all districts and small branches and many members are very spread out. We started our journey on November 6, and we flew to El Calafate, Argentina.
Our purpose here was to meet with Presidente Guibe the branch president and his counselor, Hermano Guiterrez. Presidente Guibe met us at the airport with books in hand to tell us what to see in this very beautiful part of the world! He was so adorable! He is the dear man with the mustache! He served in the area presidency many years ago with President Robert Wells, (who was Michael's mission president) and President Guibe was baptized by Richard G. Scott. Hermano Guiterrez is a local policeman. He was also the first convert to the church in the Calafate branch in 2006, when the branch first began………..

| The beautiful glacial lake is turqoise blue and soooo beautiful! The lake is called, Lago Argentino. It is the largest lake in Argentina. |
We walked around Calafate before our meeting and enjoyed a few of the sights of this very popular small town in the heart of Patagonia.
This is the plane we flew in on. Areolineas Argentina has a new airplane fleet and the planes are great!

| The lilacs were in bloom! I was in heaven!! There were huge bushes of these lilacs throughout the park.
Our trip to Calafate was amazing and memorable to say the least. We will never forget Presidente Guibe and his wonderful kindness. Our second day in Calafate was an extra day that we had……. on that day we visited the Perito Moreno Glacier, which was amazing…….
