oh my goodness time goes by so fast here in the mtc! Im leaving this tuesday or wednesay for Paraguay! its unreal to think its already been over a month since ive been gone! and I have to start off with some super exciting news! Elder Holland is coming to the CCM this weekend and we are going to get to meet him! on thursday we are going into buenos aires to a stake center where hes going to speak to all the missionaries in the buenos aires missions and including the ccm and so theres going to be like 900 missionaries there! crazy!
Okay so our last full week here has been super great! me and hermana minks started a soccer league with like all the latina sisters haha we play everyday and we get into it! im like dying by the time our games are over haha we started that on friday, and then saturday!
we went proselyting for the last time and it was probably our sketchiest area yet but it was funny because on the bus ride there. there was soooo much traffic and we were looking at the people in the cars and we saw girls with justin bieber shirts on and posters and their faces painted, it turns out that justin bieber was in concert that night in buenos aries! haha anyways everyone we talked to kept telling us to be careful because our eyes are blue and this one guy took our map and told us all the places not to go in that area which was super nice of him! but best part of the day was we went to buy alfajores, (they are like the best treat you can get here in argentina) and we go to this little shop and we wanted to give this shop keeper a book of mormon, he honestly looked like he should be a member, he was so sweet! but right as we were about to give it to him like 3 people came up and we stepped aside and as those people were buying their cigerattes his phone started ringing and hma, minks thought maybe he was too busy but i told her no! satan is trying to keep us from giving this to him! so we waited until everything cleared out and we told him we wanted him to have this book, we explained what it was to him and bore our testimonies about it and he was so thankful he said he was going to read it that night with his wife when he got home! it was awesome!!
so the ccm has been full of spiritual experiences, honestly its all about feeling the spirit all the time but we do have some fun on the side which makes things less stressful. okay our roommates are the best! last night they were singing shakira and teaching us zumba in our bedroom haha they are all super good dancers and they said that its super popular all over south america! right now we have roommates from chile, costa rica, honduras and columbia.
okay and from bad food experience was the other day we were having lunch and it was turkey and it was just like big pieces of meat and then hma. sanders was about halfway through hers when she realized something was in her meat. it was a brain and a spine, she had gotten like the head and back and it was so gross! we thought hma. sanders was going to die, she was like white and she hasnt eaten meat since.
also i have to tell you how much we love our teachers! they are absolutely amazing! they have taught us so much and we were talking with hermano abad the other day and he takes the bus an hour and a half to get to work so he rides the bus 3 hours everyday to come to work and teach us and im so thankful because i think hes the best teacher here! he said hes going to come to the temple session with us today because they just got the new temple movie yesterday here so everyone here finally gets to see if for the first time! woohoo!
okay so that wraps up my week! i think we get to email again on monday to let family know our travel plans! talk to you guys again soon! the church is true! love you!!
