Another Week in March

eah, we heard about the earthquake on Thursday and someone told us 100,000 people had died. Well i don´t know where they got their news but i just saw this morning on a tv that 5000 were dead. which is it? I was kind of worried about Kyle, but for some reason, i just felt like he was ok. Maybe people will be more open to listening to us after this huge disaster but we´ll see haha.

In the zone, there are some missionaries who are working hard and others that aren´t. We´re putting a bunch of fechas which is really awesome. in the zone, we put like 12 new ones this week. But all of those fechas are from us and one of the two districts in the zone. The other district didn´t put a single one which is really frustrating. There is another companionship here in Caleta Olivia who works on the other side of the city but they live in our area and the other day, we were knocking the block where they live and saw their lights on. So we went to go see if they had just left their lights on or if they had gone home early. We knocked the door and no one answered so we were just looking into the window to see if they were there and we saw a package of mate that was open with a mate cup right by it (which is super against the rules) and the pench was a pit. so we knocked again and saw one of them poke their heads out from a back room and then both started running around, putting away the mate, hiding other stuff and then they finally opened the door. Neither had ties on and they were both wearing flip flops so they had obviously been there for some time. They had just decided to go home early for no reason and were just chilling in the pench. Oh we were so mad, there is no wonder they aren´t having any success. Ever since that night, it seemed to open the seal on them and we began to see a bunch of things they are doing against the rules and it´s just stupid. I´m glad i´ve never had a trucho comp, i think it´d be really hard. Maybe they´ll get transfered in a week and we won´t have to worry about them anymore.

In the zone though, we have a lot of baptisms planned for this week. we´ll be traveling around to do baptismal interviews and stuff so that should use up a lot of our time. I hope all of the baptisms go through, but Satan is working hard as well.

You asked if i have to pay when i go to pick up packages. I don´t. The packages always go to Neuquén in the mission home and then they send them in the bolsas all to the different zones and we go pick up the bolsas in the post office. We don´t pay anything.

anway, i hope things are all good there. We´re working hard down here! keep praying for us and try to share the gospel with anyone you meet. love you
