Hey all! Happy New Year! So, many of you (I’m sure) have been wondering what the holidays are like here in Argentina. Well, I don’t know, since I am in my apartment when all the fun begins, but they do have fireworks on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. All I have to say about it is, “I love school.”
It was wonderful to talk to everyone on Christmas! Thanks also to the fam for the package and socks! Thanks to Diane, the fam, and Sam for letters! That meant so much!
This week the weather has been “intense.” Or in other words, windy. It has been lovely. And the cool story of the week is that we tried to do a contact in Quechua. Neither of us speaks Quechua, the native language of the Bolivians, but we tried and the little old lady was wonderful. We didn’t get in.
We haven’t gone whale watching, because the whales are gone now. They are farther south. Sad!
So to answer everyone’s questions, I’m doing great! My area is relatively small. There are no restaurants in my area. There are about 20 or more Kiosks. We work in about 5 neighborhoods, but one of them is a bunch of apartment buildings. There are probably more people in Roca than in all the rest of my area.
We have two people scheduled for baptism, Marcela and Milton who just got married. The ward is wonderful and we are going to put more effort into working with them.
Our mission leader is great and is a big help! Hno. Garcia has a great testimony of this gospel and loves to help us out.
Zone Conferences are pretty good. We learn a lot. The only temple in Argentina is in Buenos Aires. We are a two hour flight away if we are in Neuquen, and I am 10 hours away from Neuquen by bus. We have the wonderful blessing of having a church building. It is just a couple of blocks from our apartment. I love it here!
I think that’s all for this week! Love always!
