Nate's Letter Home - July 29, 2019

Legendary P-Day and...... Moreno 3? - 29 julio 2019

Well it´s been an interesting one.

I think I´ll start out with our P-Day adventure. It all started out wednesday night when my comp and I ordered some empanadas because we were super hungry. We ate them and they were pretty good. Also, the 2 elders from Marcos Paz 1, who live like 5 blocks from us, came and stayed the night because we had plans to do stuff together for P-Day. Anyway, when we went to bed I noticed that my stomach was starting to hurt. I layed there for a long time and at one point I was actually able to fall asleep, but I only slept like an hour at most. I woke up and immediately got up and went into the bathroom because I knew what was coming. I threw up a couple times, and then went back to bed. Not even 5 minutes later, my comp gets up and goes into the bathroom and starts hurling. I was like, well, this is going to be a fun night. So basically we both ended up tag-teaming the bathroom the entire night. We went back and forth until like 11:00 am. I lost track of how many trips I took to the bathroom, all I know is that by my last trip I was so weak I couldn´t even stand up haha. It was a fun experience for all 4 of us. My comp and I felt like crap and were so weak that we couldn´t get out of bed for the rest of the day. It wasn´t until 6:30 pm that I finally got up from my bed, and that was mainly because my back was killing me because my mattress is terrible. So I´d say overall, it was a pretty fun day.

Oh yeah, so unfortunately Juan and Carolina still don´t have a wedding date. Last monday Juan didn´t go because he was sick. And then, when we visited them on friday, Carolina told us she had gone to the registro civil that morning, but when she got there she realized that there was a ¨paro¨, or a protest, so there was nobody working there. It would seem we don´t have the best of luck.

Alright, now for transfers. We actually never got the transfer call, because we still don´t have a phone, so the elders from Marcos Paz 1 had to come tell us what was happening for transfers. I will be returning to Moreno 3. Which if you don´t remember, that´s where I just came from. I will be with Elder Perez, he is from Colombia. It wasn´t really a huge suprise to me, because of what President told me in my interview last week. I guess I´m pretty excited to go back. 

Well that´s about all I got.
Have a great week!
