We went to the funeral of our sweet friend Zulema today. She was a member of the ward here in Villa Allende and we'll miss her a lot. As members of the Restored Church of Jesus Christ we have a distinct look on life and death. I know God has a plan for every one of us. We didn't only come to earth to live and die and go to heaven or hell. There's so much more and I'm grateful for the Savior who makes it all possible.
But to sum up the week, it was American Independence Day on the 4th and then Argentine Independence day on the 9th! We had a choripaneada at the chapel to celebrate and danced traditional Argentine dances and ate! And there are a lot of people who use horses as transportation and they had a little 9th of July parade!! Literally I've never seen that many horses in one place.
Our new friend Renzo wants to get baptized but his family hates us! It is honestly so interesting the way some people treat us like we're aliens coming to brainwash them. You smile at them and ask how they're doing and they just smack ya down. Pray my charm and winning smile gets to 'em... just kidding. We'll see how it goes with time.
We are also starting to teach the rest of Willy's family!! Vamos!!
In other news:
I twisted my ankle real good this week
We hit a new record of times being told we shouldn't be out on the street in these neighborhoods alone haha...
Got to teach with our district leaders in two lessons!! They live in the area next to ours so we're constantly finding people in each other's area so we had two pass off lessons this week which was so fun!
But that's about it!!
OH AND I ALSO FINALLY BROUGHT MY RED PAIR OF SHOES TO GET REPAIRED SO SOON I'LL BE BACK TO HAVING TWO PAIRS OF SHOES!!! (I don't want to buy new ones because I go home in FOUR months...)
