Well my first week in reconquista is over. And Rick is right, the fact that I am now in a place where there are sisters does indeed mean that it is nicer. That´s why there arent any sisters in the ibarreta zone. But it was a great week. It has been more of a different week because I had to follow my companion everywhere and rely on him because I obviously dont know anything about this place. It has been the first time i´va had to do that since my training 14 months ago. But I am slowly getting to know the people. I even got to flashback a bit because when we went to resistencia last thursday for leadership council,and we had to stay in Fontana, my first area. It was so weird arriving and sleeping in that apartment again. But anyway, last wednesday night, we got a call from Elder Ordoñes(from ecuador), who is training elder Giforos(from utah) in our zone. The both of them have never been in the area they are assigned to this transfer, and so when they arrived to their apartment wednesday night, elder Ordoñes tried to turn on the hot water heater and it exploded in his face!! Burning off all of his eyebrows, eye lashes, a bit of his hair, and slight burns in his skin. They went to the hosptial in reconquista and the doctors told him he couldnt be in direct sun contact for 7 days because of his burns. So.... when we got back from resistencia, we did divisions with them so that Giforos didnt have to spend his first week confined to the apartment. I stayed with elder ordoñez for all of friday.... but i was expecting huge burn scars on his face.... but luckly it wasnt as bad as I was expecting. But that was a crazy experience ffrom this week.
This week in reconquista, we have a baptism set for a 23 year old military guy named lucas. He is a super cool guy that works as a meterologist for the military base here in roconquista. He has family in Entre Rios(a provence of argentina) that got baptized like 4 months ago. So that is how he got into contact with the church. Apparently, he just showed up to the church one day and elder souza and his other comp talked to him. All of his family will be coming here for the baptism this Saturday, so it will be an awesome day. Sunday was great! there were 61 people who came to church.
I took some pics of the appartment im in know and with some friends in resistensia. I took a pic with elder nuñez, he is the missionary that I think looks like michael maxwell. I hope you all have a great week. Hel 5:12
