I still don`t know when my release date is going to be. The
normal date is December 30th but President has approved moving it a few weeks
earlier so that I will have time to get ready for school. The English test is
for the Latinos. It is a test that they can take that if their English is good
enough they get a scholarship or something like that.
We finally got our money this week. We were finally able to buy all of the things
that we have been lacking since that we arrived. We didn`t have some really
basic things like a broom, toilet brush, more than one fork, etc. We finally
now have all those things. Our investigators are kind of bad right now... We basically have killed all our investigators right now because none of them are progressing. No one went to church this last week even though they were committed 100% to going and somehow didn`t get there. We are going to have to do a lot of tracting and it won`t be fun but oh well, that is how it is.
I have been studying in the Book of Mormon a chapter at a time and I read Alma 32 today.
The coolest family is the Family Gonza. Two days ago we went to their house and ate empanadas for dinner and it was really good! They are probably the most active family here in Avellanada as well. We have been taking the daughter with us to go teach Beti and Leo but I don`t know if we are going to keep teaching them or not... The mom, Sonia, says that she will add you on Facebook and let you know what is going on here, but I don`t know how when she only speaks Spanish. I think she uses google translator or something, haha
It should get warmer in a month
or two. It has been pretty warm recently but according to some weather thing on
the missionary portal it will be a cold week...
I don`t know why the stupid
computer doesn`t want to read my SD so I don`t think that I will be able to send
pictures today...
This week we were on divisions
because my comp had to go to Resistencia for the leadership conference. The
other elders here in Avellaneda have recently been approved to ride bikes out
to the campo or translation would be field. I have a lot of pictures but I
don`t think that I will be able to put them up today. It was a lot of fun. It
was the first time that I rode a bike in a year and a half. It was pretty
uncomfortable though because it was really small for me and the stupid seat wouldn`t
stay tight and it would have to pointed end sticking up.... not fun. And since
it was so small it made it impossible to stand and ride at the same time.
We had the multizone conference
and now we know all the mission rules that have changed or really you could
just say that haven`t changed... we can`t have zone pday activates, we can
watch the mission videos like finding faith in Christ, etc. but you already
could if you just called president and really nothing changed at all...
everyone was very sad about that.
This next transfer there will
be 26 new missionaries arriving in the mission and 19 leaving. There will be
several new areas opened and a ton of trainers. 21 of those missionaries are
elders. Who knows maybe I`ll have another hijo.
While I haven`t found a Frisbee
here in Argentina I came across a patch of luck. There was an elder here who
left his Frisbee and no one takes claim to it so I did, haha it isn’t in the
best condition but it is ok.
Well I have to go. I love you all very much and I can`t wait
to hear from you next week!
