Elder Preston Vance: Week # 11~ Another week in paradise!

Hola!

I am good! Long day of walking but good! This week was really fun we had a lot of fun things going on! The temp is about 50 degrees it has gotten so cold lately and rainy! My comp is fine we are getting along well but we are so different-so, so different, but I am making it work!

Here is my week in review…

Monday-

Today we went to the zoo! It was like Hogle Zoo was closed and you could only look through ONE hole in the fence. Lots of chickens and birds. I was dreaming about my next piece of protein the whole day.

We ran out of money on Saturday cause that was the day we receive our sig. or the money for the month. It was ok because it was finally in our account today, so we had extra rice so we were fine!

Our zone leader is leaving to go home this week and rubbed it in everyones face especially mine and I almost got to go home this week also from wanting to beat him up! So funny!

We also found out in October we can eat at members homes! Our President just announced, but with that we will have our $ cut in half. We are only getting $1000 pesos a month starting in October about $100 american dollars, so that will be really hard! I have faith it will all work out! I am doing good here on money next month with our money cut in half -I have no idea then!!!

We taught only one lesson today to a new contact and got about 5 other new contacts that same afternoon. This is really good most people just shake there fingers through the window or say that they are already believe in christ so they don't need to know more. Which is crazy! One man said he was part of our church and we asked if he was mormon and he said no but he is catholic he refused to believe that we are from a different church. It was so weird.

Tuesday-

Not a lot happen on Tuesday. We walked a lot and contacted a lot .

Wednesday-

It was a hermana in our districts birthday so we got to eat cake! I haven't had cake in what seem like forever! The best part it was funfetti! My favorite flavor!!!!

We meet with a baker who is a member, He gave us some bread and it was so great, we are trying to think how often we can visit him with out making him annoyed by the Missionary!

Thursday-

We were out tracting and we meet a man who used to me a member and is a barber and he said if we come meet with him again he will cut our hair for free!! So we are going tonight to visit him! It’s amazing that the Lord will bless us with what we need, like free hair cuts and bread!

Friday-

The church had a dia de nino, which is a ward party for the kids. It was crazy with lots of little kids and funny weird activities for them. There was about 3 fist fights from the Decon age boys but nothing to violent.

They asked me and my companion to go stand my them cause they are all afraid of us, because we are so much bigger then them. So funny! Then the bishopric did a skit form some very old Argentine show and I had zero idea what was going on! It was very fun!

Saturday-

We just tracted all day and made a lot of contacts in the morning. I almost fell right on my face in the middle of the park I was reading my Spanish book as always…and wasn’t looking as well as I should of where I was going. I hit a lip on a rock that we were passing it must have looked so funny!

Sunday- we announced our baptism for next week in the chapel and we meet with a some members cause the President wants Sundays just for meeting with active members.

Thanks Mom & Dad love you too! Thank you for giving me so many tools and things so I am always prepared here!

No I am not starving just eating what matters!

Love you all,

Elder Vance
