Monday we finished up like a normal pday.
Tuesday we had a lesson and then went over to the hermanas apartment because the were having trouble with the water flooding their apartment. We looked at why it would be flooding and noticed that all of the downspouts had been plugged. Come to find out the spouts were draining into the neighbor's yard and he didn't like that. So instead of running the pipe into the drain on their porch, they just plugged them all. Therefore when it rained, the water just overflowed the gutters and spilled over and into their sliding door, and then into the apartment. We ran to a hardware store and got a 12 foot piece of 4" PVC pipe, 2 elbows, and a tee for 180 pesos (or like $10)! That's soo cheap! But anyways we got it fixed and wow, it works! Until the next problem hermanas! After we fixed the pipe we ran and grabbed our stuff from our pension and went to the terminal. We got on our collectivo to Resistencia and a few hours later got off and went to Elder Daniel's apartment to sleep.
Wednesday and Thursday were all in Resistencia getting my paperwork done for my ID here. Lots and lots of sitting. We got back to Mercedes late Thursday evening and were able to have a charla with Adela she should be getting baptized this Saturday!
Friday we went to Curuzu and had district meeting. Apparently the company who we usually use to go back to Mercedes doesn't go back so we had to change companies and they were like an hour later so we went and got ice cream!
Saturday we had two great lessons and also talked to one of the sisters in the branch who just got back from receiving her endowment. She was so happy and it was awesome! When we were leaving from her house we walked out and there was a giant go kart race going on and so we stopped and watched it for a few minutes and got some pictures and videos!
Sunday I gave a talk in church about the fortifications of Captain Moroni (my favorite BOM person) and how we can use his example to protect our lives and families from Satan. Moroni protected the Nephite cities with dirt walls, timbers, pickets, and towers. Like him, we can go to church (dirt walls), read our scriptures (timbers), say our prayers (pickets), and always be watching ourselves and our situations to be ready for temptations of Satan. We had an activity Sunday night and were supposed to bring cinnamon rolls so I start making them and realize that we didn't have enough milk or any eggs.... soo I just put some water in and substituted in mayonnaise (its egg right?) the dough didn't taste too bad so I let it rise. 20 minutes later, it hadn't changed at all.... bad yeast. Sooo we rolled them out into tortilla type things and brought them to the activity hahaha! They tasted pretty good.
Monday we got up at 3 in the morning and caught a bus to Resistencia for transfers. Sat there all day, and came back with my new companion, Elder Fisher, who roomed with me in the MTC!
Thanks for all the letters and support!
