Hey fam,
It was a pretty good week. A week of goodbyes really, as
my comp and one of our zone leaders are headed home back to Peru after 2 years
of service. I ended up staying in the capital the majority of the week,
so not much news on the Aimogasta front. My new companion is Elder Reyes,
a 19 year old from Chile. He has 6 months in the mission. I have
been called as the new District Leader. So that will be fun.
Saturday the majority of the Zone got together at the Tanner's
house, and we had hot dogs and brownies at the transfers were read out
loud. That was pretty fun, about as close to a party as I am going to get
for the next year! It was a lot of fun though.
Sunday I talked on the importance of listening the prophet's counsel, and then spoke on the temple. The Cordoba Temple open house has
already started, so we are trying to plan a trip to be able to go and see that
in the next 2 weeks. It’s expensive, but it will be worth it. They
have pictures of the inside on Mormon Newsroom, it is really cool, you can
almost feel the spirit of the temple by just looking at the pictures.
The pension is worse than last week, now the water doesn't drain
in the shower, so today I will have to call a plumber and get that fixed.
13 people at church, so an improvement from last week.
Sounds like y’all had a great week, with Luke’s birthday and the
grandparents coming down to visit. I stayed with the other Zone Leader in
the capital since his comp was headed to Cordoba. All in all, 6 people
from the zone left in the bus at 1 AM this morning headed for Cordoba for
transfers. My comp got here at 6 this morning, I am running on about 3
hours of sleep. Something I studied this week...The Infinite Atonement. Just how deep the Atonement really is, it is quite
amazing. The most delicious thing I ate were the grilled hotdogs from
Grandpa Tanner. I have not gotten that package yet, but I will be looking
forward to it. The most interesting thing that happened this week was
that the bus last night started to leave, then they had a surprise Public
Transportation inspection by the government, so my old comp and everybody had
to get off, and I walked up to him and said "Welcome to Peru, is this how
you remember it?" (He always bashes on Argentina and how Peru is so
much better) we both got a laugh out of that. He was definitely one of those
guys who was ready to head home. That is exciting that Moises comes home
this week, I remember when he left, crazy that was 2 years ago!
Love you all!
