This week was pretty good and very long, we have been having some difficulties filling the days with productive activities because we still don't know a bunch of people or the area very well.
A funny thing that happened this week, is that we were teaching a really good lesson to a 30ish guy who let's just say, has a couple screws lose. We were teaching the First Vision and it was really cool, he was understanding, and paying a lot of attention. We described it, and right in the middle of it he says "Wait a second, I have a question", he stares me right in the eyes and I think he's gonna ask a really good, spiritual question, but then he says "You're from the US right, whats your opinion on Bill Clinton?", I just pause for a second and then say "Well I don't know and I don't care".... ahhhhhh. That was funny. I'll keep you posted on the progress of this guy whose name is Gabriel.
Saturday, the sisters in our the ward had a baptism but the water didn't work, so we got there like 10 minutes early, because the font was barely filled, so we had to haul buckets and buckets of water to the font, but we made it in time because everyone in Argentina shows up 30 minutes late, including the guy who was getting baptized
Sunday was the highlight of the week. We did splits with the members all Sunday afternoon and taught some good lessons and found a couple new people to teach. I went with a 23-year-old who is preparing to go on a mission, after many years of being inactive. He has a really good story of how he came back to the church, along with some other funny stories of bar fights, and stuff like that. Anyway, nothing really exciting this week. We have a Zone conference Thurday so that will be fun
Questions:
I don't know, probably 25 blocks?
Walk
Probably less than 30 minutes in car
The mission hires taxi drivers
No, we are working on that
Yes
He's funny, and we have a lot in common i guess
