New Years was AWESOME. Well, actually I wouldn´t know. My companion and I put earplugs in and went to bed at 10:30 haha...living it up.
Everyone down here thinks I am either from Canada or Argentina. I don´t really know why, but a lot of the time that I am in the street people are yelling ARGENTINA! at me. At first I didn´t understand why everyone was yelling a country at me, but my companion explained that not many people can see why an American would be down here, so their second guess is Argentina. Vaya!
The Familia Rivas. OHMYGOSH. This family is incredible. We have been teaching them for the last few weeks, and some of the members of their families have baptismal dates now. The dad is a less active and LOVES to talk, and he and his wife have 4 kids. They are reading, praying, and living the commandments and it is SO incredible!
So my companion had to go to this sketchy lab in someone´s living room to get her blood drawn. And, as is missionary rules, I had to be next to her. I faced the entirely opposite direction the whole time and just cringed and fidgeted. They couldn´t get blood out of one arm no matter how hard they dug and tried, but they were able to coax some out of the other arm.
So this is semana 11 in my 12 weeks training program. Which means I only have my Hna Sol for only 2 more weeks. I am so sad about that! We have literally become such good friends and I am so sad that she is leaving (yes, she, I am staying here in VH for a while longer). Presidente asked me today at a meeting that we had if I knew my area well because Hna Sol has been here for 6 months and it is very likely that she will be going. Well, we know what is happening this coming transfer! Transfers are on the 21 of this month, instead of on the 22, like they were supposed to be. They got bumped up because we kind of have one of the 12 APOSTLES coming to have a conference with Misiones Ciudad Central, Seur, and Oeste that day! Elder Quentin L. Cook!
Really though, Sem 11 is terrifying. I have to start and lead every lesson, lead planning, and lead companionship study. It is pretty much like being a trainer and it is so hard. On Friday, I have an exam of sorts. I have to go to a reunion de nuevos and teach Presidente and Hermana Brough. Ah! I´m just a little scared.
Motorcycles are DIRT cheap down here. Like, $80.00 US. No lie.
Well, I will be emailing on Monday next week because we are going to the Zoo on Tuesday!
Love you all and Happy New year!
