What a week!
Wednesday morning Hermana Salazar left for home and we spent the morning cleaning up, organizing a bit, planned for the week, had lunch, had lessons with Daniel and Gerardo and had our correlation meeting. More or less normal.
Thursday morning we had zone meeting. We traveled 30-45 minutes to the chapel in Ballester and there wasn't any light. SO we had to travel 30 more minutes to Jose Leon Suarez and have our meeting there. Then we traveled another 40 minutes to lunch and another 20 minutes to visit Gerardo and some other people in that area. That night the office elders, Elder Pereyra and Elder McLain, brought us some stuff for our apartment.
Friday I had to do tramites (paperwork for Visa) - hopefully for the last time - so i can get my Argentine DNI. That took forever! We had to be at the mission office at 8:30 and travel 1 hr to Retiro, wait in a bunch of line and we finally finished after some hours. We had to go back to the mission office but on the way we stopped at a member's house for lunch. After we went to the offices to drop off the papers and pick up some new stuff for our apartment. There is another apartment here in VIcente Lopez and we talked to Elder Pereyra and Elder Lines about the bills that we needed to pay for the other apartment and see what it was like and the possibility of us moving there. So we got back to the apartment, dropped off the stuff, and went by the other place to see how it was. The last people who had lived there were Elders. We entered and it was a DISASTER! I was shocked at how Elders could leave a pension (apartment) in such a MESS! We were talking to the administrator of the building, and turned around and there was a FREAKING CAT LIVING IN THE APARTMENT! Scared the bajeebies out of me. Ww checked to make sure it was the only thing living there and then got someone else to get it out. He said that it seemed like a house cat that got loose and entered because the Elders left a window open. And the cat left a nice little present in the bathtub. And it started rubbing against my leg like it thought it was MY cat or something. I don´t like cats. There have been only 5 cats in this whole world that I have liked - Aunt Pat's kitties! There is no way i am going to move into an apartment where a cat had been living. QUE ASCO (YUCK)! Also the light in the kitchen was left on so we tried to turn it off and we couldn't because the wiring was bad. The Elders didn´t say anything to anyone about it so we got the bills and left.
Saturday we saw Daniel and Gerardo again. They were good lessons and on Sunday they both attended church. We had Ward Committee Meeting (Ward Council - Leadership in the congregation meet to discuss how to serve and meet the needs of the members) then afterwards we had lunch with a North American family. They had JIF PEANUT BUTTER! Oh man I was in heaven. They also made pizza and it was yummy (to defend my self the tomato sauce here is better than in the United States.) and chocolate chip cookies too :) It was super fun and my companion enjoyed a typical American meal.
And today we are going to go shopping for winter clothes.
And yup that was my week. Gerardo is progressing well and is really excited for his baptism this sunday :)
