fua... una semana mas... Like in the Mtc, time doesn´t seem
to function properly here in the mission field! Sometimes, i´ll look down at my
watch to see that the time has jumped forward about 15 or 20 minutes, and
sometimes it hasn´t moved more than 5. It´s really hard to explain, but
oh well, no importa. One fun thing that I want to share is regarding
music (also, i don´t remember if i´ve mentioned this already, if so, sorry,
but... They listen to a TON of music in English down here! ¡En serio!) Well,
Elder Cedeño and I were listening to some of the music on my Ipod, and at one
point, we were listening to Scott Rivers´s album. (¡Que Bueno es eso!) Anyways,
we were listening to that one night, and it was flippin fantastic!
So, the next night, it was about that time again, and Elder
Cedeño said: Let´s listen to Roger Waters!! Jajaja! Maybe you had to be there,
but ya, pretty funny!
I´m still getting used to the fact that I´m in
Argentina. It´s just so weird sometimes! I´m working right now to try to
think in Spanish more, but it always comes down to the structure.
Sometimes, it´s exactly like English, but sometimes, I need to switch things up
a bit. There´s that, and I´m working on focusing more so that I can
consistently understand what people are saying. I understand enough to
follow the conversation, but still, there´s a ton of random words that I don´t
know, and those trip me up!
Well, this week has been pretty long, and some days pretty
rough. One day, I woke up and thought to myself, I don´t think that I can
handle today... That morning was filled the my prayers to the Lord, asking for
the strength to handle what was ahead of me. Well, I can definitely testify
that there is power in prayer, because that day was one of the best that i´ve
had in the field! I learned a ton (both Spiritually, and in Spanish) and just
was enjoying the day!
Well, once again, thank you all for your support, I love you
all, and pray for you every day!! Hurrah for Israel!

"a piece of cake, to
show you that i´m not starving."
