heeeeeeeee eeeey!! ‏ 9/29/10

hellos everyone. its that special time again. sooooooo to start off this week. today we went downtown again to go lookssss for some stuff. well i needed to get some new flippy floppies cuz my other ones broke. so i have been walking around the apartment like a resource child so i don't have to walk around barefoot. so i found some cheap decent ones and now I'm happy. then i we bought some super delicious alfajors. I'm thinking that ill send you guys a Christmas package with some yummies in it. nothing special but if i had my way the whole world would try and alfajor and some dulce de leche. then we bought some delicious mentos. watermelon is tasty. then we went to the civil register to see if our Argentine documents were in. but since we are in Argentina things like that just don't happen when you want them to. so we took a bus back home. then i ate some empanadas. then i took an enjoyable siesta. then we came to the office . so i have been here for a coupe of hours. so no surprise the mission is going to see more changes with the the schedule and tons of gay stuff. they are moving p day to Mondays in a couple of weeks. not exactly sure when but ill let you know.

 so yesterday we tried to go teach a lesson. we even found a member to go with us but the perwon decided not to be home. i felt bad for the member because he is "special". he was all ready to go in a white shirt and tie. hopefully well have an appointment that doesn't fall through and he can come.

 so on Minda nothing exciting. recently president thought it would be fun that i take the mission dats. so we went in early to the office and for about four hours i was taking dats and entering them in and making them all pretty. after that i felt mentally drained. so after lunch i fell asleep on the couch. on Sunday i had to give a talk. i called out the members for not doing their part. i don't like doing it but sometime i feel like if no one does it they wont even try. what can i say i was just the same. but its al good.

 I'm liking my area alot. i feel like we have the support of the members or at least they see that we are trying and accept us. i wish they would find us people to teach but whatever. so Sunday we also went to a baptism for some other ward. Saturday was a long work day and we taught a few people. one with Julian (the conference man) he doing just as tough as ever. today i was reading in the bible and i read the parable of the talents. 3 men receive a few talents and the first two invested theirs in the bank but the last hid his. when the reckoning day came the first two had doubled their money and had great satisfaction in the masters eyes. but the third hid his and didn't have anything else to give back. it reminds me of this particular investigator. he is really hard headed. the type that thinks that you can only have so much spirituality. but this scripture openly explains that we need to develop our gifts so that way they produce more. if only he knew, oh that silly man ... its all good though he´ll burn in hell one day.

 well Friday we passed by some people with a member. it went well. this one family, the Roche family. they are always nice to us and give us something to eat. but they have been inactive for years until we showed up. we got the daughter activated. shes coming every Sunday now for the past month or two. i have noticed a big difference in her as the time has gone by. she has had a big spiritual change. the other day we found a family friend of theirs so we brought her over and we taught the restoration the investigator was really attentive and then we asked Belen if she would share here testimony. it couldn't have been more perfect. over time she has had a lot of questions about religion and stuff and she is starting to realize that she can find the answers in the BoM. she also talked about the importance of going to church. you would have though she had been going to church her whole life. but yeah.. .it all turned out well... so yesterday i finally got a letter from Matt. it was fun to hear from him. its about time too. it made me really trunky thinking about the good times before the mission. hopefully its better after the mission. i guess we´ll see right? well just some random memories.

 so i don't think i told you guy these. the lst week we were walking to an appointment and this guys tops in his car and opens the door and greets us. hes like. i really admire you for the work your doing. and shook our hand and then left. it was a cool experience! then another day we were walking to the house and this crazy guy on his bike stops and hes like "" heeyyyyy ammiiigos!!" he looked hammered drunk or just extra special. but he had hi arms out for a hug so i went in and shook his hand instead. i was like how you doing bro?! hey we gotta go now but you keep it real!! not exact words but something like that,, hahaha. it was pretty funny. well ithinks that about it. anything new exciting fun cool.??' id like to know. gotta go!!!! have a good week, seeeegrissssst
