May 24th

Hola Familia. Another week has gone by....well. 5 days. My p day will be saturday now. Well. Its hard to explain. We do our shopping and cleaning and writing family saturday mornings until 1. Then on monday we have p day from 1 to 6. To spend time with our district which is just us and 4 hermanas. But still it should work out ok. I hope everyone is doing ok with health and what not. 

This week was interesting. Monday we just hung out wrote our families in the office and then went to the casa grande down the road, where the asistants live and where the bunkhouse is with 22 beds. We took a nap on the couches for 2 hours then went to grido ice cream. It was good. Then we worked in the office all night until 9. Pretty lame.

Tuesday we went to the office like normal in the morning and then went out to work at 5. We went with elder furlanich so us 3 with a member to a menos activo family. It just so happened that this day was the day her father passed away a year ago so it was very emotional for her. But we shared heleman 5 and had everyone go around and share their testimony about Jesus Christ. it was great. Then we had cake and sprite. Then went home and went to bed.

Wednesday we stayed over night at the casa grande cause we had to stay up until 1 30 to pick people up at the bus terminal. We then went to bed at 2. Got up at 6 to do the tramites work and went all day just working like normal. We went back to the casa grande to saty again. So i was wearing my suit for 3 days straight. I slept in my suit pants causei had no other clothes or toothbrush or anything. It was rad. Then thursday we had zone conference all day with president. I already knew the entire meeting as i helped plan it and the asistents are basically my companions. But still it was good. from 7 am to 5 pm. It was good. It flew by.  We had some good lunch. I met a sister from herriman high school. She graduated in 2013. Hna. maynard. she played basketball and she is cool. But ya it was a good conference. After, we went to the office and i did the bolsas with materials all night for the next day to ship them out. 

Thursday....oh wait, this was the conference day....

Friday we were dead and had racoon eyes from the week so we just worked in the office all night as it was busy. we went to subway this week at least.....Also on friday 8 elders and sisters came to the office to do visa work and so we ate lunch with them....well...they ate my lunch haha but oh well i got subway....but anyways an elder there ,elder rasmussen is still in bariloche. He told me whats going on in my area and also that Sergio, the guy from Australia i found, i dont know if you remember, but he is getting baptized today. I found that out cause elder rasmussen is baptizing him. It sucks kind if cause he was my friend i wanted to be there for his baptism, and we found him, I remember no one was talking to him so i went over and invited him. But man i just feel like crud missing out on that baptism. I taught him the first 3 lessons in english too. But oh well. Its not important who does it as long as its done. Also, i found out german got baptized along with the family of 5!!! Makes me very happy but inside it sucks. I wanted to be there as i worked my butt off to help those people. Im learning some pretty good lessons thats for sure. 

As of right now we dont even have an investigator really .we have no time to go out these days. But its ok im doing fine. I miss the field more than i miss home. I am not a person to sit inside all day by myself and pack bags and sort mail. So for that, i am a little bummed. But im doing ok. Its only another 4 months and i will be out again in my natural habitat. 

But ya. its getting cold here, and just staying busy. I miss you all and love you very much. 

On a side note, theres a ukelele in the casa grande where we stay half the time. I am learning to play that too. I lvoe instruments now i dont know whats going on. I want to learn to play the violin and cello and stuff. Kind of weird desires but i dont know. For now well just stick with the guitar and UKE. 

Love you all....any questions? Have a great week! Im running out of stuff to write.
