This week was seriously so awesome!
Mon- we had pday! We ate some McDonalds. Nothing like some super expensive burgers here in Bariloche. But it was good. We walked around Centro a little. And My comp and I were able to visit an investigator.
Tue- We stayed in the pension all day today. My comp didn't feel good at all. So i just studied and rested a little.
Wed- We went out and contacted. We had some success with that. We moved the rest of the stuff out of the hermanas old pension. Also some elder from El Bolson came and stayed with us for zone training.
Thur- WE had a lesson but it fell through. We had Zone training and it was so awesome. Seriously it was incredible. We had a few more elders stay with us. So we had a total of 9 elders in our Pension...
Fri- We met our new president. President Casariego is so awesome! I'm excited that he is the new president! He is the missionary from the story in this talk
We also did our weekly planning. We tried to visit a few people but they werent home.
Sat- Well it SNOWED. We woke up and it had snowed that night. We did some contacts in the street. We then had a ward activity. We ate some Locro. It was pretty good. We went out to Dine Huapi to visit some people but they werent home.
Sun- WE went to church. WE had 40 people there today. But we also had 3 less actives come to church. We went and tried a few people but they were busy. And we came back to the pension because my comp started feeling really sick.
And it is snowing right now.
This week was really great! Hope all y'all have great weeks

1. How did interviews go? Did Both Presidente and Hermana Casariego travel to Bariloche? Was that the first time you have met them? I wish I could've gone to the Lovell's homecoming today.
it was good. it was more of get to know president more than interviews. we did get a few minutes to go up and talk with them both. they are super awesome! I really like them. it was the first time i met them.
we had zone training this week also. and we studied the talk Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, again. President Casariego is the missionary from the story. And we as a zone put a goal and committed ourselves that we will baptize 89 people by the end of the transfer. and elder Maluenda and I will baptize 5 people by the end of the transfer. I don't know how we are going to do it. But I have faith it is possible. We can do it. We have to do our part and the Lord will do the rest.
