well i don't have anything super exciting to say this week. but we are going to have a baptism here this next Saturday. more like cherry picking. they are the kids of an incomplete family. so they have already been going to church since forever. so kinda fakies but whatever.
we have been teaching the husband as well. they just have to get married so the dad can get baptized. this last Sunday was mothers day here. its like the only country that has it a different day. but it was still nice. this inactive family came back for church. their son recently reactivated but he lives with his girlfriend. they aren't in our ward but they convinced their family to come if they went to ours. so we had most they're family there. they have twelve kids and they are all boys. they made up about a fifth of the congregation. lol.
then on Saturday we we out looking for people and we found a family. they are evangelical but they seemed fairly receptive. hopefully we´ll see some progress there. it was funny, we had to talk our way in and when we sat down the wife had some questions for us. originally we told the m we would only take a few minutes but as soon as she started asking we talked for about 45 minutes. then we lunched with a family, they really like to talk. these people here just don't shut up unless you leave. so we were there for about 2 hourssssssssqsssss. finally we left. but yeah. tons of fun. I'm sorry i don't really have a whole lot to say but that's just how it is. os dad to give you the insight on what goes on here. so most the people here are living alright. I've been in some nasty houses but there isn't a general poverty. they have an upper, middle and lower class.
most the people live in the lower middle class. those people don't have cars. but they almost always have a moped. everyone here has one. as for the streets, only the main ones are paved. more in the main city everything is paved. but alot of my area isn't paved. if you guys want to look where i live here's my address. 3 de febrero 3028, bahia blanca, we live in a town house dealio here . its actually really nice for a missionary apartment.
im sad that im going to be leaving it. maybe ill get lucky again. i still don't know where I'm going yet. I'm kinda scared that ill be staying here in bahia again. pres wants to put full time missionaries into one of the office areas. that would be kinda gay. i just want to get out of bahia and go somewhere more tranquil. that would be nice. as for food goes: for me at first it was all kinda bland. but as soon as i got used to not so much flavor i really love it. the food pyramid consist of: pastas, milanesas, asado ( not so frequent), shepherds pie, raviolis, ñoquis, empanadas, oven cooked chicken , really simple salads-lettuce with diced up tomatoes and vinegar oil and salt. i actually really enjoy that now. potato salad. some sort of rice salad with peas. and that's really the extent of it . just all the basic food you can think of.
pres just took away the siesta from us but its practiced around 2-5, these people are so lazy its awesomely annoying. but these people remind me of people from the east states back home. they act like them, its silly. another thing i told you about is mate. its that drink they're always drinking. every hour of every day mate in hand. i kinda like it. the other day i bought a mate kit. well i was thinking about sending you guys a Christmas package. ill try and burn all my pics on some Cd's and some alfajors as well. so for Christmas i was thinking you should send me some slacks and socks and some candy and toys. look for some pants about 34-34, i was thinking those heavy duty thicker material ones would be nice. and whatever you send make sures its sent light and in a small package. thanks famerilious!!!! que estén bien!!!! chau!!
