Dear Mom and Dad,
Pigue is nice, I like it here. However, it is
really small. Really really small. Like San Antonio Oeste small.Which is
a bit of a shock for someone who has spent the last nine months in
pretty bit cities. Haha, but it has been great. Pigue is most certainly a
branch, but one of the cutest little branches that I have ever seen. I
think it is going to be a very good last transfer. Hna Baker is doing a
little bit better. Physically she is still feeling a little yucky, but
it gets a little better everyday. We still arent leaving the house and
doing full days of work, but everyday we are leaving, and that is some
great improvement of where she has been in the past, and I am very
pleased with that. She is from Ogden, and her Moms name is Dawneen
Baker, and I think that you should friend her on facebook. Hna Baker and
I have gotten super super close, and I just LOVE her. We have been
friends for about six months now, and through Hna Baker I have sent a
couple of messages to her mom, and she is hoping to go to my non
homecoming. So you should be friends with her, she is GREAT.
In answer to your other questions, it is still pretty darn cold
here. In fact, if my letter is super short, I blame the frozeness!!! My
fingers are not moving as fast as I would like them too. It is so LAME.
And just so everyone knows, I am using capital letters to emphasize
again, because all of the keyboards in Pigue are STUPID and again, most
of the punctuation marks are unavailable to me. Dumb dumb... (Also, by
way of information, dumb has become my angry word of choice on the
mission.)
This week has been pretty good. It was a lot of getting to know the
area. Which consisted of Hna Baker and I getting lost. Alot. Haha. Which
is a really funny situation, as neither of us are really good at the
whole map thing. Which is why some very smart person invented a GPS, for
people like her and me. Unfortunantly, they arent available here, on
the mission, in Argentina, so we walk around with our maps, looking like
clueless missionaries, and people cross over to the other side of the
street to avoid us. Okay, that last part isnt true. The people here are
really nice. Whenever we need directions, they help us out. Just remind
me when I get home to show you how most Argentines give directions.
We do have one investigator that is golden. Her name is Miriam (and
yes, I was VERY excited about that). She loves reading the Book of
Mormon, and since she has started listening to the missionaries, about a
week and a half now, she has almost finished first Nephi and she has so
many questions, she just wants to know everything. She went to a
Catholic School run by nuns, but she has always felt a void when sh goes
to church, and she doesnt feel like the Catholic church has everything.
This woman is seriously fantastic. She came to church yesterday, and
she really liked it. Right now her fecha is for the first of september,
and I really think that she is going to get there. It is going to be
great. Please pray for her. I am determined to see her through. And
there isnt much time, so pray hard.
The other investigator that we have is named Leandro. He is going to
be an interesting one. But I really think that he will be able to
progress. He has just joined an Evangelico church, but is still kind of
looking for something. He has a fecha for the 8 of Setiembre, and I
think he also has a really good chance for progression.
It has been really fun to be with Hna McWhorter again. I didnt
realize how much I had missed that girl. I love her. We are having alot
of fun reminsing.
Supposedly, we are going to be having a Zone
Conference this week, but nothing has really been confirmed. I dont know
how it will go down. But it is really wierd to think that it would be
my last one. I just dont know how I feel about this, everythng is the
last, it is reall weird. I am excited though, becuase if we do have the
conference, one of the members of the area presidency would be coming,
and I always enjoy those conferences.
Well, Thats all I really have time for this week.And as I sit and
think, I feel like those are all of the real details anyways. I hope you
know how much I love you, because I DO!!!! Lots and lots. Love, lots of
love.
