A Pleasant Surprise // May 21, 2018

Hey Fam,

Well the time is winding down. We had a great week here in Goya. This transfer has absolutely flown by. This is my 2nd to last p-day of the transfer and what will be my mission. But Elder Moore and I are getting a lot done with this massive area we are in charge of. Unfortunately, we havent had our normal multi zone conference because presidente patania was sick when we were suppose to have it... but rumors have it that we will have it in our last week of the transfer. There is so much going on in the area and a lot of potential. We had a pleasant surprize investigators come to church yesterday. One was Humberto, who was the 75 year old pharmasist who is owns that real estate agency. We have kept contact with him and taught a little to him and he showed up Sunday. It was a little complicated though because elder moore and I went in Taxi to pick up an investigator and her 2 sisters who live really far away. And when we called for the taxi, the guy said that it was going to take awhile because there was only one taxi driver working that morning. so he picked us up late and ended up showing up to church at 9:25. As we walked in, I noticed Claudio and Humberto and was super happy to see them there. It is possible we will be able to baptize the investigador who we picked up on my last saturday here.... but we will see. 

It is pretty chilly here. Every day this week I have been wearing sweaters and my north face jacket because it is quite fresco out. so that has been nice but makes me nostalgic because I get taken back to chilly thanksgiving mornings and brisky friday afternoon football games. But then I turn the street and see a 7 year old boy driving a motorcycle down the street and I am reminded that I am in Argentina.


This week will be a fun week because wednesday is the elders qurome president´s birthday and we will go to his house for a nice argentine BBQ. Then on Friday in the Argentine independence day(25demayo) and we will be having a big branch activity. I am pretty excited for that! It will be combined between the two branchs here so it will be interesting to see if there are any luchas or verbal assualts. I´ll keep you updates! 


But as for me... I am doing great. I am at peace with everything and excited to take advantage of these last 14 days in the mission! Kinda crazy, today it kind of hit me, that it is actually coming to an end. I think it is because usually at the 5 week mark in a transfer is when you start thinking about what will happen in transfers. Will I go? will I stay? will my comp go, or will my comp stay? But there is no guessing this time. Thats all I got for this week! I love you guys and hope you enjoy every day.
