Lets see what we got this week.
This week we have seen a lot of success and miracles.... for other areas. It seems like just about every person we teach lives in another area that isn't ours. We are teaching two college students who are a pure gold, but live in a different area. So we basically received a reference from other missionaries to teach a girl who is going to college here. So, we called her and agreed to meet with her here in the offices to teach her. When she showed up, she had brought her friend who is also studying here and we were super excited. We talked to them and asked where they are living and they both said in other places, but its easier to receive the lessons here because they are here during the day from school. So, we start teaching them and we have a super awesome lesson and they basically tell us they want to be baptized. We set baptism dates for them for the 22nd of September. I think we will keep teaching them, but they have to assist the church in their own areas and get baptized there too. Hopefully if they do get baptized we will be able to still go to their baptisms. We've also had some amazing contacts in the street that have ended up as amazing references for other areas, but hey as long as they all get baptized, it doesn't matter who found them or was teaching them.
Besides that, things have been pretty normal here. President has been have been having interviews with all the missionaries here in the offices and basically everyone has come out crying, so president continues being pure power. Elder Salerno bought 40 hamburger patties from Costco, so we have been having fun cooking up hamburgers and he eats at least one every morning and night. On Monday morning we went to presidents house for our staff meeting and there was waffles with whipped cream, so after not having whipped cream for 10 months i got to finally indulge.
Today for p-day we went to an Argentinian store that was more just like a room in a building. We drank something called mate that is a a traditional drink from Argentina. It was basically leaves, sticks and dirt in a cup with boiling water. Elder Salerno told us it wasn't against the word of wisdom, so we just took his word for it. It was pretty gross, but the cups and straws are pretty cool so maybe i'll have to drink it again in the future. Elder Martinez, one of the APs, tried to cut my hair in the morning and he got about half way done when he realized that he lied when he said "I know how to cut hair." So, we went to a haircut place and got it looking pretty normal. We also contacted all 4 of the people working there and they all want to hear more about the church. But surprise they don't live in our area, they just work here.
Sorry i feel like i've been slacking in my weekly letters. I'll try to make it better next week even though i say this every week.
Adios
