Pictures from a Fun P-Day

This is the infamous Zonda race track that we were able to see as we toured Zonda today.

This is actually a man-made lake up in San Juan that we got to visit. We obviously couldn't go in the water but we did have a lot of fun around it.

This is the road that leads to the man-made lake. With all of the palm trees you'd think we went to California for P-day.

Dear Family,
Thank you all so much for your letters, love, prayers, and pictures!!! We’ve been working here in Rivadavia, San Juan, looking forward to the baptism this Saturday of Nahuel and Cyntia. Almost every morning this week we went to their house to teach them the missionary lessons. Their sister, Marianela, who was baptized a week ago, said they’ve even been paying more attention to their parents and behaving themselves a little bit better. We have an appointment tonight to see how they’re doing and to continue teaching them so that they can be baptized on the 21st of this month. We’re all excited.
Today we were in Zonda which is just west of our area (according to the ward map it is in our area but according to the other people it isn’t in our area so we’re not sure). That’s where the infamous Viento Zonda comes from, a strong wind that can reach all the way down to southern Mendoza. There are tons of hills and caves which cover a large amount of land. There’s also a race track for professional auto racing that we were able to see from one of the hillsides. Unfortunately the museum was closed but we were still able to walk all over the place looking at an abandoned hotel which seems to be a popular location for Paint-balling now.
Ok, questions:

Jennifer: “I was wondering.. have you ever been chased by dogs down there?”

Just once have I ever really been chased by a dog but it gave up pretty fast. It was in my first area with Elder Parry but now I think the dogs are more afraid of us then us of them. You just bend over as if you’re grabbing a rock and they run away.

Lisa: “Describe the apartment you're in.”

It has a main room/kitchen with a bathroom and a bedroom. It’s not terribly large but it’s perfect for missionaries because it’s a lot easier to clean. We each have our own little table with a longer table in the middle for eating and companionship study.

“What is your companion like?”

Elder Rios is from Jujuy and likes having fun. He gets along really well with all of the members who are basically all his friends. He’s a really hard worker too. I never have to worry that he’s not going to talk to people on the street or not teach in a lesson.

“How do you get around each day?”

We mostly walk but we take bus whenever we have to go really far. We take the bus to “La Bebida” which is where most of our investigators live.

Mom:

“By, the way, we should ask what number do we need to call on Christmas day?”

The new number is [deleted! MUA hahaha! :) ]

Ok, I’m out of time but I love you all!!! Bye!!!
