I usually will be on at this time, about starting 3 your time. Sometimes I get on in the morning but only real quick to email the president. I finish emailing a lot earlier than my comp. so I have a bit extra time. After we head to the church to hang out with the other missionaries to play games or ping pong or such.
For my companions birthday, as I said last time, we didnt have much money at the time. We get money at the end of the month and we came a bit short then haha. But I asked other missionaries to make brownies so he made that for us in our district meeting. Then once we got money we bought some lomitos and made some tortas, which were awesome. It still is pretty cold, but now it is a bit warm. Thankfully, it didn't rain last Sunday so people actually came... it was awesome. Those pictures: one is with Elder Fernandez, who I lived with for a bit, I have more pictures with him I sent a while ago. I got a picture with him because he left to his home last week to recover from his surgery. Then there is Elder Fielding and I, we came from the MTC together, so we are friends. We are at the immigrations to sign, but like I said last time that we weren't able to, so we need to come back another day. That picture I sent by myself, there is a part which is totally empty in my neighborhood, I thought it was cool. And yeah it is crazy that I have 5 months now in the mission today! But I still have lots of time left... but time has gone by super fast! It is a bit crazy to think about. The changes are the 18th of this month, the chances are I will stay, but no one is totally sure.
Hmm... so this week we are going to be working with Maria Ortiz a ton because her baptism will be this Saturday! We were abit afraid we would have to push it another week, but things are going great! It is going to be awesome. Her mom-in-law is going to make a torta for it and we are preparing the last final details for her baptism, but it is awesome because she is super happy. So about Maria Echague, we will ahve to change her date for another time because she is too busy with her work to be able to fulfill her commitments like reading and such, but she is super awesome and we will keep working with her to realize the importance of baptism. We also had a cool experience with our investigator, Raquel. She is progressing super well, but the only thing is that she is not able to attend sacrament meetings yet until she recovers fully. It was super neat, one day she told us that she had been praying that we would come this day, and this day we showed up. It was interesting because it had been some time since we had come.
Something pretty cool I did was that I taught a member Algebra again, so that was fun haha. It always is intersting to do it in another language. So someting cool, the brother that we baptized a while ago, Dionicio, he has a huge family and a couple are interested in getting baptized, like Maria Ortiz is the daughter in law. It is super awesome, Dionicio comes to church with about 15 people every week, it is super awesome!
The food here, is actually pretty normal for me. It surprises a few people when I say that. They eat meat, rice, spaghetti, a lot of normal stuff. I have heard some missionaries eat some super strange stuff like pig heart and such, but I haven't had anything strange.
Ah, so the thing about piquete is that none of the houses have adresses, so that makes it a bit hard to find some people sometimes. We have to contact around and ask people for such and such. But if you look for limpio, asuncion and then look for that part nearby using that picture of the map I sent you, you can find it.
Well, hope all is well. Chao! Love you guys!
