So as awesome as soccer is, it's not that awesome as a missionary. And the time's begun now.... River and boca played this week and it was impossible to have people listen to us, or accept us. I'm not really looking forward to the world cup.... I really don't know if anybody is going to accept us in their house, but honsetly.
It was an exciting week though. We dyed my companions hair 4 times in less than 2 days hahaha. Funniest thing ever. She couldnt get it to go back to her natural blonde color so after sever attempts, and some really bad looking roots, she just went back to drak dark brown. She's sleeping with conditioner in her hair now with the fear that it will all fall out because of how many times we dyed it.
Also, people like randomly throw and explode little bomb things when somebody makes a goal in soccer. it's pretty intense. And really scares me haha.
We did exchanges with some hermanas this week and it was really funny when we went to a members house to do some service and for lunch.... she still wasnt there, but she calle dus and told us to just put our hand through the window and open the door.... So we totally broke into somebody's house this week. We left it nice and clean for her at least. It was a good laugh though to think how crazy it was to just break into a house in argentina with another gringa and just clean for a good hour and a bit before the member showed up. She's a super sweet old lady though.
So here's a few pictures... one is the little piggy that i robbed.... just kidding i made the elder rob it from it's beast of a mom so that i could take a picture. and then i cant see it really well, but i think the last one is the picture of the camino to the less active members house where we did the service project. That is what we call the "tomas".
To finish the week of my companion and I got some good food poisoning... It kicked in for me last night and for her this morning. That was a blast. Gotta love bad chicken.
Funniest story though was the old lady investigator that we are visiting. It was her birthday this week and we went to stop by with a cake and some members that have accompanied us to visit her. My companion had to go to the bathroom but Ermundina's (that our investigator) bathroom didnt work. So she gave my companion a bucket and told her to just use it in the kitchen and she wouldnt tell anyone... hahaha i can't even think about it without laughing! Tottally cant do the story justice, but just know that it was really funny.
anyways, i love you all so much! hope all is well!
