¡Hola! ¿Cómo andan?
Oh check out my mad Argentine skills!
It's another great day aquí in Zapala.
Recently my challenge is to learn all the lessons in Preach my Gospel. My mission president challenged me to go through all the lessons and go through every little reading, every little activity, do every itty bitty thing to be able to understand. And i'm loving it! I've just barely gone through a page of the first lesson, but I feel so smarty now! I'm diggin it.
Lately my companion and I have been working a lot to find new investigators, so lately we've been doing a lot, and I mean A LOT of walking from house to house, doing contacts and knocking doors, trying to find the ones that really are interested and are not just being polite. We have 4 baptismal dates and my companion is like " More, MORE!!! MWA HA HA!!!" I think she was baptism-date deprived when she was younger. Just kidding! We're really trying to find the ones that the Lord has prepared and want to follow him and his example. Also, one of the chicas that wants to get baptized works ALL THE TIME, and we're trying to catch her to prepare her for her baptism. But it'll happen. She's really great. At her sister's baptism she had the desire to be baptized. She loves it. She goes to church every week when she's not sick (allergies, hooray!) and reads and prays and all that jazz. We just gotta corner her!
Cultural fact about Argentina- They don't really get married here. The process is complicated (in italics to signify ridiculous). Ranging from problems to not really wanting to have the "commitment" to divorces being really expensive or waiting ten years for it to be anulled. This makes life so much more difficult. We're working with the daughter of a member right now who can't really get married and it's so hard because she's so ready, but there's not too much we can do except keep teaching and praying.
I know that I haven't written much but I already gotta go!
love love love!

P.S. I can call home on mother's day! (May 9) The call can only be forty minutes, but I'm going to call about 8 p.m. our time, which should be about 4 p.m. your time. Please be waiting a little bit early for the call, and I'm excited to talk to each and every one of you- Adam, Micah, Barrett, Daddy, and of course Mamma. xoxo
