A full week of fun

This week was pretty great, super fast, and awesome to say the least.

Still, our investigators are really slow. But we weren´t doing a lot last week to help that. Elder Leytton told me during our Weekly planning that in his last area he didn´t really work that much and baptized a lot. So he thought that would work here, but he´s starting to realize its not the same haha. So this week we have a lot of goals to find people and do our best this week. But yeah we talk to members a lot too, and we have a plan for ward council because the members here do nothing to help so it´s a little hard. But yeah, we´ll have some investigators hopefully progressing by the end of the week.

On Tuesday we were teaching some english to people and the sample sentence was The man eats fish, but he does not like it. which says El hombre come pescado, pero no le gusta. Then we asked if there were any questions and this member named Beto (he´s a deacon) raised his hand and said ¿Si él no le gusta, porque está comiendolo??? which means, if he doesn´t like it, why is he even eating it haha I just thought it wa pretty funny.

The other day we were at la familia echequarai eating and politics came up. Hermana eche. asked me if I like Obama and I didn´t really care, but I told her a lot of people don´t really like him. And she goes ¿porque es negro? haha cause he´s black? she was joking but it´s crazy how racist the people are here. But oh well, I thought it was funny too. and this family has the best lunches, it´s an asado every time.

Tuesday I broke through with a great accomplishment, I can now solve a Rubik´s cube. That´s right, Nick. We were visiting Elder Lafleur and Elder Later (the other missionaries in our ward and district) and Elder Leytton stole their rubiks cube and taught me all the tricks and stuff that night. It was really hard for me at first, but after practicing a little in the nights I´ve become okay at it. My record time is 3 minutes and 14 seconds. nick you better watch out hahaha.

I also got my first Argentine haircut. It´s basically shaved really short on the sides and longer on time, like soccer players haha but that´s fine. hopefully I´ll be able to send pictures but this computer is a piece of crap so I don´t know if I will be able to today.

I have finished the Book of Mormon already and I´m in section 26 of the Doctrine and Covenants. It´s awesome studying the scriptures, and I actually look forward to studying now. I´ve found some pretty awesome scriptures along the way for investigators and myself. So yeah. read the scriptures and your day will go a lot better!! That´s the truth!!

Today´s P Day festivities included cooking our own asado. It was awesome. Elder Leytton has some experience so he taught me. It´s basically finding the fattest meat at walmart, starting a fire until it´s coals, (we cooked it in the backyard of elder lafleur y later´s pench, it´s huge) and then putting the meat on a oniony grill and basically making sure it doesn´t burn. We also hit up Guaymallen (by Mendoza) and went bowling. I got a 108 but Elder Leytton finished with 156 haha but I beat Elder Lafleur and Later so yeah.

This week is going to be a little different for me, because I will be traveling to San Luis to do some visa work. San Luis is about 6 hours away by collectivo (bus). On Thursday night I have to report to the offices in Godoy Cruz Mendoza, and then at 2 in the morning ill leave to San Luis. I´ll stay there until saturday doing paperwork, idk, but yeah. There´s a lot of missionaries going with so it´ll be cool.

Moroni 8 verse 3

That´s it I believe. And how bout them Utes, of course when I´m gone lol but that´s soooo sick what happened. Have a great week, make sure you watch conference too, it´s gonna be awesome!!!
