The Argentina Adventure: I always teach the GRANDMAS!


Dead Toad (for the nephews!)

Same Dead Toad

Another week of interesting things. Monday all of Mar del Plata didn´t have Police or something so we weren´t allowed to leave our house. Tuesday we traveled to Mar del Plata. Wednesday was the only day that we had all day to work because Thursday we had to travel again for the activity on Friday (which was all day). Saturday there was a Baptism in the Ward for the other Hermanas. I gave a talk and everything. It has been really interesting here in Balcarce because it´s a lot of traveling, but it is beautiful. The people here are so nice and the members are fantastic. AND, it´s not too hot here. When I say it´s not too hot, I want you to know that it is still really really hot. The type of hot where you are sweating all the time when you are talking to people that literally everyone can see the drops on your face. But the good part of everything is that they don´t care because they are sweating, too. Here, I don´t think that they have Air Conditioning in many of the homes. It is a luxury.

Finally we are starting to get a grip on the work here. It´s been a Little interesting with both being new the area, traveling so much, and not really knowing the members. We have a few investigators now that are super great. One of them is named Alicia. She is 83 years old, but her health is surprisingly well. There is a joke here that I always teach the Grandmas... but it´s no joke. I always teach the grandmas. ALWAYS. But it´s great because now whenever I see a grandma, I talk to them because I know that it´s my calling in the mission. Yesterday we stopped and talked to two grandmas for a while. They told us that they were in the city til 3 in the morning and when we asked why, one of them started laughing. Turns out that she was in the casino enjoying everything. She is 85 years old! Her health was even better than Alicia´s. But yeah, I am getting side tracked.

So Alicia... she´s super great. She goes to church all the time. She was evangelica, but she said that now that she is coming to our church everything in her life is better. She has already received her answer and knows that it´s true. The only thing is that she is afraid of the wáter and so she doesn´t want to be baptized right away. But yeah, that´s her. She´s super awesome.

Everything is going good here.. we are still trying to figure everything out and work with people. But now, we are only going to travel to Mar del Plata once a week for our reuniones so we will finally have more time to work here.

Also, like a month ago I told that there were dead Toads everywhere after it rained. Here it's more humid so there are a million dead Toads everywhere... it has become really common for me.

That´s all, love you all.
