I am definitely craving
a Slurpee today so i hope you all go out and get your free Slurpee! Haha.
Argentina has been
great, wet, and muddy. Since the roads are practically all mud, it’s so fun, Jk.
But this week my companion and I have been working very hard to reactivate the
people that don’t have much of a strong faith in the gospel. The hardest thing
is everyone in Argentina works on Sundays or have an excuse not to come to
church because it’s cold, or have "Gripe". It’s like the flu, but
even less. It’s like having a headache. But I love Argentina and everything all
makes sense, there culture, the specific words they use, Ciesta! Okay, so I’ll
explain Ciesta. It’s pretty much naptime for all the people in Argentina. They
eat lunch and feel tired, so everyone leaves work and goes to bed for about 4
hours. And it’s actually a law here, that if you want to close your store down
in the middle of the day because its ciesta, its fine. Even the schedule for
kids and teenagers leave school to have Ciesta. The only hardest thing is that
after we eat lunch there is none in the streets and it’s all dead, everywhere!
Haha. But it’s okay, we still visit people and clap in front of their house
hoping they open their door. So that’s exactly what we have been doing lately!
We now have 3 new
investigators, Alicia Silva, Sonia and Rosio. All of them are references or
contactos during the day. They have so much faith and just want to have an
eternal family. I know the Lord guides us in the right direction because
without the spirit there will be no way to find Gods children that are ready to
listen to the gospel. I know Heavenly father loves all his children personally;
we just need to have the faith in him and trust in him in everything that we
do.
This week I ate a Pig
Tail! It is the most interesting thing ever, it’s like pure fat, and have to
suck on the little links of the tail to get actual flavor, it almost looks like
a spine.
Bowling for the district
activity! If you all know me I am not that good at bowling and yes I lost out
of everyone but that’s okay. Also, I’m learning how to cook, I made pancakes
from scratch and they were actually really good.
And finally, we had an
activity combining 3 wards for Noche de Hogar or Family home Evening, in English.
And it was a success; we presented a reenactment of the story about Alma and
Samuel spreading the gospel and being able to have success with the help of the
members! Obra Misional, and I played the angel. Haha. It was a successful
activity and a lot of people showed up. Woohoo!
This week has been great
and I am excited and grateful to have another traslado in Claypole with Hna
Hernandez. I love you all!
