Well another amazing week in Argentina! Could not ask for more. This week wow we were exhausted in all aspects. We set really high goals this week and met 8 out of 10 of them! Which means today I am exhausted and last night we barely made it home because our legs would barely move we were so tired! But I wouldn´t have it any other way!
Funny Highlights of the Week:
1. Family Home Evening, "Noche de Hogar"- We recently baptized a family with 6 kids. They have a million friends. So we had the idea to throw a huge family home evening for them all at the chapel to invite their friends to. We did 2 of them! One Tuesday and Wednesday night. They went fantastic even with a million little crazy Argentine kiddos running through the gym. We taught them to pray, come to church, and read the scriptures and did games for each. The final game (which the picture is of) is they had to make house out of tables and blankets to "have a firm foundation from the storm" which we related to reading the scriptures. It was great! It would have been hilarious to video us trying to explain how to play some American games to these kids but they figured it out, even with our yucky spanish! Then from that we went to 4 houses of those kids to teach their families! A great way to get new investigators!
2. Futbol riots and parties- Well these didn´t help how tired we were but we got some good laughs. We live in an apartment above some stores in downtown San Rafael. Our neighbors above like to throw "get togethers". But here in Argentina, everything has a different timing than the states. People wake up at 11am, have dinner at 10pm and go to bed who knows when. So it makes our 10:30 bedtime and 6:30am wake up a little weird for them. It keeps me up lots of nights but I am getting better at sleeping through it. Well, Im guessing this was a big week in soccer here because EVERYONE knows when they win. Everyone riots in the streets and honks their horns for hours and runs around waving their flags. It is quite entertaining! I wish I could take a picture but it isn't really safe or in accordance to the rules. But, just know that Argentina is one big party. Even though we don.t join in, it is still entertaining to watch haha!!
Well, this is the last week of my first transfer as a missionary! It flew by! We will see where I go from here!! Love you all! I am so grateful to have you all and thank the Lord each day for all he has blessed with with!
