Week 17: Rodeo de la Cruz


Hello all!

Soooo, I have news about transfers. I am staying in Rodeo and receiving Elder Piedra from Uruguay!! I'm super excited. Those from Uruguay, Paraguay, and Buenos Aires are referred to as "Porteños". There, the Y sound is more of a "SH" instead of a soft J sound here. I hope that makes sense... haha. For example, "ayudeme" here would be "aw-joo-de-me" (more or less) and there it would be "aw-shoo-de-me". The accent doesn't matter too much, but I think it's interesting.

This morning I said goodbye to Elder Manrique. Sad but happy times.... During all this week, we were inviting investigators to come to church to listen to him sing (he sings RRREEE bien, very well). We got 5 investigators to come!! The trick is to show them what the church is like, and however we can do that, it would be for the better. Elder Manrique is officially gone, but we have lots of potential baptisms and I'm excited for this next transfer.

I'll explain the people in the pictures! The picture of the family in the house is the Marinero family. The picture of the mother and daughter with her friend is Julia, Belén, and Lucas, I'm not sure what their last names are! And the last picture is Elder Manrique and I on a train track that we found. Such an amazing view when the mountains aren't covered by clouds!

That's all for now. I love you all!!! :)
