Cakes, breads, and more cakes.

We put a lot of fruit in my coat.

Super good week this week!  Miracles.  God answers our prayers in funny ways sometimes and uses people that don´t want anything with the gospel.  

1) This week we have been praying for a coat.  It´s been starting to get cold here in Balcarce and my companion did not have a coat, let alone a jacket.  She was going to go to Peru, but here in Argentina it´s a lot colder.  Anyway, we were sitting with an investigator named Carolina that really does not want anything.  We were talking to her about everything and she told us upfront that she didn´t want anything.  We were sad because we didn´t know what to say.  And then she looks at us and says, "I know this has nothing to do with anything, but if I gave you a coat, would you use it?"  We pretty much just started to cry in this moment because my companion has been needing one so badly!  It´s so true that God can answer our prayers through other people.   

Here's the fruit I was carrying.

2)  Last monday, it was the end of the month and we had no money left.  We had problems with the card too, so it was delayed with everything.  We didn´t even know what we were going to do for breakfast the next day.  We were walking home talking about what we were going to do.  Then we started to talk to a man in the street.  He did not want anything to do with the church or anything, but after a while he said, do you guys want to come in, and pointed to his bread shop.  We had enough money to buy some sweet bread for breakfast so we were going to buy some.  Then he says, "Do you like this kind?"  and he starts putting a bunch in a bag.  In the end, he just says, "this is a gift from a friend even though you will never see him in the church."  There are so many awesome people in the world.  I just love it.  Also, God ALWAYS takes care of us.  So really, don´t worry about us here because we are very well taken care of.

Sweet bread from a creepy man.

Other awesome things happened this week, too.  For example, we were talking with Juan Carlos the other day and we taught him the word of wisdom.  We were a little scared because he drinks and smokes and we thought it would be the last lesson that we would teach.  But what happened is that he absolutely loved it! Then he went to his calendar and said, "hmmmm we can do my baptism May 24"  

So yeah, we didn´t even say anything and he put his own baptismal date.  So we are super excited for that!

Funny Stuff:

Here in Argentina, nobody wants to get married.  BUT this week we found FOUR people that wanted to actually get married.  The only problem is that they wanted to marry US.  So yeah, I got proposed to 2 times and my companion 2 times.  But don´t worry, I don´t think that they are my type.

I live with 3 latin sisters that know little english.  But sometimes they like to speak to each other.

A piece of cake.

 They really don´t know much and so their conversations are something like, "Hello.. How are you...okay.. GOOD.. and you?  Okay.. GOOD NIGHT. I like.  Okay."  I can´t really explain it, but it´s pretty funny!

Also, there are so many products that are from the United States that they use and they just say the things with a spanish accent and they think that it´s a spanish word.  For example, white out says "Liquid paper" on the box.  But when they say it with their accent, it´s actually like Leaky Pay pair.  It took me a while to figure out what they were trying to say.  They don´t know it´s english.  That´s the funniest part.

Anyway, that is all.  Love you all!

A diseased hand . . . I have no idea what it is.
