November 22nd Weekly Letter

Hello friends and family, 

I am still in the office as of right now. Its been 7 months of learning and work. But its been great as well and a lot of fun. As i write this president and the asistants are right behind the wall of my office working on transfers. Well see where i go. I am almost certain i am gone. Its about time right?. 

Its great to hear from you all seriously. I would love to get some pictures from everyone. JUst of everyday life whatver. it doesnt have to be special. But just to see everyone im forgetting! Its nuts about berries for sure! I love reading your emails and its exciting the changes that are going on. 

This week was just another week out here. We had our zone meeting on thursday and the theme was ¨the reason for our hope¨ a talk by elder packer. It was solid. I got to share a talk and stuff it was tranquilo. But I also got to talk about the money of the mission a little and we raised the monthly money again. Its a lopng process and complicated but we will have more money now thank goodness its hard to survive these days the inflation is terrible. When i got here an alfajor was 5 pesos. Its now 13 pesos. Crazy right? milk as well has raised 30% in price just the past 6 months. It sucks here as far as that goes. 

Its always fun to have the zne meetings as i see old friends and its always uplifting. Not too much else happened this week.....

Last night we were asked to take a fridge freezer to Roca for some hermanas. We left at about 6 p.m. Went to my old pension to grab the fridge. Cleande it out and cleaned the pension a little bit. Then as weare leaving i hop in to drive and 3 of us 4 get in and my companion stays to lock the gate. After about a minute we look over and he is struggling to lock the gate. I yelled ¨hay que empujarlo al dentro para cerrar bien¨ turns out he put the key in wrong and got it stuck. So we waited around until the owner showed up about 20 minutes. Then we had to saw the key and take it a part and fixed it like that. But now we have no key.....anyways after, we went and were on our way to Roca. Roca is about 45 minutes drive. We got there great and all went well. We ate dinner with hte zone leaders in roca. Platano deep fried with tuna salad and crackers surprisingly good. Then we drove home and got home at about 12 pm. But it turned out well.

Nothing much more exciting has happened. 

I am ready to get out of hte office. I just would like to study again and be able to have more teaching opporutunities. But at hte same time i a mscared a little as its been a while since being in the schedule of normal missionary i forgot how it is.... But i am ready. Its like im starting over again at being in the field haha should be fun!

BUt thats about it. I dont know what to say. I will know my transfer next week and i will let you know where i go and who is my companion. 

Love you all thanks for your support. The church is true. Have a great week and try to share the gospel wioth your friends! Oh that reminds me. We are now teaching the members and doing practices with them on how to share the gospel. Its amazing and so much fun. We use preach my gospel to hewlp them know how to be misisonaries as members. We dont preach as members but we can testify. Its been way fun in that sense.

Im pumped to tear it up in the field again. 

Love you all!

Chao!
