so this week i got sick from the water again and was out for like 5 days throwing up so that kinda stunk mainly just because it messes with all of our appointments for the week and its harder to help people progress. but im feeling mostly better now so this week is back into the grind.
CROCS
something i havent talked about yet but all of argentina wears crocs i kid you not. its insane kids adult grandparents missionaries doctors all of them. so yeah thats something a little interesting and different about argentina haha
the heat here is still hot getting hotter i have to wash my clothes like two times a week now because i sweat through two pairs of clothing every day haha so thats getting a little tedious now. and all of my area has just decided that clothes are not a thing now that its summer me and my comp have to really watch out because there are just half or full nude people everywhere so most of the time we just stare at the dirt or the dogs haha.
so for new years this year me and my comp had another asado so that was the bomb i have officially put on 15 pounds and it was probably straight meat. i made it through my first transfer in the field and it flew by so feeling good then in another six weeks i will get a new comp. its been really hard to work lately argentines are typically really laid back and kinda lazy but when holidays come around holy cow its nuts they are out buying all the coke and beer in the world and getting ready for parties all week long so we barely got into anyones home this week kinda discouraging.
after walking all day in the heat and having absolute no success at anything we tried we decided to walk towards a little store that sold water to get a drink and we walk in and the owner of the store screams and smiles and then proceeds to quote a scripture from nephi haha it was awesome he was super cool hes never been taught or been to our church but somehow had a book of mormon and he loved it. he gave us two free ice cream bars and said to come back to teach him i love those little moments it always happens when i get close to breaking for the day and i just want to sit down and rest and then we find somebody heavenly father had prepared just for us and i love that feeling and my love for the people and my heavenly father grows so much every time.
love you all hope you guys are having the best holidays and i heard you finally got some snow so woop woop go utah haha
all the love from argentina elder singley
