I suck at soccer!

well hey!
       guess what, i´m pretty much coming home in like three seconds!! haha relax, not in that way, just that this whole entire week felt like one super fast day that never even happened! but it was really super great. i met an atheist who thought i was forty years old and tried to explain how one big bang makes more sense than a higher power than us. also my companion and i gave a blessing to a man named jesús because he asked for it and said that a woman had broken his heart and he needed help to get over it. so as we were giving the blessing he started telling my companion what to say haha it was so different, but it all worked out and my companion just tuned him out and followed the spirit like he should.
    remember when i said one of my investigators was pregnant?! they had the baby!!! it´s name is emily and it´s so precious. they are going to have the baptismal interview either today or tomorrow and they are both sooo stoked to get baptized and go to the temple to be sealed together forever.
      i also figured out that i suck super bad at soccer! every argentine is a thousand times better than me, i thought i might have something in common with the people cuz i played soccer before, but there is nothing in common, they are on a whole different level than me, the children, the people my age as well as the old people, it´s unfair.
      i definately get enough to eat and i really have to thank you for the money i was able to take out last week, the don´t give us the most money ever here to get by and i´m not so good at budgeting yet so there really could not have been a better time to have money than that, thank you so much!!!!! we don´t have a car, a lot of the traveling we do is by bus and taxi and of course walking. if we have a lot of time we walk, if we don´t have enough time to walk there we take a bus and if we´re late we call a taxi cuz those are super expensive and we try to do that the least possible. but really don´t worry, the people are super duper nice, the only problem is that they steal all the packages that you guys send to me. i heard about a trick where people will put pictures of the virgin mary or jesus on the outside so it will get there. cuz i´ll be honest, it´s probably not even against any rules here to steal the packages out of the mail, but if there is something like that they might have a little more respect i hope haha i don´t know. thank you so much for the support and love though, i´ll see you all in 10 weeks. it´s crazy how fast this time has gone
