We have mostly been working with the same investigators as last
week. We haven`t had a lot of time to work in our area this week with
divisions, branch council, and an activity. We do have a few other
investigators right now though. We have an investigator named Natalia. She
is a single mother who struggles to keep up with everything including her three
kids and work. She had a little trouble staying focused but you can`t really
blame her with her three kids running all over. We have another named C. She
will be a little difficult to help progress I think because she had a lot
against her. She is currently in an affair with some guy who lives in
Reconquista and she wants to stop but at the same time says that she likes it
when he comes over and the messages he sends so she doesn`t want to stop at the
same time. Plus she smokes and probably drinks. We have another investigator
that is really snake. We are trying to decide whether or not to keep teaching
her because we don`t know if she is just going to be snake the whole time and
not keep commitments or what. this is the second week she hasn`t gone to church
now so we will probably stop by one more time and see what she says.
We have been waking up even earlier to get to church on time and it isn`t quite as bad anymore because we know the route and how long it takes before it passes but we have had to run for the bus quite a few times. But this last Sunday we didn`t have anyone go to church :(
We didn`t end up going to the port like we were planning because the Leader conference has been moved to tomorrow so my comp and the zone leaders were here and so we played a tournament of ping pong in the church. Sadly we came in fourth place, we were doing good but then we just flat out failed at the end of the game, haha
We will hopefully be getting the money for our heater tomorrow, well sort of because my comp will be in Resistencia so we will really get it Wednesday.
We have a few stores here close. The puma is one block from our pensh but it is kind of expensive so we usually go to this really big one called Union Agricola. Before I would buy stuff from different places like fruits and vegetables from little stalls around and meat from carnicerias but here there aren`t any fruit stalls and the carnicerias are more expensive.
We do a lot of walking to get to our area and to leave it more than anything. Our area isn`t that big but we live a little far from where we work so every day we walk 20-30min to get to the part of our area where we work then we have to return another 20-30min in the night.
Today we went into a shop to print photos
and we had to wait a few minutes while they were printing them and so I decided
I would play with Photoshop and I just cut out a picture and put in a different
background and the people there were saying that they wanted to hire me to work
there, haha.
We had divisions this week with one of
the companionships in the district and I went with a Peruvian and for lunch we
ate a food called tacachos. There were really good. It is made out of plantains
that are fried then mashed up with chunks of fried fat throughout it. There are
pictures in dropbox if they all upload.
I love you all very much and can`t wait
to hear from you next week!
