There are toasters in America?!?

     We had a great Thanksgiving dinner.  It was very delicious!  It was a little rough cooking the chicken because we bought it and it was frozen and we didn’t have time to thaw it... haha. So we started cooking it and it cooked half way through but the center still was raw so we took the outside off and started eating that part while the center cooked.  We cooked some batata with the chicken and it was good!  It was just me and my comp for dinner but I have been told that we are going to have a zone Christmas activity.  The only thing is that I don’t know if that is while I am here or not. Haha

     We have not been able to get any new investigators as of yet.  None of them are any closer than they were before.  We are working with them but I don’t think that there will be any baptisms here before I go.  At least in my area.  

     You asked what I will miss about Argentina.  What I will miss most is the people that I have met here.  I will also miss alfajors they are really good and cheap. 

     What will I not miss most about Argentina?  Well let’s just say that this list might be a little longer... sanjas, the smell, the lower quality of everything, and things like that... haha  There are so many things that I remember exist back home every once in a while and I am amazed that they exist. Haha. The other day I thought of the fact that we have a toaster... those don’t exist here.  Even if they did it wouldn’t be very useful because when you talk about bread here it isn’t the bread that you buy at home.  It is more like a roll.  You can buy the bread like at home but it is really expensive and I will enjoy having that again as well.  Then that makes me think that peanut butter here is SUPER expensive and that it just isn’t the same as at home.  Yes I do miss carpet very much but what is even better than carpet in itself is that our roads are paved so the dirt doesn’t get kicked up everywhere and cover the houses inside and out with dirt and makes it so you can’t take your shoes off inside because everything is really dirty all the time.  But carpet, paved roads, and clean houses all sound like something amazing that just doesn’t exist here. haha

     This wasn’t a very eventful week really.  We had divisions for an afternoon one week and I went with Elder Fraiser from the office.  It was fun.  I really like all the elders from the office they are all really cool.  I did an interview for one of their investigators while I was there and that was fun.  She is really prepared to be baptized. 


     We have been showing a Christmas video to everyone lately that is called He is the Gift.  If you haven’t seen it, it’s on christmas.mormon.org  It is really good and it is fun to do something a little different.  I don’t know if I ever told you but the last month or so we have also been sharing a video that is about a family who each member goes out and shares the gospel in their own way during the day.  It is a good video and has given us a few references.

     I love you guys very much and can’t wait to hear from you next week!
