Dear Family and Friends,
So this week I got lots of letters.
Thanks! I love letters. But mom, I still didn´t get either of the
packages. I´m worried too. I´ve noticed that the envelopes have a
harder time getting through than the boxes. I don´t know why. But I did
get the calender from weston! I love it!
So I really don´t have time today. But some of the highlights.
This
week we became best friends with the bishop. The elders were in
Rosario at a zone leader capacitación and so us, the second couselor and
the bishop met on wednesday
night without them. I brought banana bread with dulce de leche on top
(request of the bishop) and we talked about what was going on in the
ward. He gave us a few names of less actives to visit and we planned an
activity for the less actives to come to church. It was very
productive and fun. Turns out our bishop is super cool and funny. And
now he loves us. he even gave us his own key for us to go and get a
copy. Awesome! We´re going to have a key to the church finally!
After that we updated the elders and then the four of us cleaned the church on friday.
I have a new respect for these elders. They were good cleaners. And
we seem to be working as a team now with the bishop rather than all of
us doing our own thing.
This week was rough for getting lessons, but we did have some good
lessons. One was with Jonathan, the less active´s pareja. We went with
a member and the member was just awesome. Taught priesthood better
than I could have. But Jonathan couldn´t come to church again because
of work. We´re praying that he can find another job.
Hermana Ihler and I made every day special this week. As in every day has a theme. On thursday we bought little candies and ate one every 30 minutes. And on friday the theme was pictures and saturday was grido (ice cream) day. Tomorrow is fruit day and wednesday
is chocolate. Sometimes missionaries just need a little ánimo to keep
going. Especially on the days where no one will let you in and you just
walk and walk and walk.
At church I was asked last minute to play the piano. it was a
disaster. Hermana Ihler was asked last minute to give a talk. I would
have rather given the talk. I was shaking so bad that all the notes
were off. Oh well. I did my best.
Oh and the bishop announced a baptism on sunday
for the 23rd. It´s a 14 year old from an incomplete family and she was
just waiting for her dad to baptize her. Her dad just started coming
back so now she´s ready. Except, she hasn´t had any of the lessons.
The bishop asked us to teach her even though she´s in the elder´s area
because she felt uncomfortable with the elders. We feel bad for them
because they did nothing wrong, but the important thing is that she´s
getting baptized right? Hopefully we can get her 10 year old little
sister on board for the same day. Shouldn´t be a problem.
Well have a great week. Also, the creek flooded. That was fun. And a lot of people have water in their houses.

Me
killing the fungus and it didn´t work. Hermana Giuliani told me I had
to have rubber gloves, goggles, and a mask. This was the missionary
version of that.
And pictures of the flood disaster. And it´s still raining!
