Packs of stray dogs on every street.

We are in the city of Formosa. Our area is Circunvalación II (Spelled something like that). For here it is considered a city, but nothing here is the same, jeje most of the roads are dirt. Our apartment is in the back of a member´s home that lives here and it is not very nice, jeje pero it´s all good I knew that everything was going to be different here. I forgot my memory cards to send pictures so I will do that next week with the apartment and everything. It is crazy how many dogs are roaming the streets here. There are probably 20 on each street. The baptisms here are bastante more. There are 150 each month in the mission while in my last mission we were shooting for the lofty goal of 235 for the first half of the year. 

My new companion is great, his name is Elder Santoro. He is from Buenos Aires. He speaks mostly Spanish but good English as well, but we mostly just speak in Spanish anyway. (one annoying this is that president makes all the persons arriving to the mission do training weather they had done it before or not which means another hour of companionship study basically watching the district every day, yuck) I understand the people for the most part but it is really different here. The people use different words than in the states and they speak really fast. When they are speaking slower I understand just about all of what they say but the words that are specific to this country/zone. 

For meals here we usually have a small breakfast. Then for lunch we go to member´s homes where we eat huge meals. We have had mostesa twice which is like chicken fried steak and that is with things like eggs, potatoes, French fries. We have had Asado which is really good meat that has been bbqed essentially. I think that has been all our lunches so far and for dinner we buy stuff at the store which is really close and make things like pizza. 

I haven´t seen any cool animals yet because I live in the city but I have seen more dogs and cats than I ever have in my life and a couple horses and chickens in the streets. 

Laundry we do by hand in the shower/bathroom (which is inside the house! I had heard they are usually outside the house).
