Culture Shock

The title tells you all. 

this whole last week was a bunch of just weirdness. but i am getting used to it and things are looking up. this week flew by. we are now just a normal companionship, the other got transferred. they do transfers in the bus station in rosario, you just get there and go. which is kinda cool i think. 

Contacting is fun. especially when all they do is reapeatedly tell you that they know everything that is holy or religious haha. or that god is great but religions arent and they are all of the devil. ha met that guy in a bus station. 

uh, we had zone conference this saturday. Oh if you want to tell Mrs. Anderson from the high school, she is a counselor. her nephew is here. he is my zone leader and i played golf with him a few times in high school. its nice at least having some one down here that i know. but yeah that meeting was really good. taught me a lot of what i needed. just give your mission to the lord and say what he wants you to. i read today in helaman 13 and 14 about samuel the lamanite how he got booted out of the city. well he was told to go back and teach what came to him. not teach this and this then say that. he even had to climb a wall!! the scriptures are just too fun. 

so we had investigators at church yesterday!!! that was the best. my companion went out to pick them up with a member, so i stayed at church. i wasnt sure if they would come but they did!!! apparently they had gotten up at 6 and gotten ready and everything because they didnt want to miss us. they are the cutest people ever. they are about 85 and just say si si si to everything. even questions. but then we learned its cause they have some health thing. but they understand us, just cant really speak too well. i love them so much. Julio is too funny. he made his first joke yesterday. hahaha he said yeah the lord has given me strength, im still handsome. haha hes funny. 

we are learning the language fast. its either learn it or be completely left to my own thoughts, and i can only be with myself for so long. hahaha but yeah i am doing great. everything is doing well. we gotta go buy some stuff. i decided to buy clippers and just figure out how to cut my own hair.... haha i will let you know how terrible that goes. it going well is not even an option...

and i found my card reader so there will be pictures today!!! yeah!!!  but dont worry. i am getting my tan on now and am determined to leave this place with only stage two skin cancer. haha
