July 9, 2018 Trying to catch the blog up, sorry the dates are off ; )
Well, Argentina’s Independence Day
celebration is today. They celebrate it with soccer and empanadas. We ate a ton
of empanadas and I have played soccer all day! haha. I freaking love soccer! We
went to a place and paid a dollar each and we played soccer on a turf soccer
field. We are allowed to kick the ball at the goal but we weren’t supposed to play
against each other, but we ended up playing against each other.
Next week is transfers. I think I will be staying
here and our mission president has already said that Elder Velasquez is going
to be leaving the area. Elder Velasquez knows elder Soza, he has been friends
with him since childhood. That is funny that Dylan knows Elder Soza’s parents. That is
awesome that you got to go to Dylan’s homecoming. That is cool that the missionaries that
serve in your area came and shared their testimony’s in your Sunday School
class, mom.
So, my week started on Sunday
night, we traveled to Resistencia and we did Elder Valasquez paperwork there on
Monday and Thursday. The whole week we stayed with the zone leaders there in
Rio Negro and we did divisions with them. It was fun to see everyone in the
office again. I miss the office but I am glad that I am not there anymore.I
like being out in the field so much more. When we got back to Clorinda we got
back to work, but as far as working in the area this week, not much happened. It
rained a lot this week so no one was in church and it was really muddy
everywhere. Here the dirt here turns into clay when it is wet, so it sticks to
everything!
We are still working with
those six kids we met and we are going to see if we can get one of them to
progress. It was really cool to give my first baptismal interview, also a
little stressful because you want to make sure they are ready for it, but it
went well.
I actually sent Elder Dial and Elder Wilde to
A. in Formosa, we are going to see if she can get baptized.
Hey! Elder Afane and I started to teach that
family in Esquina! I am glad that they were baptized! They had already been
investigators a while back, but we picked them back up when we were there. That
is awesome!
I was a little sick this week
but it has passed now, our pension`s owner lives next door to us and when we
went to pay our rent, he was watching the Russia vs. Croatia World Cup game and
he offered to let us stay and watch. I wanted to so bad, but we can`t Haha. We
just told him, no. I will tell C. that you are proud of her , mom.
As far as for our country’s 4th of July
celebration, I wanted to tell you that I miss the ward breakfast that we always
have there, it is soooo good! I’m glad everything went
well for your fourth of July celebrations!
Thank you for praying for me,
always, I really appreciate it. I will send you some pics. I love you so
much. You are the best!
Elder Triana and me, he is an
elder that I have known since the first day of the mission. I stayed in a hotel
the first day with him. I did divisions with him all week. My desk and study
area, in my pension. Our pension, it is up on the top floor.
So some Colombian dudes offered us Colombian empanadas this week. When he brought them out and I saw them, I was like that looks like an Arapa, which is something my dad ate on his mission in Venezuela. I asked them about it and he said that it is the same dough they use to make arapas and that they actually sell arapas also from their house. They were sooooo good! I know that dad ate a lot of arapas on his mission. These were Arapanadas, Haha. And I loved and this “El Gringo” sign, Haha. (Gringo means a person, especially an American, who is not Hispanic or Latino.)
