Back at it With the Whitewashing

​

Well we are basically back to the drawing board after that last baptism. Our area is now twice as big and we are the only two missionaries for our ward that used to be two wards. That means that I am half the time doing the area we had before, and the other half of the time I am blanking this other area, all the while training a new missionary. He speaks pretty well, it is just a lot to handle. Presidente also decided that he wants to keep both the apartments that we have, so guess who gets to be in charge of two apartments now? Woowee. Last week we had Norma's baptism which was awesome because she always used to tell Campbell and me that she would never get baptized, but then she ended up getting baptized after all. The only tough thing is that she was basically the only investigator that we had that was really progressing. That means that now we are basically just looking for new people, which happens to be the longest part of the mission haha. Also last week we had to help a lot with the changes in the mission. 20 missionaries finished, and I think like 6 new missionaries got here. We could really use another age drop out here

President 

Nelson haha. Also last week, Pday was on tuesday, which I am sure you have all figured out by now. I guess on Monday, all of the bus drivers just did not go to work, and it was transfer week, so

 changed Pday. It ended up being possibly the best Pday of the mission though, because we had to be in the terminal for most of the day, but when we were not there, we were 10 minutes away watching Argentina work magic against Nigeria on an insanely large TV in a park. Probably the best Pday I will ever have. Well as for investigators now, we had a couple other people that we were teaching, but it is apparently really hard to go to church when it is cold. Funny how that works. Also Argentina lost the World Cup game this week, so some people definitely were not at church because of that. I guess the most frustrating thing about the mission is having all these people tell you every week that they are going to go to church and then they just do not go. It would be better if they just said no haha. It has been a pretty stressful time haha. The other elders really did not have that much going for them in their area. They had one guy named Luis, but he kinda smokes and goes to lots of other churches, so we will see what happens with him. We really just need to find more people. I guess we will just be talking a lot more. Also the hard part of the mission now would definitely be staying motivated. It would be a lot easier if any part of the mission made sense, but there is not really a single part of it that is constant or that makes sense. That is just how it goes I guess. 

Supongo que ahora debo escribir alguito en espanol. Bueno, estoy aprendiendo mucho de como hacer todas las cosas y come tener aful de estres todos los dias jajaja. Pero en verdad, la mision es un buen tiempo de cambio y de ayudar otras personas. Realmente necesito mas ganas para hacer este jajaja. Todo bien. Se que Jeucristo es mi salvador y que si hacemos todo lo podamos en la vida aqui, tendremos la vida eterna ahi. 

So that is about it! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
