Surgery Performed on a Baby in the Dark // May 14, 2018

Happy Monday again, 

Well it was great to talk to you guys yesterday. I hope you will forgive me because I have developed weird linguistical habits that I am sure you will notice in more clarity when I get back. But everyone looks great. We´ll continue that conversation in t-minus 22 days. 

Today for p-day, Elder Moore and I got bikes from the tourist center and took them around goya all morning. We went to a snake museum which was quit interesting. They even had baby allegatores. I asked the lady if I could hold one of them and the lady almost let me... but that didnt happen. after that we went and played ¨Padel¨. But before that, we had district meeting and celebrated elder rubicsh´s birthday. Then tonight we are going to watch the empires new groove... super pumped for that. Elder moore and I have been having fun with food recently. To give you all context, when I got here in Argentina, the ARG peso was 15 to 1 dollar. it has since rose to 20 to 1 dollar and over the past 3 weeks, it has risen to 24 ARG pesos to 1 dollar. This is making everything super expensive so we are cooking a lot and getting creative. On Thursday morning when we were stuck in side, we really didnt have much food. So we made Buscuits and Gravy using with flour and a little milk. The next day we made some really good hamburgers that blows any argentine burger out of the water. So I attached a pic of that. I kind of got side tracked talking about food, but like I said yesterday, its my weakness and the onlt thing that gets me ¨trunky¨. 


So this week was the first week that felt like fall. The tempurature has officially dropped and now the leafs are starting to turn colores and fall. That was acompanied with an abundance of rain that dropped so much water in Goya... to the point that tursday morning we had to stay in doors because of flooding. All the success we had 2 weeks ago was followed by a mediocure week. All the investigadores basically stopped progressing. Marta was supposed to get baptized on saturday but she sent us a text message on thursday telling us that she was doing well with everything but that she hasnt been able to kick the smoking vice. So that has been suspended until that gets resolved. Claudio and Marcela, like I mentioned yesterday are doing well, going to church, adn all that jazz, but are still trying to talk about it as a couple to decided if it is right for them(to get married and baptized). Their obstical would be fear, fear of change and what will happen once they make that decision. So that is still pending.

I hope you all have a great week, Love you!
