hey mother of mine, well i had half of an email written before the queer at the front desk decided to close our sessions for no apparent reason. that ticked me off a little, you would have enjoyed it, i was in a weird mood writing silly stuff but not now, well so ill just be straightforward this time around. so to answer your questions, right now I'm in atlantida, its a really nice place, alot more upbeat than quequen, and ter are some things like i like better and some things that i don't like very much. it never snows down here, maybe more in the center of the country but not the coast. and as of right now its still fairly warm, but you can definitely feel the cold coming, its just that perfect temperature. and this area is quite a ways from quequen, about 150-200 miles or four hours in a bus. lots of fun! lol and as for soccer i really enjoy it, its one of the only times i can enjoy myself here, so i value it alot. i guess i just need to make more times like that, ha ha.that's the only thing that keeps me going. and my mission address is the best one to receive things, so don't worry about that. ill let you know when i get my debit card. then you can activate it for me. so everything is doing good down here, I'm enjoying this new area alot, were actually getting things done, alot has happened this last week. so last Thursday just the usual, a district meeting and then the work, then Friday pretty normal. alot of walking, my comp is a workaholic and never seems to stop. its hard to keep up with him. i think that's partly why I've been a little bit down lately, i need something fun. well Saturday comes around and our investigator graciela had her baptismal interview, and the question of abortion comes up. and then she kinda had an emotional breakdown, so when the other elder came out from interviewing her she went home, she has been under alot of stress lately. so we went by to see her and the family wouldn't let us. so we went home and i cooked pancakes. lots of fun. then we went by her house again because the other elder had already set up a time for the mission pres to come by, so we get there and they still wouldn't let us see her, then the pres shows up and we tell him that she isn't available, and so he leaves, he didn't seem to happy. whatever. then we went out and made some contacts and worked our tails off, a really exciting day let me tell you. probably the worst Ive had since Ive been out. so we decided to give her some time. then Sunday comes around and we get a call in the morning that there would be some changes, my comp left to be zone leader in our area and i got a new comp. he was in necochea when i was. hes a good elder and i think we relate a little better than the last. a little bit more down paced, i like that. then we go to Bahia to drop off my comp and pick up my new comp. and that took a little bit of time. it was kinda funny, i actually knew my way home, pretty weird how that works out sometimes. then these lst two days we have been wandering the area because i don't really know the area all that well. so well see how that goes. then today we had a zone activity. it was ours and the other zone in Bahia. pretty fun stuff. so we all went to a park and had an asado, ah it was so much fun. so the other elders don't know how to start a fire for nothing so i lit them all up. we had five fire pits going, there was so much meat. i had alot of fun, and right now we are in Bahia at the Internet place. in all a fun day. so are you guys looking forward to conference as much as i am?! its going to be awesome, nothing better than not doing the daily work, getting a spiritual high, eating candy and takig notes, oh and did i mention not working!! hahaha i love taking breaks, sometimes its so hard to keep going if there isn't fun little moments like p days and stuff like this, its so much fun! well i love you all, keep it safe, oh and did you do anything about my taxes?? if you could file them for me that would be awesome! oh and some pictures of the family as well, everybody always asks if i have pics. well have a fun week!
