Some stories from the week: it got too cold too fast. I was (not) sleeping without a blanket because our apartment did not have enough, we don't have heaters and I didn't have too many warm clothes. I'm tryin to find me some thermals, but no success yet. I traveled to a town called Cura Brochero to visit and work with the family who speaks English who lived in California for a period of time. While there I saw a four year old pooping in the street and when four large gringos (four white missionaries) turned the corner and saw him and what he was doing he was terrified and ran off. I knocked more doors than I ever have in a week and had less success than I have ever had. I tried a wayy good homemade alfajor. And the ice cream nazi struck again!
That's crazy to think Harrison is home and so many of my friends are out serving(Hunter, Andrew, Alex, Robert, Jeremy, Stuart, Weston, D-Rise, etc).
Anyways, I love being here and am super grateful for this chance to serve. I am grateful for the support I have and for the five of you :)
Love,
ELMX
*Posted two pictures that Levi sent along with his e-mail. Found some graffiti on a wall which just happens to spell LDS (Latter-day Saints) so he couldn't pass up a great picture opportunity. Great pictures along with a buzz haircut. Enjoy!
Winter in Argentina can be cold, but actually I heard this winter is not being as cold as previous ones in the past years. Anyways, I guess that for you it must be a little bit worse since you don´t have enough heaters in your place. A few years ago, when I decided to go to BA, I was looking for apartments in Buenos Aires which had at least one heater since I knew Winter is rough.
ReplyDeleteI had the best time there though!
