Que transitas por tus venitas gueras?

Everything is going great here in Espars! The work is really taking off. We found five more investigators this week! And it's great because they are all in families. It's so great to see these families increasing their faith in Christ so much. Speaking of, we have a double baptism scheduled for this weekend, a mother and son, Victor y Zulma! We are super excited for them, and they are so ready! We miiiight actually have to move it to next week purely for logistical reasons, but they are going to be baptised very soon regardless.

Los Elders.

Yesterday was fast Sunday, and it was a good way to kick start our diet. We bought about 10 pounds of chicken and 5 pounds of rice, and we pretty much cooked it all the other night and froze it, so now whenever we need a quick lunch, we can throw those in the microwave and have a good healthy cheap almuerzo. Hopefully I don't get too tired of chicken and rice tho.

All of our foods.

On Tuesday night, we were pranking some other Elders who live near us by making their bike rack lean over slightly(#prankd), and all the sudden a little Mexican flies in through my car window as I was driving away, then after all the dust settled I realized it was my papi Elder Guzman! He is those Elders' Zone Leader and they were on exchanges, so we got to talk and stuff for a while. Fun!

There is this area in our area that missionaries haven't visited for a long time because it looks like it's all industrial stuff, so there would be no houses there. Well Elder Gonzalez and I felt inspired to drive around it (since we had some extra miles), and we found a super neat-o little trailer park! And as far as trailer parks go, this one was super cool and nice, especially for a trailer park that it full of Hispanics. Since this whole area has like zero potential investigators or former investigators or even members on record, we kind of just started from ground zero and tracted/street contacted a bunch of people yesterday! We didn't even get like a fifth of the way through because we kept having awesome conversations with tons of people! We have like 3 return appointments next week for that area now, yay!

We visited some members on Thursday, and they had these freaking perrecitos (babby dugs) that were sooo adorable, like 2 weeks old or something! We tried to get a picture, but apparently whenever Elder Gonzalez gets a camera in his hand, he loses half of his brain cells, because in all the pictures it just looks like I'm holding a little black turd or something because it's so blurry.

Count the cats.

My Spanish is improving quickly and It's really exciting. Elder Gonzalez and I are setting apart certain times to only talk to each other in Spanish, and it helps a lot. As well, I made a little goofy mistake the other day at dinner. So I was reading a scripture and it said "Por tanto ..." which means like, "And behold," or, "Therefore," but I said "Por tonto," which means basically, "Because you/they are stupid." So the Argentinian family there got a good laugh out of that. But it is improving poco a poco. And I got some compliments when I bore my testimony yesterday. Maybe its just pity for the new gabacho, pero me vale.

Not much else is goin on other than the work here is amazing and I love paisanos.
