Hola familia!
Okay I will
start with your questions:
Question:
It was about a charge on his debit card.
Yes the 160
was a fee that they made me pay to get on the plane but i found out when I got
here that I didn’t need to pay it. The mission refunded me with 833 pesos so I
will just use that as my personal money for a while.
Question:
How is the food? What kind of stuff do you guys eat?
The food is
really good for the most part. BEEF all the time and it’s amazing. No pasta
like we thought. I have eaten a few weird things. small intestine and blood
sausage so far. but I like almost all of the food. No spicy food which is a
bummer.
Question:
How does the Spanish there compare to what you heard in NC or from the guys in
the kitchen at Joes? :)
The Spanish
is a little different but mostly because of their Castllano accent. (I miss
Joe´s a lot...)
Yeah that package
sounds great. Honestly maybe a few things of ramen haha
Coley great
job on making the choir! that will be so fun and you will make so many new
friends. Congrats!
Okay so now
for this week which flew by!! We have been working super hard and we taught 25
lessons this week which is a ton! 11 of them were with members present so that
is super cool. we get a lot of support. We are going for the mission standards
this week which would be awesome!
We have an
absolutely golden investigator named Pamela Fierpo. She has a baptism date for
the 4th of May and she is so awesome! From the beginning all she wanted was to
keep learning more and more. She reads the BoM and watches the movies that we
give her. She is a pro ballerina and she owns a studio so we went there and
left a blessing on her studio and it was really powerful! She came to church
yesterday and the first thing she said was ´´I just wish it was next Sunday
already´´. We are super excited about her.
We have a
baptism this Sunday after church for a little kid named Joaquin. He is 9 and is
a total stud! His sister just recently came back to church after 4 years and
got a calling into the YW program so that will be great for her.
We met a lady
this week who literally talked about 150 mph. From the second she started
talking I was just left in the dust. We haven’t been able to go back to visit
her yet.
I gave a talk
in church yesterday and it went really well. After my talk the bishop stood up
and gave me a very nice compliment and talked about the gift of tongues. It was
a little intimidating to speak in Spanish but it was good.
My foot was
hurting all week. My arch supports kept moving around so finally I just taped
them onto my insoles of my shoes and that has helped. but it was hurting my toe
because my arch was in the wrong spot. I also had to pop a few blisters this
week which was a big feat for me ;)
I got kinda
sick on Saturday while I was on an exchange with the Zone Leaders. We think it
was mostly lack of water.
There are so
many dogs here it is unreal! Most of them are super gross and I would never
touch, but the ones that are pets are super fun to pet and play with. I had one
fall asleep in my arms on its back like a baby would right in the middle of a
lesson!
We are
teaching two ex pro soccer players right now. One played for Newell´s which is
a big team here in Rosario!
Sorry for the
lack of pictures. I will try to send what I can but i am in an area that we are
not allowed to take our camera or phone with us. But I will take as many as I
can I promise.
I love you
all so much! I hope everyone has a great week!! Thanks for all the
support!
