Week 21~

Dinner with the other gringos that live in Feliciano. They live way out in the campo for a service mission. James and Jolene Ficklin! We had peach cobbler and beef stew and all sorts of american things. It was incredible


This week was super good as usual. We have had pretty much no success finding people that want to listen to us and many many failed appointments and rude people, but its all good! It makes me sad that people don't give us the chance to share with them the joy that we have but at the same time I know I am doing my part. I am learning more how to handle the rejection and just keep working, searching for the people that are waiting for our message. 
I was feeling a lot of weight the past few days from all of the rejection, but yesterday it all went away. I have really come to understand better the power of the atonement and the opportunity we have every sunday to partake of the sacrament and start over. Leave everything behind that happened in the week and just start fresh. I have really been feeling that on the mish. I get so excited for sundays because I truly feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders every time I take the sacrament. So that has been a great lesson for me and has strengthened my testimony of the importance of keeping the sabbath day holy and going to church. 
I am trying to learn how to cook more and more and this week I made tacos which were super good. I found some sauce that is like tabasco sauce in a store and even though i didn't even like that before i came here, i was super excited about it because its kind of american and the food here lacks flavor a lot of the time so I put it on everything. So yeah I made tacos and they were really good. Elder Cac enjoyed them too because here no one eats anything spicy ever. So we made them extra spicy.  Last night there was a big soccer game between the two best teams in  Argentina and every time something big happened the whole town erupted in yells ans cheers, haha it was nuts.  All of a sudden everyone was just yelling.  It made me excited for the world cup, but also a little nervous cause it is going to be crazy.  Everything is super good as usual.  I am happy and healthy and learning a lot.  I know I am super blessed and have so much to be grateful for.
