Well its a normal p day again.so not much has happened since I last talked to you on Saturday. today we got the zone together and played some sports, soccer and Frisbee. i was sliding everywhere on the grass because my shoes have no traction. so it wasn't as enjoyable. i like playing on the concrete. then i bought a giant chicken sandwich and some 7up. I'm actually still drinking it right now. so before that we took a bus to centro and my comp bought an old Polaroid camera. that kid just likes to buy crap. hes worse than i am. i actually have a harder time buying stuff now that I'm in the mish. its probably a good thing. mostly because everything here is expensive. so its like getting the bad end of the deal when two bad things are there. like that game dad likes to play... "Would you rather have a toenail souffle or a rocky mountain oyster?" hahahahaa either way your screwed. lol. so last night we had an interesting lesson. so we are doing contacts out in this ghetto hood. i start talking to this girl that comes out and i don't think she was even paying attention to what i was saying. she was like¿¿¿ what??? so i told her again, he we have a message that we would like to share. can we come in. so she was like yeah i guess. so we walk inside and there is her whole family. i swear all of them were smoking.


so we start talking about what we do as missionaries. and the mom is like anti religion. she says, i believe in god but that's it. i don't believe he blesses anyone. because he has never blessed me. very typical thing to hear. i like to think its because they are Argentine but worst of all Latino. that's like a double whammy.. super prideful and jealous. very self centered people. not all but in general that's how i picture them. well we talk and talk and talk. finally we were able to give most of our message. she is just looking for excuses to bag on the common church. luckily we aren't the common church, and we were able to defend us. so it gets on the topic of tithing and shes like that's not in the bible. so right there i started losing my patience with her attitude. and of course it does talk about it in the bible. so i was like.. woman i know exactly where it says it in the bible. so i pulled it out and showed her. shes like no no no no that's not the right Bible. i was like tey are all the same bring me yours and ill show you!! lol it was kinda funny, her daughters were there and they were more on our side. it was kinda funny,... mom mom they re right. lol so in the end it all came out well. we were able to challenge them and leave them with a book and a part to read. looking back on it all its still weird. hardly anyone will let you in just by knocking on their door. in my whole time here knocking doors i can count them all on one hand. which kinda sucks because sometimes that's all you can do. but whatever. i just cant wait to shake the dust off my shoes when i leave the city.. like that scripture. or maybe if i cursed them 42 she bears will come out of the woods and eat them. lol. no that would be a sight. so Sunday we had lunch with the bishops family. i think we are gaining alot more respect here. which is good. there are alot of problems with this ward. its going to take a lot of time. and that would sum up these last few days. hopefully a little more interesting. sssssssooo,,,, how are you all doing? sounds like your having fun with the barf bug. i always enjoyed that. luckily I've only had it once here. well let me know how its going. love you all.
