We pretty much had a pretty crazy little week. It wasn't a great week, but interesting. It was freezing cold all week for one thing, ha ha.
Alright, well I'll start with Monday. We did a Family Night with the Branch President and his family. We did a list of people they know and had them pray and see who could be interested in the church. We took out like 20 references and so we are trying to get the family to invite these people to a church activity or something. It's a lot more likely they will go to church and such if a member invites them then if a missionary knocks their door.
Tuesday, well, we had a funeral to go to. A member of the branch died and we were to carry the casket. So we went to the graveyard. The graveyard was pretty sweet. A bunch of small houses and such. Crazy. I don't have any pictures cause...well I didn't think it was appropriate for me to bring my camera to this, ha ha. But anyway, we helped out there. Then later that day we passed by Javier and taught his sister Maria. Found out Javier couldn't read, ha ha.... Then that night we had Ward Council that went well.
Wednesday was a crazy day. We were doing our personal study at 8, when it started to snow! All the pictures I'm sending are from the snow. It snowed probably 2 or three inches. It was crazy. Since it doesn't snow here. So we went to the park to celebrate the snow. And we made a snowman in central park, which actually turned out to be a really good thing. We ended up talking to lots of people. Since they all wanted to take pictures with our snowman, ha ha. So that was pretty cool we were on the news as well, I think you can see it if you want at www.celtatv.com.ar. You will probably have to search a bit cause well its been a few days. Some members told us it was there. They interviewed us, not sure if that's there. That's was pretty crazy. After that we went and worked in the snow. It was pretty cold and wet. We talked to a few people, but we honestly didn't have much success getting in houses that day.
Thursday, we planned a lot, and we visited Fernando. He said he would go to church and well I'll tell you now he didn't, so we will probably drop him for a while.
Sunday, we had 2 go to church. Lorena and her daughter Karen went. They are investigators. Really there whole family went. They have another daughter Gisel who is baptized and the dad is as well (dad is menos activo) but they all went. It was a surprise to see the dad. He even came in a white shirt and tie! I really hope they keep coming. After church we found a less active family FLia Montenegro. Whew. They have like 8 kids..... it was really hard to do anything cause the kids are CRAZY. They have more energy then I could imagineeeeee... whew. Ha ha.
So this week on Wednesday we have interviews with the mission president and maybe a small conference. That should be great.
nota.php?id=1979 Elder Pino gave me the link to the video of us being interviewed by the guy. Kinda interesting.
Friday, I was super sick, I threw up like 10 times. I think I ate something bad... So we didn't leave the house till 5 cause we had a cita, we also talked to the missionary couple for a while. They are helping us get the ward lists in order here. They are great. Oh hey, I feel much better now, ha ha, just so you know. It was just a one day thing.
Saturday, we found a newbie, Nilda, she is really nice, but doesn't want to go to church. That was kinda frustrating. Then we talked to Javier and Maria again to invite them to church. We also talked to a older guy who can't really walk. He was really nice, but he as well didn't want to go to church. We visited flia Pareda a menos activo and also Flia Garcia, and set a cita to do a family night with them.

That's pretty much our week. Today we went to a little park. I took a few pictures you'll get eventually.
Kinda a rough week for us in lessons, we really didn't find many newbies. But that happens sometimes.
So this week on Wednesday we have interviews with the mission president and maybe a small conference. That should be great.
Anyway that's about it. We are just preaching a bit in the cold, ha ha.
From the pictures you'll see our snowmen when he is finished and when he was melted. We went back to the park a few hours later during lunch. He was almost gone.
