| That is a lot of pesos! |
I have plenty of money not to worry.
We just got our monthly allowance of $900 pesos but I was fine on money anyway.
I just have wanted to withdraw some to buy souvenirs.
This week there has been a lot less
rain. It only rained twice and now the mud is starting to dry up and we have
dry ground, which means no more boots!! My feet were getting sore and putting
on regular shoes was amazing!
This week has gone pretty good for
the most part. The best things have probably been that there is starting to be
dry ground, 3 investigators at church, end of the transfer is coming up, Elder
Santoro and I had fun making a plan on how to make me a secretary/AP for the
mission and have been working on that, haha. I want to because I think it would
be fun and he always wanted to be one but never was so he wants to help me
become one almost as a dream never quite realized that he wants his son to
accomplish. Some annoying things have been that I got sick this week. I had
some stomach pain but I called Hermana Heyman and she told me the medicine to
get and everything is better now. Also we didn´t get our baptism this week :(
I promised to tell you more about
Formosa. Formosa is the capital city of the providence of Formosa. Our zone is
one of the two highest baptizing zones in the mission. Formosa is the newest
providence in Argentina. Lots of the inhabitants come here from Paraguay
looking for work. Here at the very border where we are that is especially true
and the problem is that they aren´t finding the work that they are looking for.
With that in mind the living conditions here are the lowest in Argentina. The
very poorest people usually are the poor people that cross the border from Paraguay
and they only speak a language called guatani. It sounds really weird and I
don´t understand it at all. Since we are in the city there are several large
roads running through our area. We have a decent sized river that runs through
our area as well called the Vermejo river. Our area is possibly the very
smallest in the mission. The common foods of the area are milonesa, fideos,
empanadas, and variations of those with pasta or rice. All the food here has a
very similar flavor. Lots of people live in houses called viviendas which are
government bought houses that they give to the poor people to live in for free.
Because of that the houses all look the same. All the neighborhood houses have
sanja (exposed sewer) on either side of the street and the road is dirt.
I have wanted to do some fun things on P-day but
there isn´t anything in our area because it is really small. Also Elder Santoro
only likes to sleep on P-day if we have extra time.
Ricardo the father of a member here
was listening in on one of our lessons that we had at their house. After we had
shared the lesson and prayed he said that he was interested in learning more
about our church and why his kids want to and actually go to it. So he is going
to try to go next week! We have also set up a family home evening with his
family and the bishop´s tonight! Right now we are struggling trying to get a
hold of Diego. Either no one has been home for two weeks or they all of the
sudden have decided to stop seeing us because this is week two of not finding
him. We really want to because he is ready to be baptized! Besides that we are
working on all new investigators and hopefully some of them will start progressing!
I love you guy’s soo much!!

What do you think did I relate it to the scripture?
