hello family, so to start out my letter i have my first baptismal date set up!! it was a cool experience, some people are just so ready to hear the word and invite the gospel into their lives, no matter their past situations. she goes beyond what we ask her to do and will tell you what it means to her,she is about 30, she has an 11 year old and has another on the way, but she doesnt have a husband, thats one thing that really suprises me is that not man women here are married but they all have a kid. even within the church, hahaha they have a nickname for this-they call it a titanic mission, where only the women and children are saved, lol. its for dec the 5, hopeflly all goes well and they remain active, thats the other thing is that many people are inactive, there is a huge list of people that are inactive in our area, so half the work we do is to try and get people reactivated. so today has been a good pday, we went to a chapel in necochea and we had the whole zone there and we watched up and ate empanadas, it was really fun, thats the other thing is that almost all the missionaries here have a whole album of movies that they have bought, ive heard some crazy stories about some of them. not a whole lot has changed, still been doing a lot of walking, so the other day we had lunch with the branch president, he is really well off and so we had alot of reall good things to eat, a roasted chicken, empanadas, salami with bread and cheese, and then this awesome pudding. almost all the food i eat is european, kinda cool. this whole place is like a mini america when it comes to stuff they like, clothes, cars, entertainment, quite frequently you hear an american song on, its nice, then i get to enjoy it also. but then with all the european culture, very frequently you greet people that you know with a kiss on the cheek, its kinda weird but its just the culture. so i done know if i have told you already but i live in this really small shack, it has a really small kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, it kinda sucks too because there is no yard to walk around in, it feels really cramped sometimes. also the cabbies here are nuts! they drive it like they stole it, there is really no traffic rules just dont crash or go through a red light, which there are many of. today we were in one and he was really crazy, we almost died like three times. so not much else, living it up enjoying this place, love you all have a good week
