No Halloween in Rosario!

    Halloween is most certainly a U.S. Holiday. I have asked people here if they celebrate it and they know what it is, but they don´t celebrate nor respect it. 

   My week was actually really good, we found out that all the changes will actually happen this week right now! so i haven´t changed anything yet, although we have to be like searching for new apartments and stuff constantly for the new missionaries to move into. 

   This week a girl named Marisol got baptized in our branch, she is ten years old, super spiritual and really just a little angel. Her parents aren´t members and they are really really dificult people to talk to. They live in an abandoned hospital clinic and beg on the streets as a career. They are actually really nice people, but not married and too far into drugs and smoking that they don´t listen to us when we talk about Jesus Christ. They have a lot of fear for the name we wear on our chest. But my companion and i went over to their house this week to help them learn how to be parents haha, it was a really fun lesson. 

     This week we were practicing for a talent show with a lot of other missionaries when we got a call from our branch president who told us to go help a family move and we said SURE!! so we went right on over to the house.... but that´s not why we went at all!! the house had burned all the way to the ground! it was a lady who is not a member, but her son is a super cool member. Her house was made of wood (like literally just like 2 by 4s) and some kind of spark from cables just fell on the house and in just a blink of an eye the whole entire house had burned down. Thank goodness she wasn´t in there!!! but her poor little dog was in there and got toasted. we showed up in our proselyting clothes because we thought we were just going to be moving like couches and dresssers and stuff, but that darn satan.

       Hey, you all have a great halloween! I´m pretty sure i´m going to be malfoy because i just recently bought a slytherin tie. I´ll see you at the party! much love

See you tomorrow!

Yahoooo for you!!!

     That would be really neat to get a package, but don´t worry,  i won´t be expecting it just in case. I´m so jealous that we have a brother that lives in vegas! i´m super stoked to visit him and get lost all over vegas! this week was super good, i got the chance to be a companion for three days with an elder who is from Vegas and has only been in argentina for 3 weeks! His name is Elder Witter and he went to West Point for college so he showed me how you really do workouts in the morning and work hard all day, it was a really good experience and i learned a ton being with him.

     We had a big meeting in a city that is 5 hours away and i found out that there will be 28 missionaries getting here this week!!! and then 16 more 2 weeks after. So pretty much the president said he is going to split up my zone! :( It will become 2 zones and there`s a good chance that my companion and i won´t be companions anymore pretty soon... It´s pretty sad, but it´s ok, i signed up for change when i signed up for the mission. 

       Today i bought a new proselyting bag! it costed 75 pesos and hopefully this one won´t stain my shirts as much as the one i have now haha. 

      It has been an awesome week and i´ll let you know all about the new changes next week! See you tomorrow! with little loves

Whoa, that little rat-looking thing just got ate!!

Mama,

    What a neat week, eh? My companion and i were walking on the street the other day and we just saw this full blown mouse run out of bushes and into like a crowd of people that were just standing in front of a little store. NONE of the people even noticed, but the dog sure did! so the dog pursued the poor little rat and the rat even ran into like thick brush, but the dog did not give up. We watched as the dog caught the little thing AND ATE IT. i was just like, ´´whoa! that little rat-looking thing just got ate!´´ 

       But the week overall was super super good. There was another marriage of an investigator with a less active who has become an active member. It was really weird because it`s like a huge step in their life, but they´ve been together for like 5 years already so it doesn`t even seem like anything is going to change, they say. But the girl is going to get baptized this week coming up.

       Ahhhhh it`s welsh`s mom. He is an incredible missionary, he`s the ap right now. but hey, don`t worry so much about getting a million christmas things in there, i´ve decided i´ll just have argentine christmases which aren´t bad at all, but it is really cool to share the stuff from my christmases back home with all the cool argentine people here so they can get to know new stuff too. The only thing i really really ask is marshmallows!!!! I need marshmallows because they don´t even know what they are here. 

          This week i went to a members house and she told me i was famous on twitter! i thought she was just joking, but she showed me that i am! When i was proselyting with my companion a girl took a picture of us and put it on twitter with a little caption that says, ´´a little early to out bugging everybody, huh jehovah´s witnesses?´´ haha i laughed so hard about it. Lots of people are super ignorant about what God wants for them, but it´s ok! we just help the people who let God help them. 

         I love you all lots! Say happy birthday to the becks for me! 13... that`s so crazy. She is just still little Beckham. she could probably like beat me up now and she´s probably like going on dates and stuff. See you at school.
