Week 39 - Trevelin

So, what's new? 
We reorganized the apartment! 
Last week, we cut grass for a member! It was my first time using a machine to cut the grass! Because I never got to at home! But the people here cut their grass with weed wackers not lawn mowers, so we weedwacked the entire lawn! It was a good time! 
Oh AND three people asked me if Im from mexico this week! My spansih is getting better! they didnt askfrom the states, but a latina country!!!!!yay!!!!! 

How the weather?
Today its cloudy and a little cold! Its not been really miserably hot down here yet... but summers not over yet! 

Still summer?
It should be
Still hot?
It should be. Sometimes it is! 

Do you take your sleeping bag with you when you transfer or does it stay with the apartment?
I have to take it with me and thats the hardest part. I ended up taking a different, cheap, bad one with me this transfer cause I didnt have space haha 
How's the companionship?
Really really really good. 

The investigators?
Pamela is doing really well! The others have fallen through the cracks this week because they dont want to progress in the gospel, they just like having 2 gringas in their house 

Tell me what you say when you clap at someone's house. 
We say hi, we´d like to share about Christ with you. Its a message very important. or we give them a card and explain it and we end by asking for friends and neighbors. Its hard to trasnlate it haha 

Do the branch members feed you? 
3 out of 7 days of the week pretty consistently and 4-5 times if we are lucky! 

When do you have district meeting?
It depends on when the matrimony couple can do it. We didnt have one last week

Happy?
LIFE

Sad?
When people dont want the gospel

Funny?
The sick stories! 
Pamels´s husband said, Hey we have a surprise in the backyard! Last time, it was a sheep they were going to kill to eat for new years. this time! It was a hiorse!!! they are NOt going to eat it, but they spent time letting their two year old ride it... unassisted! So cool! I love this place.

Challenging?
Being sick and traveling literally all week

Friends?
Thats what the investigators want us to be more than anything else. But Hna Brown and I are besties. 

Well, we had zone conference on monday after pday so that day we werent in our area. then we got a call from the office to go to Neuquen the next day. So we left at 7 in the morning to go to neuquén and got there at 11:30pm because the government cut off the highways and we had to travels for some dirt roads and buses were delayed and everything but we did eat WAFFLES from the one gringo in bolson in our stop there, and the yummiest hamburgers in barilooche, churros froma a sketchy chilean man that were REALLY good, and bus food! 

Then, When we were coming back, Hna brown got a bad fever. She was sick in bed the whole next day and I had so much energy and reorganized the apartment, cleaned the oven, made layered jello, soup, etc. and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. 

I got sick the next day. That was rough. then it was sunday and we had the lesson  in relief society so we prayed really hard and went and then we tried to visit every single investigator we have. Only 2 of them responded. But it was all things considered a really good week!
