Hola!
Awesome photos! Stoked
for Devin and Nathan and Otto looked legit in his pumpkin costume! Sounded like
Halloween was a fun time. They don´t really celebrate Halloween here ha-ha.
Some of the stores and what not had fake cobwebs and spiders for decoration but
that´s about it. No trick-or-treating or parties or any of that stuff.
This week was pretty
good, other than the fact that I feel kind of sick right now :/ I am not sure
why, but I am sure it will go away soon. It´s nothing serious, just a cold I
believe, but it definitely isn´t fun.
We had 3 more
baptism’s this last Monday! The family Gomez-Perrea had their baptism and it
was probably the coolest baptism I have had yet on the mission. They all good
of course, but it was cool to see Hermano Gomez-Perrea baptize his wife and two
kids. Definitely a spiritual experience. He bore his testimony this last Sunday
about the baptism and his family and what not, was really cool. So that was
awesome!
Elder McGarry left for
his house Wednesday and I am now with Elder Child from Utah and we are still in
Ituzaingo! I thought Elder McGarry spoke well but this kid speaks Spanish just
as well as he speaks English. So I feel I am going to learn a lot from him. So
that will be good. He has a couple more transfers then me and he knows Elder
Gallardo, so that is pretty cool. He was in Formosa before coming here and the
missionaries in Formosa literally all have baptism´s each week. Mainly because
all of Formosa is pretty poor and the people there are just prepared and ready
to join the gospel. But I say this because he still has that go get em`
attitude to baptize each week, which is good! Corrientes is a little different
and there aren´t as many baptisms here, but we are going to work hard and have
success here!
Oh also, new rule. No
English! Elder McGarry liked to speak English, and although I learned a ton
from him, it´s obviously better to just speak Spanish. So for the next year and
half only Spanish! In the apartment, on divisions, P-days, everything! Only
Spanish.
Elder Child is pretty
cool and I get along with him so far, I have a feeling we are only going to be
together and here for this next transfer because all the members say that
during the middle of December is when the Elders leave and the Sisters come in.
Because that is when all the tourists start rolling in to use the beaches!
I am kind of wanting
to get transferred and see some other parts of the mission ha-ha, because I
have been here alonggggg time! But it´s all good, because Ituzaingo is pretty
cool. We will see what happens next transfer!
Other than this not
much going on! Elder McGarry and I kind of got into a routine of how we spent
our P-days and it´s probably going to change a little bit now that I am with
Elder Child, so I am not too sure when we will be writing each week! I know
that Elder Child likes to write earlier in the day and Elder McGarry liked to
write later in the day, so just make sure to have your letters out Sunday night
still!
I love you all and am
going to try to send some photos now! Have e a great week and I will write more
next week!. :)
