So...Happy Halloween this week! I'm
glad to hear you're all doing well. Today is another holiday in
Argentina...but this time it's only for the province...every day is a
holiday in Argentina. Bless their crazy hearts. Luckily the ciber is
still open or we would be writing later today. Apparently though at 3:00PM a member is coming to teach us self-defense. Cool? We'll see...I'm sure I'll have some good stories for next week though.
This
week was...normal. Haha. We had 4 lessons with member. That almost
never happens here. The rotary is generally "too far away" for the
members especially if they don't have cars...I'll be completely honest
when I say I don't have much sympathy when they give me that excuse.
Oh...yesterday the branch president sent me a text asking if I could
give a talk in sacrament meeting about the importance of taking the
sacrament. I guess someone canceled on him last minute...so I prepared
an 8 minute talk in about 20 minutes....it went really well. God loves
his missionaries...I never would have been able to do that before the
mission...even less in a foreign language!
We
had zone conference this week. It was really good. I always learn a lot
from my zone leaders. I have two really good ones:) We ate lunch
outside... my idea! I think it's called shepherd's pie in english...you
know that thing with mashed potatoes and meat and hard-boiled eggs and
cheese? pastel de papas se llama en español. I don't know maybe it
doesn't exist in the states...don't really remember...I don't remember
anything we eat at home besides french toast and peanut butter.
Yesterday
we went to the hospital to visit the friend of a member. I really don't
like argentine hospitals...probably not normal ones either...but I get a
weird feeling inside when I'm there...luckily this hospital wasn't
nearlly as sketchy as the one in Rawson where Elder Verges was. Still, I
was very happy to be leaving!
I'm leaving from
Caleta this transfer...I think. My guess is Comodoro...we'll see. I'm
loving the sun in Caleta and getting a nice tan...hahaha. But
really... my feet already look like they did when I left rawson in
february...puuucha. Oh...and this morning my companion cut my hair...it
was necessary. The wind here DESTROYS the ends. It's depressing.
Well...that's
all I've got. Have a good week! I love you all! The church is true!!:) I
finished the Book of Mormon this week again and started 1 Nephi the
same morning...I love the scriptures! They're filled with amazing
promises, blessings, and guidelines...look for them as you read and then
learn to apply them!! :) For example...the very last verse of Alma 33
is one of my personal favorites that I've discovered in the mission:)
Well, bye.
