how is it
going?
This week was
a lot of fun! But a little slow on the missionary work side of things. We had
our multi-zone conference like I mentioned last week on Thursday. We left
thursday morning at 6am in a shuttle with the whole zone and got to
resistencia at 930am. The conference was super good and fun. President patania
is a lot more number based than pres. Franco. There is definitely a difference
in the mentality and way of going at things between the two. Pres. Patania
talked about breaking trends and trying new things to see what works. But in
our respective area of Reconquista 1, we are lacking a little and the work is a
little stagnant. I am hoping that we can get some productive days in to
jumpstart things again. We passed by the moreira family again this past week
and taught lesson 1: the restoration. And it was super good, in the sense that
the mom was super attentive and paying attention. She understood everything
pretty well and understood the invitation to read, ponder and pray. So we will
be verifying with her to see how she is feeling along with the rest of the
family. But they are the most progressing right now in our pool. We were
finally able to find Yolanda and her family. They are the young family that
lost their 18 month year old due to heart complications. It has been hard to
find them because after the funeral, yolanda lost it and they had to go live
with some relatives that live in chaco. But this past week they came back so
that their 2 boys(brain6 &alan8) wouldnt fail out of their year of school.
But we talked to yolanda on friday, and it was so sad to see how much pain she
is in. She is on medications now to control her emotions and depression,
but we just shared with her the Plan of Salvation and gave her some things to
read from Joseph Smith regarding the death of little kids. Then on Saturday we
went to their little humble house and helped her husband pour concrete floor
for and extension they are putting in to their house. That was pretty fun to
mix the concrete and level everything. Then on Sunday they came to sacrament
meeting as a family. It was so nice to see them there.
In the
multizona, Pres. Patania talked about the use of computers and clarified the
rule that, if the branch president calls him to give him permission, then the
missionaries in that branch may use the computers. So we got our branch
president to give us permission to use the computers. So luckly, we are no
longer writing in cyber cafes. On our way back, we passed by walmart, and there
I bought, microwave popcorn, doritos, tostidos chips, skittles, and some other
stuff. But they didnt have salsa so that was a disappointment. Today, for lunch
we went to the más lujo restaurant called ¨el cruce¨. They had waiters and
everything. I ordered costeleta de cerdo which was basically a slab of prok
chop(155pesos) that was super good. and I got it with a side of fries(55pesos)
and a 350ml coke(35pesos). It was a little expensive but then part that made me
mad was I ordered a desert that sounded so good. It was called isla
flotante(55pesos), which literally is floating island. The waiter said it was
really good. So I got that and then they brought it out, took a bite, and it
was glazed with a coffee/alcohol cream. I was so mad, alcohol? in a desert?
come on! That was my experience today.
But that is it
from Argentina this week. I hope you all have a great week!! Love you!!
