Hermana Bermudez from El Salvador, and it's starting to get really cold and wet here!

Ping Pong activity.

So first off, my companion is named Hermana Bermudez and is from El Salvador.  I have no been companions with each one of the hermanas from El Salvador.  So anyway, my companion was visa waiting in El Salvador for 6 months so I am not really training, but there are SO MANY things that are so different in this mission.  But we have been doing really well together so far.

This week was super great, my companion actually arrived friday in the morning.  Everyday they told us, "Your companion will be here tomorrow.."  Then the next day passed and they said the same thing.. until Friday.  So I was still companions with Hermana Ortiz and Hermana Llave for another week.  

Hermana Ortiz is really short!

We saw a lot of miracles this week.  We were talking to one of our investigators named Estér.  She is super great, we were talking to her and everything and then she says, "yeah, my son sent me a book of Mormon from Spain."  And that´s why she had let us int he house.. because she had recognized that we were from the same church.  We talked to her and resolved a lot of her doubts about everything that was going on in her life.  We were so happy when she came to church!  Everyone says they´re going to go, but usually they don´t go.  But no, she actually came to church!

Another miracle was through the member here in Balcarce.  One of our investigators that was a referral went to church last week.  It happened to be the same day of Oscar´s confirmation.  He said that during the confirmation, he felt something really powerful.  The members were so nice to him and accepted him.  But the real miracles was how willing the members were to embrace him.  We traveled to Mar del Plata sunday and so we couldn´t be there for Family Home Evening, but the members invited him to participate with him and he said that he wanted to do everything he could and that he feels a lot different now that he´s listening to the missionaries.  Seriously, the members here are what do the mircales.

We have giant slugs everywhere!

Apart from all that.  It´s starting to get really really cold here.  Really cold.  We actually used the heaters.  The other day, it rained so much!  We didn´t even have the keys to the apartment so we could´t put on another coat or anything.  We were so wet and cold all day.  But on the bright side, it´s now the season of the pomegranates.  In the street we find Pomegranates and eat them.  It´s super delish.  

As for the slugs... they are multiplying!
