Merry Christmas from Argentina
HEY! Well crazy week number two from Maipu! This week was packed.
We were walking on the street and saw this man limping and we went and
conctacted him. We asked him if we could come pray for his health at his
house. We was super dispuesto and we had a great lesson one with him and he
totally thinks the Book of Mormon is true. (: We actually asked him if we
wanted to be baptized the first lesson and said YES! It was great. He is so
cool. Then for the next visit we threw at him, word of wisdom, tithing,
sabbath day holy, and chastity. We both felt inspired. We was like...´´Well,
it´s logical that God would give us those commandments¨and we were both like
YES! He is Sooo ready for the gospel it was great (: He didn´t come to
church this week so that kinda puts back his fecha a little bit but, it´s
all good (:
Well, to be honest the first couple weeks are hard. It´s hard to be here and
it´s harder to get up and exercise, study and talk to people who really
don´t like you at all. But it´s good to embrace the ecperience and learn
from it. It´s hard to be here sometimes but when you are obedient and you
pray and have faith, you get this crazy good feeling like you are just way
happy. It´s crazy (: But I love it (:
No crazy foods yet. I have had waaay to much Spaghetti and Lasagna. The
think that because we are walking all day that we could eat a cow. They make
soooo much food for us . Like too much. I can barely eat the first dish in
the first place. And they try to offer me a lot more. Ah, they eat so much
here. But I do LOVE empanadas. Mmmmm
We went to a christmas party in another barillo because my comp was playing
a bunch of piano for them. And there was this little kid that ripped his
pants. He was gordito and so I had to sew his pants and try to talk to him
in Spanish it was so hard but It was a good memory.Hahahaa. So funny.
So one day we came home from something and we couldnt open our door of our
¨pench¨for the life of us. It was crazy and weird. So we had to ask our
neighboors if we could climb over there house into our back porch thing to
try to get in. we were climbing of wires and roofs and our pants got
freaking dirty and then when we finally got in, we went to go check out the
door and it the dead lock would not turn! We were now locked in....ugh.
So we called our lunch appts and other appts and said we were locked in and
it was so crappy. It was tough and tried for like hours to open and free
oursleves but we couldnt. Ugh. So we called some other elders and they told
us some trick with the key and we finally got out. It was an adventure but
totally crazy. And not fun.
I hate doing my laundry by hand. Hahaha, its kinda gross but all this has
helped me realize what I truly have and how blessed I am.
It doesn´t feel like christmas at all down here, so I am just going on like
normal. Hahaha. Well,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Love, Elder Vale
