So yes we still go by that family [the family in his last email where the boyfriend and girlfriend had a confrontation]. Its not awkward or
anything. We go by that area a ton. This family is a part member family and the
mom is probably going to be baptized this month.
So your question on food. Hispanic food in Texas is spicy!
They love things that are hot. Tortillas, meat, cooking out and all. Here in
Argentina is more kind of like European style stuff. Noodles and meat. Almost
everything has some sort of meat in it. Its hard to find something here that is
spicy. They think something is hot if they eat a little ball of pepper.
So today I was finally able to send a couple of letters
that I had written like 3 or 4 weeks ago for Uncle Dale and Aunt Cheryl and
Grandma Walker. Tomorrow they will be sent to Salta. Then from there
I dont know where they will go. I also sent
one for Grandma Dawson.
Yesterday morning we were in
Claudia´s house (Recent Convert) and we were all talking about different
things. We started talking about halloween. They asked me what is the meaning
of halloween. Why do we celebrate it. I didnt know why. haha
So this week I was on exchanges with Elder Poettcker. I
stayed in Frias. We traveled to Santiago on Tuesday, had District Meeting,
I also exchanged $40 into Pesos. It was an exchange of 8.5 pesos for $1. So I
got 340 pesos. That is a good rate. But then we traveled back to Frias and he
stayed with me that day and all day Wednesday.
Also yesterday we were able to confirm Eliana. She wasnt able to come last week but this week yes.
Saturday we were suppose to have a baptism but we didnt. His name is Maxi. This last week he had some doubts and then there was elections and so things got complicated. He isnt sure about baptism anymore but he also knows that things we have taught and that he has learned are true. We are going to talk to him today. He is a great kid and really has great desires. He will be baptized. We just need a little help from the Lord and the Holy Ghost!
