Today is yet another holiday in Argentina, so there were no cibers open this morning.
So I guess as you already know, Elder Pereira is leaving the area, and I´ll be staying in Castillo and training a new elder. It was definitely a surprise to me when they told us the news. Today in the mission offices I took a peek at the pictures of the new elders that are coming, and it looks like it´s very likely that I´ll be training a Gringo, which will be interesting.
For the meeting with Elder Gong, Hermana Resek told us we should all take our suits to the dry cleaning. So last saturday we took them in. We only took one suit each because we were all low on money. We picked them up on tuesday, and it costed us 600 pesos each. So basically none of us have money for the rest of the month haha. Well on friday Elder Gong came and it was pretty sweet. We were combined with the North mission and the elders from the MTC. I saw Preston Willie when the MTC missionaries walked in. Now that I think about it, I probably also saw the elder that I´m going to train. The meeting was really good. When Elder Gong arrived, we all got to shake his hand. When he spoke there was no denying that he had the Spirit and that he was a special witness of the Lord.
Since we have our district meetings in Ramos Mejía, where the mission offices are, we got to see the missionaries that are going home. One of them was Elder Pietz, my trainer. It´s hard to believe he´s already going home. I remember when we burned one of his shirts when he hit the one year mark haha. We talked about Mariano Acosta and it brought back some good memories.
Anyway, I don´t have very much time because it´s already about 6 here. I´m sure I´ll have more stuff to say next week.
