Bring on the Gong - 12 noviembre 2018
Well I guess I´m pretty excited for this Friday, because Elder Gong is coming to visit us. I realized that this will be my first time seeing an Apostle in person. Weird that I had to come all the way out to Argentina to see one haha.
On Friday, it was simply too hot. We had interviews with President so we had to go into Ramos in our suits. I about died. We sweated it out all day. In the night we played soccer with the Quorum. I think it had to be about 200% humidity. Sweat kept dripping into my eyes, which burned. I could tell by the humidity that a huge storm was coming.
On saturday it rained a ton. And when I say a ton, I mean a ton. We were visiting this one family at about 12:30, and we had to leave for our lunch that was at 1:00, with a family that lived about 6 blocks away. Well, just a few minutes before we had to leave, an absolute downpour started. We decided to just leave anyway since we didn´t have to walk too far. Well... we made it about half a block, and after that, we realized that the dirt roads no longer existed, and that Castillo was now a giant lake. Long story short, we walked through knee-deep water in a downpour to get to our lunch. Luckily when we got into their house they gave us some clothes to change into. And we put our dripping clothes next to a fan so they could dry a little. It never stopped raining all day, so we just got wet again after lunch, and had to walk through some more deep water. Needless to say it was kinda hard to visit a lot of people on saturday. That night the bishop´s wife called and told us that the church had flooded and there were electrical problems, so we had to have sacrament meeting in the church in Los Pinos. So basically we didn´t get anyone to come to church this week, which was a downer. My shoes are still wet to this day haha.
This is week 6 of the transfer, so on saturday we are going to get the call to see what will happen next tuesday. I think it´s about 50/50 if I´m staying or going, so we´ll see. I think I want to stay one more.
I am fairly certain that a lot more stuff happened this week but I can´t seem to remember any of it right now. We are still trying to find more people, so hopefully we can have more success in that this week.
Hopefully you all have a great week.
