just before he leaves the mission on October 17th - that is unless they aren't flying planes into TDF due to the Chilean volcano, and Evan has to take a 48 hour bus trip as some of the other elders have done when they were released recently. Evan is shown here wrapped in the flag of Tierra del Fuego, on the cliffs of Cabo Domingo, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
One of the things that Evan learned how to do was to make gnocchi, an Italian pasta. There are many Italian immigrants in Argentina so Evan's cooking reflects this influence.
Evan is in Rio Grande on the Atlantic ocean, which is about 2 hours from Ushuaia. He would take his zone to Ushuaia on a p-day and they would get to see some of the sights (penguins, glaciers, guanacos, etc.) on the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia.
In Rio Grande, they hadn't had a baptism for over a year when Evan arrived there in March. Then they had two baptisms back-to-back in June. More importantly, the wards in the city started doing things together and the people seemed to be more involved in the church.
Evan and his companion with Lucas, shortly before his baptism. Evan said that Lucas is very anxious to go on a mission when he turns 19.
Evan with two of the members of the church that he has become good friends with.
The high temperatures for the past several months have been in the 30's. Evan has said that this area reminds him of Alaska.
He said that it is cold but also that the wind blows nonstop. He sent this picture to show that the ice crystals (icicles) form horizontally due to the strong and constant winds.
This will be a story that Evan will tell his grandchildren I am sure. Someone told him that if you boil your white shirts, then they will become whiter and stains will disappear. Well, he boiled them and forgot that they were on the stove - he said that the smoke in the apartment was so thick that they could barely see. The result of this misadventure in laundry is shown below. . .good thing he is almost done and doesn't need too many white shirts.
