There are always funny things that happen with motorcycles because everyone has one!

The Zone.

So Argentina is still going crazy here with the world cup!  The kids are in the street with their jersies pretending to be Messi (a player that everyone adores here).  And they scream a lot.  But it´s really fun for us because it´s just everywhere and it´s what everyone likes to talk about to.  So yeah, that´s what´s happening.  We had some pretty cool experiences.  It´s starting to get really cold and the other day we were walking around to see if we could talk to people in the street.  There was NOBODY!  We saw a motorcycle coming our way, and I say in my head, "maybe we can talk to them" (really sarcastically) and then the motorcyle falls apart in front of our eyes and pulls to a stop.  Turns out there was a just a little part that came off and so they couldn´t drive anymore.  It´s funny because we ended up talking to them for a good while while they were waiting for their friends to come help them.  God answers our prayers in really funny ways sometimes.  But we found two awesome people from that experience.  But there are always funny things that happen with motorcycles because everyone has one.  Sometimes you just see a family of six (yes, I have seen that) on one motor scooter running to the store to get some groceries.  It´s really ridiculous and really dangerous!  But we always see some funny things with them.  

Oh, the other day, we were eating some meat with some people and they ask us, "Do you like it?"  "Yeah, what is it?"  "Horse." So it turns out that yesterday we ate some good horse meat.  So now, I have eaten the neighbor´s pony.

This week has some ups and downs.  On Monday we traveled to Necochea to stay there until wednesday for a zone meeting.  We got there and Hermana Rodriquez was there!  She got transferred to our zone and it was great because we lived together when I was in Bahía Blanca.  She updated me with some news about my previous area.  Turns out that Teresa, one of my converts, passed away in March.  She had cancer and was suffering a lot, so when she told me I was a bit relieved, but it´s still really sad. 

But that was my week, thanks so much for the emails!  Love you all!
