Aug. 12. 09

So how is everybody doing with being sick? Things this week were good nothing really happened besides 3 baptisms. The parents and oldest daughter in the familia franco got baptized and I got the privilege to baptize them. It was really cool and my comp and I made brownies for afterward. There were a couple of cakes as well and it went really well. Hopefully we will have a couple more the 29th of this month. We also got to go to their wedding in the Registro Civil it’s the name for the place they do it. And when they walked outside afterwards we followed Argentine tradition by throwing rice. I got it on video but I’m not going to send pictures this week because the computers are going way to slow. The wedding was pretty cool I guess it would be the same in the states in the court house there were two witnesses and they read whatever it is they read like the legal stuff and your married. It was fun. We also went on divisions with the other elders in our district and it was fun we spent the day in Concordia because my companion had to do a baptism interview. It was fun I got to meet some of the families they are teaching. So we have these vitamins that the president’s wife gave all the missionaries and they have like cabbage and spinach and things like that in with the vitamins and they have been giving all the other elders gas. Fun!!!!
The water gets turned off certain days and weeks but you don’t know when because they clean the tanks kind of like the big one in Florence but they turn the water off and they rotate between barrios or neighborhoods. But oh well it happens right. Oh also it doesn’t matter when you send the package because it gets sent to the mission home and I will get it at a zone conference. Also on the package when you write the amount its worth in American dollars don’t put a big amount on it since I have to pay a tax on that amount. It’s just these things don’t exist here. They don’t even have root beer because it tastes like a medicine they have so the people think it’s gross. Oh you could send some Kool aid packets. and anything else you think would be good sorry I’m talking about this again but I thought of a few more things the other day but just these things also and nothing else. Oh teriyaki sauce promise that’s it. So has it been hot there. The last couple of weeks it’s been getting warmer and warmer and yesterday and today it’s been hot. So I think were in spring and their spring is a little bit hotter than our spring. And then it will be summer I guess it gets in the high 38 degrees Celsius to the mid 40s which is from high 90s to like 110. So the summers here are defiantly hotter than the states. Well I love you all and you all be good and stay out of trouble.
Love you all Elder Herold.
