Skin infections and paperwork

This week we started off with the Leader Council.  Pte Franco taught us a lot of new stuff for the mission. Mostly he focus on the "He is the Gift" video that the church is having us share. That is our focus for this month so we are sharing that a lot and we had training's and practices about it during the meeting.      This week I have had a skin disease called impetigo and it was horrible. Luckily I called the enfermera and she told me to get a cream and it is starting to go away.      I went on divisions with Elder Ratliff this week and it was a lot of fun!  I think that it was maybe my favorite divisions that I have gone on.  We are good friends and we had lots of stories that we were sharing and we have been organizing how we are going to get together after the mission.  We’re saying that it is too bad that we didn’t know each other before.      We had our zone meeting and shared everything that Pte Franco shared with us to the zone. It went well just a little long because our zone is HUGE. It is the biggest in the mission with 24 missionaries.      Today we had to go to Corrientes to do paperwork called rehabilitation. That makes it so that we don’t have to wait for five years before we can return to the country!  We will be able to return when we want to because of the long paperwork process that we did today.  Poor Elder Fiabane and Elder Karmanov have to go and do those papers all the time and it is a long and frustrating process.   We didn’t get to go to McDonalds.  I didn’t want to call President for permission and then also if I went to McDonalds and then I would have to take the bus back and it would have made the trip a lot longer and more of a headache.  Instead, I left with elder Fiabane in the truck and it was a lot simpler that way.  It would have been a big headache with trying to get back and us up the rest of my Pday, when I can eat real food in a little over a week.      Next Monday is a normal Pday but then at the end we have the zone Christmas activity. Tuesday we will go to the office at 10:30 in the morning and we will have some training's.  I heard that there is a marriage training, haha.  Then we have lunch and interviews with Pte Franco. Then that night we will have dinner with him and Hna Franco. (I heard it is lasagna). Then we will fly to Buenos Aires and stay there basically all Wednesday.  The church has discontinued the Temple trip because too many missionaries were missing their flight home. That afternoon we will take the plane to Atlanta, then to Utah and I will get home at 10:30am!  I think there are 17 in my group to leave if I remember right.      This week we are going to try to go caroling with the zone.  Also next Monday we have the zone Christmas activity.  We are going to try to do divisions this week too.  We have papers to do so that I can come back to Argentina without problems J

I love you guys very much and can’t wait to hear you guys next week and better yet, see you in a week and a half!!!!!  Until then!
