After I wrote my email last week, we went to McDonalds and I ate a 20 mcnugget combo and it was soooo good. Then we went bowling but i did really bad... I bowled an 80 and Elder Leytton bowled a 104 so yeah it was bad.
Last week I had my first Asada. it´s basically a really big BBQ. We had it at this member´s house one night. The meat there was freaking amazing. There was this one sausage the members and the other elders (there were 4 of us) made me try. It was pretty good, until they told me what it was. It was a sausage made up of onions, beans, and the main substance was congealed blood of a cow. It´s called a Sangre Salchicha or blood sausage. It was really weird thinking about that in my stomach. but I´m still feeling great which is good.
I bought a grapefruit yesterday at a kiosco. It was freakin amazing. The fruits here are waaay good. So the food situation here is pretty bomb. Also, the coke here is really great too.
It´s been a little cold here the past week. It gets a little chilly outside which I´m used to but another thing happens.. the dogs get super on-edge. We´ve been approached by gangs of dogs a couple of times but if you reach down and grab a rock or just pretend like you´re grabbing one, they normally run away. But yeah we were pretty close to getting attacked lol. los perros saben la verdad.
We have 3 investigators right now. The first is named José. He´s really old, and knows a lot about the church. We keep inviting him to baptism, but he doesn´t want to commit to anything right now. Our second investigator is Pedro, who is basically athiest but he´s pretty open to things. Tomorrow we´re gonna teach him, we´ll see how it goes. Then we have a Catholic woman named Carmen who smokes a lot but is a little interested in our message. We knocked on her door just to set up an appointment and she was smoking and the second she saw us she tried to hide the cigarette. It was pretty funny but yeah.
Anyway yesterday was basically a holiday for Argentina, it was river v boca futbol. Basically like the super bowl. These are the two best and biggest teams, and they are huge rivals. People always ask what team you´re on haha. My team is boca, because Elder Leytton is my dad and he likes boca so haha i don´t really care. But we had to stay in the pension all day after church yesterday. We called a member at 9 last night and she said boca won 1 to 0. you could definitely tell someone scored, because we were studying and all of the sudden you could hear cheering yelling and crying haha. and after the game was over I could hear a bunch of gunshots but yeah it´s just the culture and futbol haha. We´re gonna go play some futbol after we´re done writing, I´m pretty hyped.
Other than that I´m feeling really great! I know that with patience I´ll be able to get through the first stages of this mission. I´m learning a lot everyday, including Spanish. I can´t wait for the day it becomes an automatic thing yanno? then I´ll be able to talk to anyone and it´ll be pretty great.
It´s a goal of mine to read every scripture throughout my mission. I am almost done with the book of mormon which is pretty cool. Hopefully I can do it. I am also reading the missionary library, but we have plenty of time to study every day so I think I can do it!!
Anyway remember I´m praying for you all and it this place and people are awesome!!!
Love, Elder Anderson
