Your Friend in South America

Hey all! 

Hm. I don´t really feel like there´s much to tell this week. Weird.*looks in her agenda to see what happened this week* Yeah, it wasn´t all that action packed. We had interviews and a meeting with the president, as well as intercambios, so we weren´t able to meet with as many people as we had liked, which is a bit discouraging. But most of the efforts for this week will be "taking fruit" per say, this coming week. We´ve got lots of citas set with new investigators, noches de hogar with members and menos activos, and I´m way excited to see where this week takes us. 

We also had Mauricio and Telma cancel on us this week, so that was a bit of a downer. But we did some service saturday morning for a less active whose mom is going back to Neuqen this week, so that was good. We also met with Hermana Liz, an investigator we´ve been working on. I guess I´ll tell a little about her, cuz there´s not much else to report. :) 

Liz is from Peru and has lived here in San Rafael for six years with her husband Jesus and her 4 year old Anabella. Basically she´s an investigator a little different from the others. Whenever we teach her, she always has a ton of questions, and doesn´t really like to take our word for anything. "where does the bible say that?" "Where do you get that idea?" That kind of stuff. Normally it would seem a little annoying, but it´s actually really great to know that she´s not going to just believe anything we or anyone tells her. We invited her again this last lesson to read the Libro de Mormon and to pray to know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. I´m excited to see if she was able to take the challenge. :) 

Hmm... what else. 

I´ll send some photos from Valle Grande when we went two weeks ago. It´s super weird becuase it basically looks like Utah. Hermana Keil, another sister in the zone, is also from Utah and as we were driving to Valle Grande we were like, This isn´t even Argentina. haha

Oh, so this week cayó piedras. Or in other english words, it hailed. But the hail here is huge. They say sometimes it gets as big as golf balls. Last night when it hailed they were about as big as my pinky nail, so not too huge. But yesterday walking around the Barrio there were leaves everywhere in the streets, and the trees were pretty destroyed. So that was exciting. 

Anyway, guess that´s everything. Have a great week everyone!
