Nuthin Much

dear family: 

well the shift key is sticky on this keyboard...as well as a few other keys, so forgive the typos, eh? 

if I could sum this week up in a song it would have to be this one (hey, all you barney fans, let me hear your best singing voices!) "if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what an argentina it would be!" 

...yeah anway, it was raining basically every day this week. so, the obra misional was a little difficult, and we didn`t get to see a whole lot of people. :( 

We did have the chance to meet with a less active family one day, and that went over really well. We were just walking down the street, trying to contact a referral I think, and we passed their house. I got that familiar feeling that we should knock, and at first i ignored it, but then i was like, hello! what am i doing? haha so we turned around and knocked so we did, and they let us in! they sat down the whole family, and we taught the plan of salvation. i pulled out my map of the plan of salvation, (the one i sent a foto to you mom, that i made in uspallata? that one.) and we went through all the steps. it was a good lesson, but the best part was that they came to the activity on saturday! i attatched a picture. :) 

As for the investigators, we`ve just got one for now. Macarena hasn`t been able to meet with us, so we might stop going for a while. sometimes that happens. she`s really great, but I don`t know if now is her time. no worries. we`ll be back. :) 

in other news, we`re right now working with an investigator named Daniel. I don`t know if i talked about him before. he`s the brother in law of our mission leader. the sister of our mission leader`s name is Cintia, and she recently had a baby, and was back in the hospital for a while because she had an infection from the birth. it was a pretty grave experience, and afterward they came to chruch, her, her boyfriend, their twins, and the baby. anyway, the mission leader`s dad has been working a lot with him, and he`s really great! He wants to be baptized, he told us, but he`s worried because he knows that he needs to stop smoking first, and doesn`t know if he can, so  we`ll be helping him with that. the good news is that this week we saw the mission leader`s dad in the chruch when we passed by, and we stopped by to talk to him. he told us that just that week he had gone with daniel to do some paperwork so that he and cintia can get married!!!!!!!!!!! WE`re so excited!!!!! It was really sweet because he told us that lots of missionaries had tried to visit with cintia and daniel, and no one had been able to visit with them. he said, thank you so much for getting into their home and teaching them. so, lots of prayers for him would be appriciated! he works a lot, so more than anything we just need to find a time when we can meet with him. 

Well, that`s about it for this week. the activity was really great too, it was like a carnival thing with lots of different games and prizes, and we made a picture frame for fun too. 

love you all! Have a good week!
