Hola. Things are going good here not really a whole lot happened last week or the first part of this week. No cool or funny stories. Well Monday and Tuesday this week we got 5 new investigators, a dad and daughter who talked with the missionaries before so will see how it goes we challenged them to be baptized at the end of September. we’re starting to program everybody in the first lesson to see if the they or not my comp and I were reading a story about the missionaries years ago and how the missionaries along time ago in the church when they could baptize the same day but they in a sense would challenge the people on the spot to be baptized and that’s how the older missionaries had so much success. We also taught a husband and wife and they are really Catholic and they actually know what they believe which is kind of nice and they accepted the challenge to be baptized at the end of September also. The last person is a lady who is a catiquesta which is a catholic school teacher. She knows what she believes and has a really good knowledge of the catholic beliefs and she also accepted the challenge to be baptized the end of September. So we’ll see how it goes. Also the weather here has been weird as well this past week it got into the 80´s and the 90´s one day then it went back down to normal like the 40´s with misty fog and it feels freezing not 40´s but that’s because its humid. We also had an asado last week with a member. That’s an argentine BBQ. They do it over an actual fire outside it was really good the BBQ here is amazing the meat is just so tender it is so good. Also my comp saw a carpincu for the first time it’s a type of animal and I don’t know if I spelled it right but it’s about the size of a pig adult pig and it looks like a hamster so it’s a giant hamster. The people raise them for food and I guess it’s supposed to be really good but their going extinct so the people aren´t allowed to hunt them anymore but people raise them and breed them. Well that was my week not a whole lot happened well I guess I will talk to you next week I love you all and tell everyone I love them.
