Well what has been going on recently here is that we have
been trying to bring our area back to life it is still dead and we are lacking
investigators and no one has gone to church in the last two weeks. I am excited
for transfers even though I like my companion and lots of things about my area
I want some change because I am ready for a change but I shouldn´t say that
because I will probably stay here :P
It has been starting to get hot here but we have only hit
about 38 degrees Celsius and haven´t reached the forty’s to fifties. I don´t
remember what is the conversion to Fahrenheit. I will soon have to buy a
sombrero to wear every day so that I don´t fry, jaja
Right now our only investigators that I would say have real
intent would be Miguel and Lucia and Alejandra. Miguel and Lucia had a
baptismal date for this Saturday but didn´t go to church yesterday because of
health problems of Miguel. He has been having really bad headaches and stomach
pain. That with being blind makes it hard to get to church. Alejandra we met
this last week and she said that she was going to go to church no matter what
even if it rained(not even the members go if it rains). But when we went to
look for her she was sleeping and the dad answered and instead of waking her up
keep trying to tell us to give up on her because she won´t keep any commitments
and that he knows her so just give up. I found that at least a little strange
that she won´t keep commitments since she has been reading in the BoM....
needless to say we won’t be giving up....
There isn´t a whole lot to say about what has been going on
lately because for the majority of the time it is just clapping houses and
having people say that they are catholic and don´t want to listen to anything
we have to say because they already know everything about our religion. Today
is exactly my eight months in the mission or one third. Elder Santoro said that
this is the very hardest part of the mission.
Oh, I don´t know if I ever told you guys but I got my ring
back. It turns out that it was the people who were working on our floor. One of
his assistants was doing something in the bathroom and didn´t want to knock it
off of the toilet so he put it in his pocket then he just forgot it was there.
But anyway I have it back!
It is crazy to think that I have two cousins that I have
never even met! It is weird to only have seen them for pictures! It is also
crazy to see how big everyone is getting!
Barbara has a kidney stone and might need surgery do you
know any tricks to help them pass I know Lindsey had several and maybe has some
suggestions.
As far as the Toms that you and Emily said you wanted there
are no Toms here. There are only the original things called Alpargata that look
like Toms but aren´t that brand. I don´t know if that is what you guys wanted
but that is what they have. You also need to tell me you shoe size in metric if
you want me to buy them for you guys. Also I want the shirt size of everyone if
you could send that.
I am trying to take pictures of around here but it is
dangerous to have things like cameras and phones out so I am doing what I can.
Also there really isn´t any good landscape here in the city except one part
that is the most dangerous of our entire area, jaja So I will try to get
pictures but I don´t know how well it will work with where it is at.

I also have a secret desire that I will get transferred to a
faraway area because the collectivos play movies when you travel far and I am
dying to just sit down and watch a movie especially because the other day some
investigadores were watching Transformers and didn´t turn it off when we came
so we were fighting not to watch it but I would be lying if I said we didn´t
watch at least one scene :P
It is crazy that general conference is almost here. I can
remember the last one when I was in California and I still watched it in English.
It will be really weird to watch it in Castillano here. I hope that I will
understand all the words that they use :P
I love you guys more than anything and can´t wait to hear
from you next week!
Asher:
That is funny that Asher says now everyone will speak “his
language”, jaja but there is one problem here we don´t speak Spanish in
Argentina, we speak Castellano, jaja and Harmony´s sister (Got her mission call
to Buenos Aires Argentina and leaves January 15th) will speak like a
Portaño with the ll sounding like sh while here in the north it is more of a
juh. but you can tell him, Cuando regreso podemos hablar solo en Castellano y
Español. A menos el puede entender lo que digo y el puede ser me traductor
porque no se si voy a olvidar todo mi ingles mientras estoy acá. Y puedo
enseñarle a hablar Castellano porque solo hay chicito diferencias como el
sonido por los y´s y ll´s y usamos vos porque tu no existe en Castellano.
