Week #17 - Animals and the White Torment

Hola amados amigos míos-

Today I am going to talk about what I would consider one of the better weeks of my mission!  Last week was a bit of a bummer.  The best way to get rid of that bit of a downer is to do what President Hinckley said, "Forget yourself and go to work!"

That's exactly what we did this week and we were more successful and happier as a companionship. In whatever thing you are doing in your life right now, whether it be working, school, or a Mormon mission, if you forget yourself and go to work, you will be happier.

This week we did something called the Tormento Blanco, which means "white torment." This means that all of the missionaries from the zone go to one area and work. It's a white torment because we all wear white shirts, and there's like 10 of us in 1 small town. Our mission president, Presidente Panzacchi came to interview some people in the zone this day too, so we got to talk to the Gran Panzacchi. He's super awesome. I would bet all mission presidents are awesome but just some of the things he does are super funny. He has a signature laugh that I wish everyone could hear. He is also the worlds scariest driver. Awesome dude. 

When we did the white torment, I found a small black kitty on the ground and took a picture with it. Excuse my face in this picture though.


The last thing I want to talk about is the legend, José Carlos. He is the guy pictured in the white jumpsuit. He is a recent convert of a little more than 1 week. He brought us to his friends house to teach. We ended up teaching a family of 6, and he was able to add his testimony to it. Be like José Carlos and share this message with your friends. 



That is all. This week was awesome.

I almost forgot 1 thing

Food update: Tacos. Tacos don't exist here. My companion and I, being from the U.S. and Mexico, the taco capitals of the world made some tortillas using corn that is for feeding chickens. They taste good, but the 2 times I've eaten them I got sick afterwards, so maybe it isn't the best food to eat. We ate tacos with the Branch president's family. They didn't really know how to eat tacos so they just used the meat with rice and potatoes, like true Argentines. My companion and I enjoyed the tacos, though.

That is all.
