this last week has ben pretty crazy, its been pretty packed with stuff. so today we went to the port. you could see a little bit of the naval base. it was really fun and we bought some empanadas. it was really good, but i ate too much. then we just walked around. we found this old boat that we climbed around on. i took some fun pictures on it. so yesterday we were at our investigators house. we found this family that is golden. they invite us over to their house and they have come to church the last two sundays, we have even gotten to the dad. he is a really cool guy that works in the naval base. he said one day he´ll take us through the base and show us some cool stuff. that sounds like fun! he showed us some pics of his kids holding big rifles and pistols. hahaha. so we ate at their house last night, at first it was this plate of cube meat and cheese and olives. so im eating a peice of ham and im pretty sure it wasnt cooked. it tasted really weird and last night i woke up with an upset stomach and so i made myself barf to get it out. well i got most of it out but there is still a little bit. and its making a bunch of smelly gas. maybe i should fart in my comps face or something. lol but back to the family, so we took out some tism dates wiht them and i think it will go through. ill try to take some pics this week when we see them next. oh and we had our baptism last saturday. and let me tell younthat was a hassle. it actually cost me a bunch of money too. but we got it all worked out. so on saturday we had to go to dorrego to do splits with the elders out there. well we missed the bus that takes us back. so we had to call up this convey. its a little more personal, they come and pick you up where your at. and it was expensive. and it only took us to bahia. so we had to take the bus from bahia to punta alta. so a lot of backtracking later and we finally get to the house of our investigator. she says that she cant get baptized, and had alot of doubts going through her head. so we had to talk some sense in her, so at the very last minute we go to the chapel and everyone was there and we did the bapstim. one of the leaders didnt want her to get baptized saying she wasnt ready. but the bishop approved it all so in his face!! lol it really ticked me off when he said that. we were already at the chapel and everything. so we do the baptism and everything is all good. then the next morning we were waiting for her outside and she never showed up. so we left to her house and she comes to the door and you could tell somehting was wrong. she said that she had a dream adn she couldt be baptized, she was really scared and everyhting. so once again we had to shake out the doubt from her. we gave her a blessing for comfort. it was really weird. you could really feel a prescence in the house. for me it felt really heavy and dark. to my comp he said he felt as though someone was screaming in his head. whatever it was it didnt want us there. so after a lot of talking and some more praying we finally got her motivated to go. one thing that was really weird is that my comp straight up said that there were bad spirits in the house and he said it was the husband that brought them there. i late asked him if he really felt prompted that it was the spouse and he was like yeah, i do. really weird stuff. but finally we got her to the chapel and confirmed. the later that night we passed by her house and she was really calm and happy. after that whole ordeal i was drained. you can really feel it take a toll on your spirit. like the woman that touched jesus and was healed. he could feel the virtue leave him. somehting like that i guess. but it left me spiritually and physically weak. really weird how that all works out. but it all ended well. then sunday was the last day of transfers and one of the elders in the other companionship left and in came my best bud from necochea. so i was really happy. he seemed pretty happy as well. so in all a really busy week. oh and last thursday we went to the bank and my comp took out 800 pesos in personal cash. he decided to play a joke on the other elders and said he found a wallet on the street and it was packed full of money. well one of the elders freaked out and was like you have to take it to the police. well the joke got really out of hand and they started shouting at each other. that was really awkward. hahaha. but kinda of entertaining. well that should be all the stuff that has happened in the week. in all a very filled week. hopefully it makes for a fun email for you guys.
as for my game, just send it without, theyll charge more in customs. that and it should be cheaper by bubble wrap envelope. but whatever. ill be happy if i could get it down here, so whatever is easier for you guys. oh and i did receive my debit card and i already activated it, so dont worry about it. but do you know about when the tax checks will come?
