hey everyone
this week just flew by and i feel like not a ton happened. first of all, I didn´t get transfered so i´m staying with my comp for at least another transfer. which isn't necessarily a bad thing. but none of the missionaries that are supposed to be arriving are getting their visas, so we are short about 50 missionaries. that is a LOT. the mission is suffering a little because of that. its a problem. so i think that thats why i stayed. but i´m kinda happy that i get to stay and see the fruits of our labors. (hopefully) the other day in divisions we had an awesome lesson with 3 ladies about 40 years old. they're all friends and we talked about the restoration and the next time showed them the movie on the restoration. they liked it and are really excited to read the book of mormon. we have another cita with them tomorrow, so i´ll let you know how that goes.
Also we totally taught a lesson while this guys brother was just SO HIGH on cocain or something intense haha it was funny but weird.
To answer dad´s question, pday here kinda stinks... we literally have nothing to do. we cant leave the zone, and even if we could, the buenos aires west mission has NOTHING to do... the most interesting thing i´ve done is played pool. and that was with a bunch of latins that don't know how to play it. haha but yeah it kinda stinks that im this close to buenos aires but cant get to know the city at all. we just have all the suburbs and villas. haha so yeah, its kindof a bummer. cuz i like to do fun stuff, but no hay...
The weather is a lot cooler now, it feels like winter finally haha but yeah it kinda stinks now cuz its always cold. but what are you gonna do. my comp is suffering a lot cuz he´s literally never been cold in his life. he lives right next to the equator. soo yeah he doesn't like it much. but humid cold kinda stinks.
My shoes are holdin up ok. they dont look that nice but luckily i´m in a rich area with 75% paved roads. so they arent dying as fast. my pants are kinda gettin there though. Also tell drill sergeant Paull hi and that i´m fat and need his help in a year and a half.
Anyways this week is another boring one, next week wont be though. i want everyone to know that i know the church is true, because i have tried it, i´ve tested the promises that the Lord has given us and seen them personally happen. I know what i´ve felt and I can´t deny it. its hard for some to believe in what they cant see but just like the wind, it is something very real. I know that the spirit testifies of truth and that always is there when we live worthy and invite it in. I love this church, I know that it is Christ's Church and that he wants all of us to be members of His church. He died for us and now He lives. because of him we can really be happy. And thats why i´m here.
I love you all
