so i hit three months in this country today. so that was fun. i actually just barely realized that. but my companion is leaving. he got transferred to be a zone leader in Rosario. so that will be crazy. we go to the terminal tomorrow to pick up my new comp and drop off Elder Fernandez. my new comp is going to be elder ponce. i don't get how they do transfers here. we just meet in the bus station, swap around a little and leave haha. nothing like they do it in the states. but this way we dont have to lose a full day of work.
i am excited for this transfer. we have a lot of great people that we have found these past couple weeks.
Pray list. (cause i remembered today. and we need it)
Victor Espíndola y familia. just need to come to church dangit!!!!! we don't know why they won't come....
Mabel, she got mad we couldn't go in her house cause there wasn't a man. but she is super legit. we are giving her to the hermanas and split the teaching.
Miguel. church.
Brenda, so we can meet more and get her to church.
Jesus y familia. super legit family!!!! but man he is hard headed and she is too busy. her mom is Teresa, that little old lady that the sisters (really us) baptized. but yeah, we just got to really teach them something that will open their minds, and once again, church.
Aldeli: she is just a super legit contact that i am going to visit this week. so pray that all will go well there. she already has, uh, ganas, desires? to come to church, love her, she is in this letter a little later
CHURCH WITH ALL: it is the church that converts. my converts. they cant read or write. but they knew our church was true when they walked in. just by the feeling. and sadly that is the one thing these people here will not do...
so i was sleeping a couple days ago, and i heard a really loud hum, then all of a sudden something hit me in the face, i just said, what the!! and got up to turn on the light, just to see a cockroach about the size of your thumb running across my bed. so i got my shoe to kill it, well it went under the bed on the sheet, so i grabbed the sheet to pull it back out, and don't tell me how but a little later, when i couldn't find it, i felt something on my neck, yeah. it was on my back!!!!! haha needless to say i killed it, maliciously. =)
also i was in a dog fight. that was sweet. of about 15 dogs. and i mean literally i was in it. like they were hitting my legs as they battled. we were mid contact when it happened, we just stood there for a while. haha it was funny. but we were chill during all of it. that was fun
oh, it hit 47 degrees Celsius. so yeah. i don't know what that is but i know that 40 is already in the 100s so yeah. but i can translate that for you: HOT
so i have now a new resolve of why i am here.
i mentioned aldedi. the sweetest old lady ever. lost her husband four months ago. well we were walking, rather late, but we saw her hobbling down the street with these little grocery cart things they use, so we talked to her. and at the end she just thanked us. thanked us for leaving the pamphlet behind at a door contact that wasn't home(which we never do) but one time we did and it was her and it was the plan of salvation. and that she just really needed to talk to us and that we helped her a lot. i don't know. just awesome. i love those little things.
if someone impacts you, tell them. it will help them more than you think.
love you all. keep the pics coming.
and oh, i get to go to an evangelical church this week. cause we told some lady that we would go there if she came to ours. and she did. but she said she liked ours more than hers. her name is Emilia.
oh and mom, nothing with the package yet. they usually take about 2 months. but letters are coming in about a month.
besitos!!!
Elder Whitaker
