Another week!! This transfer is already halfway over, wow. I have some cool stories to share!First of all, I have been having lots of "asados" or barbecues!! So stinking bueno. The other day at the bishop's house, he gave me the filet cut. Most incredible piece of meat ever. There's also lots of pasta here with heavenly seasonings.One day after visiting the Vega family, who are inactive members, a homeless man signaled to us to come over. He mentioned his name, "Segundo Javier Torres", and then just told us about his life story. It was really interesting to talk to such a genuinely-charactered person. After some time he said with tears in his eyes, "I just want nice clothes. I want clothes like you missionaries." That really touched me. Then at the end of the conversation he said "thank you so much for listening." Some people just need a couple minutes of your day to make everything better.It rained a ton one day this week, and we were about to head home 10 minutes early because the situation was just difficult, but then Elder Manrique said "one more house." And so we went. We found an awesome guy named Darío who was really receptive to what we were saying. I learned that disobedience is literally selfishness. If we went home 10 minutes early, we would not have only affected ourselves.About Genaro, we haven't been able to meet with him because he works so much, but I will keep you all updated!Mucho Amor,Elder BurnsP.S. I can get DearElders!! :)
