Yea, I've heard from some members that there is some pretty good tension between the states and Argentina right now. Lame. As long as they don't kick me out.
Our new mission president should be here right now. I haven't talked to him or heard anything from him. But I guess he is here. And our old one is home in Cordoba. So we will see what changes happen. They now give us more money each month. Which is great cause the inflation is pretty bad. When I got to the mission, you could buy an alfajor for 2 pesos, now its 4.50. Ugh.
So I guess I'll talk to the new president about school at in a little while. See what he thinks. I just can't come home and sit around. That would be terrible.
We actually had a great little week this week. We really just settled down and got to work. Trying to get some stuff done.
So Monday, we had a lesson with Oscar, and we changed his baptismal date to this Saturday. He said yes and agreed to stop smoking now so he would be able to get baptized. So we were pretty stoked.
Tuesday, we gave a Book of Mormon to a lady named Grasiela, and fixed a cita to pass by Friday. I'll just tell you now, that when we talked Friday, she had read a decent amount and really likes it and believes its true. BUUUUttt (always a but, eh) she also doesn't really want to change religions :( . So we are going to keep teaching her until she can't deny its true and gets baptized. Good plan. huh.
Wednesday, we found a family, flia Blanco, they listened really well and the dad said that they were all going to get baptized. Sounds great! Ha ha, well we fixed a cita to pass by on Thursday, and they weren't home, then Friday we talked to the wife for a minute, but we haven't yet been able to have contact with them. But we will keep trying. We also stopped by the church to check the baptismal font, only to find it full of water.....gross water. And it wouldn't drain, so we had to call someone from Bahia Blanca to come fix it. We also had a meeting with Elder Fee the senior couple missionaries. Which went well, we talked about trying to locate all the members on the list and such.
Thursday, Ummm we worked. I don't no what else to say, ha ha.
Friday, the zone leaders came and gave Oscar his baptismal interview! That went pretty well. He passed, ha ha.
Saturday, well it was a pretty crazy day. We invited people all morning. Then in the afternoon we checked the baptismal font, only to find they left 2 inches of water.... whew, and it wouldn't drain anymore, so we had to take alll the dirty water out by hand, clean the font and fill it up. Whew. It was some pretty good work, ha ha. Hey, but at 6:00 we baptized Oscar, so that was great. :). We are pretty happy about that. We actually had a baptism this week.
Sunday, we had the confirmation of Oscar which went well. He was doing really well.
Well that is more or less what happened this week, cut short, ha ha. We taught Oscar everyday with the flia Gomez. So that was good. I'll get the pictures of the baptism next time, we are in a Cyber without USB ports sooooo its kinda hard to send it.
We have some pretty good stuff actually going on in the branch which I probably haven't mentioned but we got some good investigators coming in, through a few members that are helping us out a lot. So next week I'll try and write you some details about some other people.
I guess this will be your last week in Idaho Falls, hope you enjoy it. That's a pretty good little town.
Alright well I am sorry I don't have much to say this week, my mind seems a bit blank. Actually, I just have lots of things going on, so I'm kinda distracted. We got to much to do in the next little bit. My companion and Elder Pino go to Bahia Blanca tomorrow for visa problems. We have some problems with our house light bill, cause its 400 pesos for 1 month, which is a lot. Since we aren't ever home, ha ha. That and we got lots of lessons to prepare in the next couple of days. But busy days are good days.
So I hope you enjoy packing and such. Have a good week. Choose the right.
Love,
