I can recieve packages here as long as they are sent to the mission president home. Been a busy and long week of contacting, teaching, reactivatihng, and planning. Big problem in argetina is people getting legally married because the cost and paper work, working on this issue with three couple/family investagators. So our baptizm dates are set pretty far like a month or so if they get the things done ASAP. Did alot of service this week too, cleaned out this room that had all the constructuion materials in it from when being completed, looks great now. also for a couple who just moved we helped them move and also cleaned up and cut their lawn an other day. looks really great as well. Not to much to new or excting this week but if you have any questions or anything just let me know

I dont think the size matters. Should send some peanut butter and syrup Also you should me a picture album of the fam and stuff. And the weather has been kinda chilly some days and other days it remains me of a AK summer. Yestarday it rained for the first, not fun when it rains here because they really dont have storm drainage, plus the dirt streets either flood or get extremely muddy. Oh dang, but hey bats keep away the bugs so you all should make a bat house outside and also to keep the bats out of the house haha. Language is coming along great; understanding like 80%, still alittle diffucult to contstuct sentences. Yeah the peoeple are pretty receptive to the gospel.
They
Have a icecream place here called Grido and it is delcious and pretty
cheap 70 pesos for a kilo. Some things are really expensive, but yet
again we dont get to much money either, food is pretty cheap here. We
get about 1700 pesos, equivalnet to like 190 dollars, every month. The
area im in is Arguello in Cordoba and its about 20-30 minutes away from
central. Our area is has 4 elders and we split the area in half. There
is 2 wards in our church building which is the stake center. so the
mission presdinet and his assitneces attend the other ward. On a good
day we have about 130 but yestarday was 93 ;( Yes i can see the
mountains, they are kind of in the distance though

Been a crazy and awesome week. In the beging of the week we had
Zone P-Day and we played all kinds of fun games and watched libro de
vida. We are allowed to watch animated movies on P-days here, like
disney, dreamworks, etc. At the end of the P-day we did a zone
companionship exchange for a day, I got Elder Souza who is from Brazil.
He speaks zero english, but it was a really awesome 2 days with him and
speking total espanol. Me and my Comp gave several blessing of healing
this week, a little difficult with the language but everything takes
practice. We had a batptizm this past Saturday for C, Which was
great! At at Cyber where the computers doent have a spot for my sd or
usb port so i apoligize for no pictures this week. I love the smell of
the panaderias (bakeries) here when you walk past them or go inside to
get some delcious bread or facturas. Also i love the kioskos here, which
is just a window of some ones house, and the have literally a little
store inside of food, cleaning stuff, etc. knock on the glass or clap
and the you tell them what you want. We have right across the street
from the street from us and another two houses down the street that also
has spot to buy fruit, veggies, and eggs.
Ether 12 and Moroni 7 are amazing chapters that i read this week in my personal studies.  |
