hey mama that's toooooo funny and just for dads state of mind i trashed it right after i got off the plane in Argentina. sooooooo Argentina is absolutely gorgeous i still cant believe i live here. so i got off the plane with all my gringo buddy and thank goodness we had a native speaker in our group because it was a little crazy. Argentina security is total crap btw i totally accidentally had by Leatherman in my bag on the plane with me haha. so i get to Argentina Buenos Aires then we take another plane to Córdoba then at Córdoba my mission president picked us up and took us to his house witch is literally connected with the temple grounds. the next day we went and did some tracting in a couple parts of <<<<<dt Córdoba and it was hot and hard hah then he assigned us a area and trainer. i got the KILLER guy !!!! his names elder calvi and he's a total native from Buenos Aires which is killer cause it makes me speak a ton of Spanish which is what i wanted i also got sent to this KILLER area called capilla del monte its BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLL its out in the countryside which is also what i wanted its this small little hippy town that reminds me a ton of flag. its funny tho because like everyone here smokes marijuana and when their high and speaking it sounds so funny !!! but the Members here are AMAZING people! everyone lets us in and feeds us even if they barely have food for themselves. like yesterday we stopped by the house of this huge less active family and it was their daughters birthday so we sing and they cut the cake and before they serve the birthday girl the mom cuts off 4 big ol slices and hands them to us first....... seriously i was shocked i cant thing of anyone in America except maybe aunt tiff who would serve the missionary's before the birthday girl. its just amazing and then my first day we go to visit so other family's who have fallen away and they live in these little shabby brick homes and they don't plug anything in so they don't have to pay for electricity and we walk in and this sister just starts turning on all her lights and brings out a ton of food and juice and water for us.. i started to tear up i was like dang after living here 2 years im gonna be prepped to live anywhere in the US! our house is really nice compared to most its right by the rio and has a sweet view of the mountains! i also got a calling as a second counselor to the bishop! crazy right ! because their aren't enough men to serve in those positions the missionary's do it hahha seriously cray !
so fun facts:
DOGS AND CATS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!! they just wonder the city seriously their are more animals then people!
also because we don't have a chapel we get to baptize in the FLECHIN RIVER HOW SICK IS THAT!!!!
i also get to watch Disney movies on my Pday and play soccer every Saturday with the members
Things I've learned
Spanish is ridiculously hard to speak understand and read especially with the crazy argentine accentThings I've learned
according to the other elder i live with your not a real missionary until you 1 crap your pants 2 get attacked by a dog 3 accidentally swear during a lesion because you say a word wrong he then proceeded to tell me that he has become a real missionary 3 times hahahahahahaa
