Hola Familia!
We had a baptism this week and it was amazing! I forgot the pictures, so we will send them this week! Leo got baptized. We are now working on two other investigators. Everything is going awesome with Tamara except we just found out she wasn´t married! We had the Charla (lesson) with her about marriage and it was actually really good. It was both me and Hermana Lythgoe´s first time. We practiced a lot for it! She wants to get married but she thinks her boyfriend won´t like it. He is an inactive so maybe he will agree... we keep praying for her.
We also had 3 investigators come to church and we are now teaching a family of Gitanos (gypseys) don´t worry only at the church lol. We have an interesting mix of investigators right now. We are having tons of fun though because we get to prepare every lesson a bit different than the other. The best part of our week this week was the baptism and confirmation for sure. It made me so happy to see his eyes light up! We are just hoping now the branch will get involved now.
Yesterday we got turned down a lot... here we don´t knock on doors really because either they don´t have doors or have a gate, so we clap. This works in our advantage to a certain extent. It was funny though yesterday we had one lady yell at us that if she did have a door she would shut it in our face and another lady walked away in the middle of a sentence. Luckily my companion and I can just laugh about it.
So sometimes I forget that I am not in the US while we are working till I see a horse and a dog getting in a fight... that was really hilarious for me. Kind of silly of the dog seeing that the horse is 2 tons bigger than him. I truly love it here in Argentina with the heat and all. Also something else that is way different here is that there seems to be a Holiday for everything here! Yesterday was Gauchito Hill day he is like Robin hood but for Catolicos. They love their fireworks and little bombs. I was woken up in the middle of the night by the fireworks I swore it was New Years all over lol. But I love it here and could never imagine serving my mission anywhere else with the best companion in the world. Well hope all is good in the USA and tell William thank you for praying for me in this heat! It can be a bit draining, but I love the work still the same. I hope all is well in the cold!
