1. Is your
pensh more equipped now?
2. Tell us about
your new area. I looked it up on google and it seems like a city in
Resistencia, kind of like how Taylorsville is to Salt Lake City.
Yes, it is just like that. We are just outside of the
city of Resistencia. It is nicer here and less poor. The roads sometimes have
gravel here and there are a few more that are paved. The big thing that you
have to keep in mind is that the richest of the rich here would only be equivalent
of the lowest of the middle class in the states.
3. Have you
had any luck finding people to teach since you were left with none? The Elder’s
in our area call that white washing.
Yes, that is what it is called whitewashing and also
training so whitewash training. We were left with no one so we have been
finding our own investigators to teach. During the last week we have had 20
nuevos but right now only eight of them still have a baptismal date. I think
that two or three of them should get baptized!
4. Tell us
about your companion where he is from etc.
My comp is Elder Travis Clemons. He is from Highland
Utah. He was serving for two transfers in the Carlsbad mission, haha He served
in Escondido and his trainer there was the comp of Elder Fe in the CCM. That
was pretty funny. He loved his mission in Carlsbad, and has a hard time letting
go of things from there. He loves to work. Before his mission he worked and
hung out with his girlfriend. He is cool but at times it is hard to find things
to talk about but we usually find something.
5. Do you eat
with members every day?
Yes, well pretty much. It has been interesting trying to
get the members to understand that there are two calendars and which days they
need to fill out. The Branch president wants us to go to every single member in
the ward and half of them live very far from us in the other Elder’s side of
the branch. It takes a ton of time and we have to buy colectivo tickets both
ways basically every day.
6. Are there
more places to shop or eat out?
Yes, there are a lot more especially in Resistencia
Centro. There is even a Walmart there.
7. Do you
still see dogs everywhere?
Yes, haha there are dogs EVERYWHERE. I have heard that
all places except the states has dogs everywhere because they don`t have dog
catchers or pounds.
8. So now you
are part of a branch… did they give you callings or more assignments?
Umm, I don`t think we will here because it is a very
large Branch. It is almost a ward now the only thing that it lacks is a few
more active priesthood holders.
9. Are you in
a little nicer area or is it still really poor?
It is a little nicer. I don`t think you really could call
any area here rich but it is definitely nicer than in Formosa. I think that
Formosa is the poorest providence.
10. What has been happening this week?
This last week has been a little crazy with some of the
things that have been happening. One thing that went down what that our toilet
is retarded and doesn`t work. So what happens when a toilet doesn`t work and
you have nowhere to do your business? Well you find out that plastic bags work
rather well for a substitute, jaja. The only and big problem there is disposing
of the waste. We also don`t have a basket in front of our pensh for garbage so
we had to put the bags in other people`s baskets. We also didn`t want people to
see that it was us putting bags of waste in there baskets so we did it sneakily,
jaja.
I love you guys and can`t wait to hear from you soon!
Have a great week!
