Bueno, so this week is hands down the craziest week I have ever had.
Tuesday:
I erased every photo I have ever had from my mission from my memory card on
accident and had a little bit of a breakdown.
Wednesday:
We worked like crazy and went to see Maria in the afternoon and ended up
putting a baptismal date for Saturday (the fifteenth). From there we started
calling people like crazy to arrange an interview and let the members know.
Thursday:
We ran around all day trying to let people know about the baptism and then we
received a call in the afternoon saying that my companion was leaving in a few
hours to handle her visa stuff in Bariloche (6 hour bus ride) so she wasn’t
going to come back until Friday night. We also had a clogged toilet from that
morning so our apartment stunk really bad. This was also my year mark and we
had made a legit cheesecake for the occasion. It was exciting and I am glad
that Walmart is in my area.
Friday:
I was with the sister training leaders (which one of them just so happened to
be my first companion here) and we had a zone training and then I had to find a
companion to stay with me because Maria was going to have her interview and the
sister training leaders had a ton of appointments. I ran around with my head
chopped off trying to get everything done before it was time to go get my
companion at the station.
Saturday:
We went to clean and fill the font but Argentina is a little/really ghetto and
the machine to drain the water didn’t work so the young women started to use
cups and buckets and ended up cleaning it for us. Then we left it filling up
with the Elders who called us later and told us the chapel had ran out of
water. We went a couple hours later to try to fill it up more with just cold
water at least and it stopped again. I stepped in the water and it barely
reached to the bottom of my knee. There was one more spout that still had
running water so we were filling it up bucket by bucket. We started super late
but the important thing is that she got baptized and all went well, even though
during the service my companion and I kept running in and out to try to dump
the water in the font and let another bucket fill up.
So
I had a bunch of adventures this week. We also found out that we have a new
apartment to live in and we will be moving sometime this week. We also have
transfers coming up this Saturday, and I think (unfortunately) that I am
leaving. I really hope that I am wrong, but I will accept the will of the Lord.
LOVE
YOU ALL!!!
