Disfrutar las pequeñas cosas

Wow, what a week! It´s really interesting, because sometimes, life is terrible here, and other times, it's wonderful.  I stress myself out way to much, so i´ve realized that I really need to enjoy the little things more.  One small thing that I can enjoy about the language, is that my accent is pretty flippin good.  A ton of people have told me that, and in our last Reunion de Zona, one of the missionaries from peru told me that he could barely hear the accent at all, so i´m pretty stoked about that.  Now it´s just... vocabulary I guess... hahaha! Well, one other funny little thing is that I was on the train the other day, and this guy with an accordion just started going to town! It was awesome! Another thing that I can enjoy is the food.  Soooooo good! I love it! (Except for the occasional blood sausage...) But still, i have been sick once or twice.  But, i´m alive, so that´s good!
I´m pretty much at the point where I can understand and follow conversations generally, and put in my 2 cents where I can.  But when People ask me a question, and it has one word i don´t know, i get thrown off.  However, i can consistently follow the conversations about religion.  The gift of tongues kicks in a bit more for that.  
We walk alot every day.  Like, a lot.  There´s a ton of ground to cover in between appointments, and we don´t have bikes. Pero, esta bien.  Oh, one fun thing is that I can sing a song called "Dramatic Song" by Tobuscus and nobody understands it! (Along with others) Still, they listen to a ton of music in English down here! It´s crazy! Oh, and if ya´ll want, go ahead and look up El Himno de Gran micción buenos aires Norte!
Anyways, la obra continua, continuamos para predicar a verdad a esta gente, y continuamente buscamos para la ayuda de Cristo. Yo realmente se que esta iglesia ES la Iglesia de Jesucristo, aquí en la tierra para ellos quien estén preparado a recibir la palabra de Dios. Estoy agradecido para esta gran obra, y para nuestro salvador, Jesucristo, quien esta a la cabeza de esta obra.  Yo he sentido el espíritu de Dios Diariamente, Y yo se que estoy exactamente donde yo necesito. ¡Dios os Bendecirá!

The other hymn he wrote to look up I couldn't translate so I couldn't figure that one out. 

I had a company who does package delivery in Argentina hook Josh up with some treats from home. Peanut Butter, Oreos, Skittles, Goldfish, Hershey Kisses. Sadly they didnt have Hershey Bars but at least he got a few things. I cant send him any packages from the US so this was the next best thing.
