Latrodectus (Very venomous)
Argentina Boa
Dear Family,
So this week has been pretty crazy so far! We met with the
Visa reps yesterday and we had to do fingerprints for our Visas. They are VERY
strict! We had to make sure our full square fingerprint was on the paper, with
no smudges and not touching the line. If that didn’t happen the visa would be
rejected and you could get a permanent reassignment. Luckily the lady said mine
were perfect. (Quick side note:
The lady who took Cameron’s fingerprints used to live in our ward and we heard
that he is doing well and seems like he is really enjoying himself.) Today
we met with the consul and talked about Argentina. We were told not to talk
about religion to him or our Visa would likely be denied. They made the consul
sound like this old angry guy, but he wasn’t. He was very nice and we all asked
him questions about the culture and areas.
We were told that our Visas would be two to three weeks
minimum and have been commonly taking a month. We are hoping ours will get here
in time because if we get sent to a temp assignment we have to stay until the
next transfer which are every six weeks. We are hoping that even if we don’t go
on our dates that they will keep us in the MTC for a week or two to see if our
Visa comes.
I really hope that I get sent straight to Argentina but it
will be just my luck that I will probably get a temp assignment and two weeks
past transfer date our Visas will come and so we will have to wait another
month to go to Argentina!
When we were talking to the consul he said that the tap
water is good everywhere but Resistencia. He said that he would shower and
brush his teeth but not drink the water. He also said that there are snakes and
spiders in the North (Resistencia) area. He said that when we eat meals there
it is polite to keep your hands on the table and rude not to.
I hope all is going well and to hear from you soon.
Love, Elder Pickle
