Week 88 - Escobar 2

This week was absolutely crazy. On Tuesday I went to the mission home for the meeting for the trainers and new missionaries. I got my new companion his name is Elder Martinez. He is from Paraguay. He is a convert of about a year and a half and is the only member of his family. He is 25 years old and a good kind of interesting guy. He has been teaching me lots of Guarani. So the first day here in Escobar 2 it rained soo much so that made for a good first day in the field for my companion. We have been contacting a lot and the ward is really big. They say that 150 people attend every week which is a huge number. We have knocked the door of several active members without even trying to which was funny. On Thursday President Zuniga made a conference call to everyone and sent us to buy a huge amount of emergency food. So we went to the market with a huge list of supplies and food that they had given us and went buying a bunch of stuff. The corona virus really got to Argentina and all the people are freaking out. On Friday we had a district meeting in the stake center and we had to take a bus for an hour and a half to get there since this zone is so dang big. We got news on Saturday that all church meetings were cancelled. So they told us that a church visit could count as bringing a friend of the church to a member's house, taking the sacrament, and doing Come Follow Me. We aren't sure how long there is not going to be church so we are going to have a ton of people go to a member's house. There is a possibility that we have to stay inside our pensions but I hope that does not happen because we would probably die of boredom.
