Hows everything going this week? This week flew by even faster than the one before and its crazy! This transfer is already half over and ive almost been out 7 months. Before you know it, itll be transfers again and hopefully ill be shipped out to a new area!
So first off, we were going to have those 4 baptisms last week, but they all fell through except for 1. Let me explain what happened. So we were going to baptize Silvia, Suzanas daughter, but she got interned in the hospital on monday for a sickness that she has that is worse than they thought at first. So when she got interned, her little boy Facundo got sent to his dads house which is kind of far away and we couldnt finish teaching him. And then Jessica wanted to get baptized with Silvia, and we decided to give her more time, cuz some stuff is still up in the air that needs to be fixed. So that kinda sucked. But we visited silvia in the hospital friday and she gets the results of all of her tests that they did to her either today or tomorrow so well find out exactly when she can get baptized.
But now the other baptism! Her name is Rosa Juarez and she is the wife of a less active guy who has been less active for 30 years. But one of her kids is a member and he goes to church regularly with his family. So she got baptized on Saturday and it was cool to see the son baptize his mom. It was all tender and whatnot after he baptized her cuz he kissed her on the cheek and they were hugging and stuff. So it was a good baptism :) They also invited us to an asado afterwards and what that is is the all time famous steak here in Argentina. And oh my gosh it was amazing! Argentino, Rosas husband, put down some money to buy all that meat! i took some pictures of it so you can see how they cook it and what not. But yeah, best steak EVER. She also got confirmed on Sunday and now she is a happy member :)
This past week we did zone wide divisiones, and so that means that every single companionship within the zone, someone went and someone came. So we all had new companions for the day. My comp was Elder Vallejos. I ended up not feeling good on tuesday night, the night before the divisions and then wednesday morning in the morning i threw up like 5 times and had diarrhea and all that good stuff. So my new comp and i basically stayed inside the pension all day except for district meeting and lunch. I had to suffer through watching them eat lunch and then i went and slept for like 4 hours. We did leave for like 3 hours at night, but everyone failed us anyways, so our division was basically worthless. i felt bad that he came here and then basically he had to stay cooped in the pension with me.
Oh and while ive been sick ive had diarrhea like mad. Its also super hot so its hard to keep sufficiently hydrated and i have lost like 6 pounds....I went and weighed myself the other day and i weigh freakin 175. Im like disgustingly skinny and i dont look good with it, especially cuz my clothes are all baggy now and dont fit me.
But other than that, it was a good week! haha were still working hard and we should have a lot more baptisms before the end of the month, so ill keep you all updated! Cant wait to hear from you all next week! Love you!
Con Amor,
Elder Sirrine
