Week 13 - Boulogne

What's up? Another good week in Buenos Aires. We had such a crazy week this week, but the highlight was that we baptized and confirmed Milagros which was sweet. Everything went super well with the baptismal service, before and after. Except for one minor thing that happened before, haha, as we were filling up the font I opened the window right next to the font because it was getting steamy, but the window fell down on my thumb and literally like chopped off part of my thumb and started gushing blood into the font so that was kind of crazy, but anyways back to the point, Milagros baptism was really awesome and very spiritual, Elder Telis baptized her and then I confirmed her on Sunday. Then later Sunday night she texts us asking us what she needs to do to prepare to go on a mission herself and Elder Telis and I got so excited, and plus as a bonus she's going to make us some really good Peruvian food next week!

Everything else is going well, we have got some other good investigators, and we had ten investigators at church on Sunday which is a lot. My favorite is this father and son and they're really interested in strengthening their family and they're both capos. [Really cool] 

 

Hmmm, trying to think of funny things, on Tuesday there was a ton of protests and strikes, so there was no public transport, whatsoever, so we hired a taxi to get to our area and we felt pretty cool for doing that.

Oh yeah, on the train ride back to our areas we were with Elder Palacios and he's trying to learn English and anyway he bent over on the train, and then he was like "uh oh Elder I have accident in my pants" and i just look at Elder Johnson and I'm like, "what really??", but it turns out he was just trying to say that he ripped his pants, so we had a good laugh out of that. Yeah, everything is good down here in Argentina nothing to complain about.

for family:

Everything is good, can't complain, the Spanish is getting better every week, I miss you guys, hope everything is going well!
