December 8th Weekly Letter

Hello friends and family! Its good to hear from everyone. I miss you all very much and hope you have a great week. 

As you all know i am now out of hte office. After 5 transfers, 7.5 months, i am now sitting in a cyber to write haha. Que raro! It feels weird being here i feel rushed again! I dont like it. But i am now in Roca, about 45 minutes from neuquen. Its hotter in Roca and more dry. And not much out here. BUT the work is really great in roca. Our zone is destroying right now. Hopefully we can continue seeing these miracles. 

This week was the weirdest, best, worst week of my mission i think. It started off saying bye to the sisters in my group and many other good friends. Very fun days to spend with them butthen when theyall left i just felt so empty and weird. Like im out of the looop kind of. But anyways i satyed in the office a few extra days to help elder cardenas my old comp get situated as financiero. He will do great. Then on thursday at about 3 pm i went to Roca in a collectivo by myself. It was a crappy bus, like a street bus, not a travel bus and its called KOKO. I had my 2 huge bags and backpack and sleeping bag and it was just weird....I was in my suit as well just sweating like crazy. I was alone for the hour and a half ride. On the way i just felt so weird....i started tearing up a little on the bus i just felt soooo alone i dont know how to explain it. I pulled out some pictures to look at on the way as well. But wow i fell asleep after a while on the bus. I woke up and we were in a town called allen. I had no idea what was going on but eventually we got to Roca and i got off that nasty  bus. Took out my 2 bags and everything and went and found my companion with 2 other missionaries waiting in the bus terminal. 

From there we went to the pension. It was soooo hot. BUt anyways the pension was so nasty. i started to unpack a little but ended up cleaning a lot. I took off my shirt cause i was burning of heat. Then i saw a rash on my bicep....i was like....what the heck.....then i took my garment off. I was covered in a rash. my comp and i laughed for a while until it got really bad then it was like oh fetch. Being my stupid self i said, lets go work. I went out to work after the rash died down a little bit. IN our lesson, i started breaking out again all over my arms and a little on my face. Thats when we went to the hospital. They got me in in about an hour as i sat there itching my legs, arms, back, chest, etc. (luckily i avoided an uglier spot to have a rash) But finally i got in and they gave me an injection of i dont knwo what. It helped for a litle bit. Then they gave me pills. These past few days, its been off and on. But turns out i had hives, or an allergic reaction. scary! my throat was closing up last night as well and the night before but now i think iam better! I hope! 

ANyways i got to go! Love you all have a great week! Miss you all!
