hey, sorry i didn't write this last Wednesday. but this last week was transfer week and us in the office don't have pday till Saturday. but finally it has come! transfer week is usually stressful. i have to deal with all the old and new missionaries, its hard because I'm in charge of all that and if I'm not there no one knows what to do. its annoying having so many people ask stuff. especially with Latin's. they are the worst. you have to say everything like 3 or 4 time before it clicks in their heads. they only listen to what they want to hear. lol

But one thing that gave me a good laugh is that 2 annoying Mexican elders were delayed going home. hahaha. these elders really bother me and the day they were supposed to go home the travel agent called and said the Mexican airline workers were on strike. so they stayed here for 3 more days. they were so annoyed! . lol i just about died laughing when i told them. to top it off they had to take a 10 hour bus ride to buenos Aries to fly out. normally they fly there. i know I'm horrible for getting kicks out of it but it made my day. lol. another thing i hate is that seeing all the old elders makes me really trunky. i have to take them to the airport and get everything ready for them. if it wasn't for the new kids the next day i would be dead. i love seeing their faces.

so this last Friday we had lunch with a member. we have eaten at her house several times. the last time we talked about empanadas. so we decided we were going to make some. so we wen over early and she showed us how. they were some of the best i have had in the mission. now i know how so I'm going to try. i have some fotos of al this. i just put them on face book if you want to see them.

so this last Monday they cut our gas. so we have been showering cold this whole week. definitely an exciting shower experience. so we made for sure that we got the bill paid. but yesterday the other elders we live with called the gas company to have them come by and connect it and tehy said that we still hadn't paid. but they reconnected the gas anyway. its kinda funny because the guy that did it is a member. hes like, well you still haven't paid the gas bill but i like you guys and i know you so ill unlock it. but on Monday turn it off before you go and pay it.

so Monday we have to go and show them that we paid it. so finally today i was able to shower warm, but i made it cold at thee end just for good times. lol. it feels really good after your done showering. well its starting to warm up down here really nice. last p day it was pretty hot. luckily it cooled down again. but today was perfect. i was really cloudy but not cold with a nice cool Oceanside feel to it. so today we went to a park where there is a flea market. it wasn't set up completely so we left to go wandering downtown. after looking at stuff we went to McDonald's. i got myself a triple mac. it was pretty small but it was really good.

Now we are back at the office and we ware waiting for the others so we can go back to the flea market. maybe ill be able to find some cool stuff. oh, last night was pretty cool. we went on splits because my comp had to do a baptismal interview, so i left with elder frias. he was one of my old comps in punta alta and now he is the assistant. so we left for some of our investigators. it was a really good time. we taught 3 lessons. one to a less active woman, we have been working with here and her husband but he wasn't there but we talked to her and helped motivate here towards a marriage date so the husband can get baptized. the husband is really receptive and i think he will get baptized. he had a really cool experience where he felt the spirit really strong. then we left for another investigator and she was a little more stubborn, she doesn't want to read or pray. but we had a good lesson still. in the end she said that she would read. we´ll be passing by her some more. then we went to another investigators. normally we pass by for the husband because we seems more interested but boy were we wrong. it was just her and her kid( and a member of course) and we had a really awesome lesson with her.

She seemed more willing to do the necessary to get an answer. to me it seems that the husband is just listening to us just because he likes what a church does for the family. he wants his kids to be raised in the gospel. not because he wants to know the truth. just me saying but that's how it seems. well when we were talking with the wife we had a really good spiritual experience. she basically told us about her marital problems and how she really needed help and an answer in her life. she even prayed too. in all the best day of the month for the missionary work. crazy how that goes.

 well i don't have much else to say right now. but... would any of you care to send some goodies down?? i would really appreciate it. or in the words of Nicole... Who wants to be my favorite family member?? lol. well i hope you have a fun week. love you guys.
