Argentina: Where the car in front of you isn´t going fast enough, so you simply run into it. Where it's weird to see a dog ON a leash. Where old men hitting on you is normal. Where the yogurt is so liquidy (is that a word?) that they drink it. Where there are diapers everywhere in the street (AND DOGS EAT THEM). And where I am living for the next 16 months. WHERE AM I?!
This week was a little bit better. The homesickness is still way real. And I know it won't get better anytime soon.. and I'm not really sure what to do about that so oh well. But there are times where I'm reminded of a bird I saw one time driving in OR and I get homesick.. like what? Bleh.
So this week... Pres. Gonzales of the Seventy came to speak to our mission but it was all in spanish so I couldn´t tell you what he said. Then after I found out I´m related to an Elder Phair here! From family on my moms side, his dad is Greg Phair and his grandpa is Gary.. Small world!
Then we had stake conference on Sunday.. and also my first baptisms! Aylen, Nahir, Morena and Valentina were baptized. It was so awesome. Also my comp and I sang at there baptism.. and those of you who know me really well know that I DON'T SING so you can imagine how that was. I made no-bake cookies for the baptism and the two american elders in my ward said they made them so homesick because they're their favoroite cookies. And all the members asked for the recipe hahaha
Thats pretty much it. Spanish is getting a little better. I can understand more but still can't speak haha. The food here is SO GOOD so expect me to come home with 50 extra pounds.
I miss you all. This is super hard. It´s already easily the hardest thing I´ve ever done in my life. But I know its where Im supposed to be even if I don´t want it. But I trust God.. so here I am..
I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Prestwich
Aylen, Nahir, Morena and Valentina
