¡FAMILIA!
Derqui is the bomb. Elder Cunningham is the bomb. The Gospel
is the bomb. I wish I had more time to tell you guys why, but I don´t. :( But
here are a few reasons.
Reason number one: We have bikes. Well we had bikes. Mine
fell apart from underneath me several times this week, and right now is in the
shop until tomorrow. Two: The members are awesome. I´ve already made a ton of
new friends, and they bring their friends to Church without us asking. Three:
There is mud everywhere. It´s a five year-old me´s dream. But the bad thing is
we have white shirts. I guess that´s what P-day´s for.
We have an awesome investigator named Tita. She has been
prepared to a degree that I can´t believe to accept the Gospel. She´s very
kind, actively does missionary work, accepts, and keeps her commitments, and
really wants to change. We got nervous when she offered coffee to us, but when
we taught her the Word of Wisdom, she described how about a year ago she felt
guilty for some reason drinking so much coffee, and decided to drop it for
good. Other than maté cocido, no hot drinks for Tita. She´s incredible.
I´ve been in Provincia before in the mission, but Derqui has
reminded me about how humble people in Argentina live. Even the villas that
I´ve served in are better living conditions then some sectors of our
proselyting area. To beautify the area here, people get creative with old
tires, and try to make a humble attempt at a garden fence. It´s better than a
mess of mud in front of their lean-to shelter, but it still shocks me. It
really makes me grateful for what I have, and helps me stay focused on what´s
really important.
I love you all! Have a great week! ¡Hurra por Israel!

Pictures:
2145 We played soccer with another zone next to us, and I
asked one of the Elders to take some cool soccer pictures of me. The thing is, for
him to do that, that would require me to actually be good at soccer. Oh well.
Next time I´ll just photoshop my face onto Messi.

due to a family emergency. :/ )
