Lucas has a girlfriend 9/26/17

Hey  All! 

Well we had transfers and nothing changed with me, same area and still with Elder Souza. I am pleased because I didnt want souza to go just after one transfer. We get along and you just never know what kind of comp you might get when transfers come. So I am happy. We had 3 missionaries leave and 3 come. One of them is Elder Carro(from ARG) who now is in Vera... it will be interesting because I was already his ZL once and he has...... a reputation of causing problems. so we´ll see what happens this transfer...stay tuned! haha 

But this week was pretty normal. It is kinda fun having a young single adult convert(Lucas Vergarra 23yrold). JAS(jovenes adultos solteros) or the YSA group here in Reconquista consists of like 9-10 people and now Lucas has been thrown into this group. This past weekend the YSA group here traveled to Paraná, entre rios to go to a YSA dance. That is where Lucas is from, and the older brother of Lucas makes what is called equipos de Mate(look it up), which is all the equipment that people here use to drink mate. Well, his older brother sells them really cheap so I bought one from him. But when we went to his house to give him the money before the trip, we found him with a jovencita from the YSA group named Carla.... Oh the worry that Elder Souza and I had for Lucas because he is a member of 4 weeks and now he thinks he can just go off and date the mormon YAS girls. I ll be honest, Lucas is a catch; works for the military as a meteorologist, has a car, isnt ugly, is mormon... but he is biting off more than he can chew. I feel like an overprotective parent, worrying about their kid after he/she turns 16. But it was awesome because Sunday, Lucas taught Gospel Principles... and what did he teach on? his topic was ¨Marriage and the eternal family¨. haha it was perfect but I hope it doesnt get him too motivated to get married... We will try to see if he wants to serve a mission because apparently Carla is working on her mission papers..... So much DRAMA!!

Lucas "the catch" Vergarra

We passed by the familia Moreira twice this week, the first time they didnt answer the door and the second time the mom answered the door and very frankly told us

  ¨ahora no puedo atenderles, estoy muy ocupada, otro momento, CHAU¨ ** abruptly closes the door **. Which is spanish for ¨my husband heard I was talking with you and told me not to listen to you guys.¨ 

I am so disappointed because they we rock solid the first two lessons we had. And the mom was SUPER nice and intrigued with the book of mormon and the restoration.... Unfortunatly  this happens too often in missionary work, but we can only keep going. On Wednesday, we had a zone service activity where we cleaned the ¨Zanjas¨(Ditches that serve as waste and trash storage) in a neighborhood in reconquista. It was gross but super fun! 

Zone service activity

That was basically the highlights of the week. I am super excited for general conference this weekend. Should be a fun week. I will be able to pic up my camera this week at leadership council in resistencia So I will be able to take more photos and videos. I hope you all have a great week!
