Locro Loco

Hello! 

This week has been crazy...again! We are super busy here in Olavarria. Lots of fun things. Its was Argentinas 200th birthday on the 9th. We had a big ward Locro party and we invited a bunch of our investigators to it. I had no idea what locro was but i was down to try it. As soon as I saw it I was SO NOT DOWN. They basically just chop up a pig and throw it into a stew with some beans. There were like huge chunks of pic skin, some of it had hairs attached to it. NOPE. So yeah I tried some and almost died. Poor Hermana Bart had to eat most of mine. She is a saint. The whole ward ended up watching and laughting at me while I tried to choke it down. Not a fun experience. But its traditional and I tried it and I will never do it again. Other than that we've just been teaching a bunch! Spanish is coming. Sloooooooly but surely. The old people here are my favorite to teach. They all want to adopt us, so cute, sometimes it's tempting!  Have a good week! Thanks for all of the emails! 

The language is coming. There are good days and hard days but my comp is super great and patient with me and she has taught me a ton. Its hard to remember that I have only been here for 3 weeks and its okay that I'm not fluent. Deffinitely learning a lot of patience! Its really not that cold. I think the coat you got me is just like really good because I really haven't ever been that cold. Morning and nights are the worst but today in Centro I took off my coat and just wore a cardigan. We have lots of investigators and I am already so attached to them. It is slow to progress.  I just want to shove the gospel down their throats sometimes. Its like LISTEN THIS WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY JUST COME TO CHURCH.  I just wish they could just know what I know and then just get baptized. easy...

I am so sorry to hear about Brent! That breaks my heart. Of course he's still working. Tell that guy to take a break! I am praying for him and their family! I really do love being a missionary it is so fulfilling  I feel like my whole life has been a waste of time up until now. Haha funny how that works! I love you guys so much!

Locro Party

We made a cake for the Locro party.  But right before we left half of it ended up on the floor
