Christmas in Argentina


The rest of Christmas was good but SUPER different! I can't say fireworks at Midnight is the same as snow and hot chocolate but you know- Its Argentina what can ya do haha. As you saw, I got my comp a barbie head that I found in the street and.... nothing else haha CHISTE I got her some Ping Pong paddles and a set. She was super happy. She got me a cowgirl keychain cause she says I'm the coolest cowgirl she knows. 
 
Mom- thanks so much for the money to buy gifts. We ended up buying a bunch of little things and a couple kids something bigger.

  Gabu, a recent convert in Primary is the sweetest little soul who loves basketball, so we got him a real nice basketball hoop that he can nail to his wall. I will never forget his expression when he unwrapped it :)
Funny note: We've been visiting this elderly man who we are teaching how to pray. He always does a good job with us there but then he forgets to say them on his own. This week we had a lesson with some of his neighbors and they told us that he's a little crazy. We were like what do you mean crazy? They were like "he leaves his house in the night and shoots at the sky with his gun and laughs" Hahaha I coulnt stop laughing. I was shocked he seems so innocent to me! Apparently Alfonso esta loco.
 


Yesterday we left super early to go help a recent convert, Rebecca, and her 5 wild niƱos get to church. She is pregnant and its super hard for her to mantain them all so we like to help her out. Eric and Axel, both under 7 years old, kept bringing me flowers the entire walk to church haha and then all of the sudden Eric just comes up to me, gets down on one knee and asks, "Quieres casarte conmigo?" Haha SO CUTE! Then his brother did the same! I told them both yes and the rest of the way they were each holding one of my hands, planning the wedding. Axel told me, "You need to start looking for a dress. That one won't work because its yellow" And Eric would say, "We need to clean the house!" Haha cutest thing I ever saw. 

I love the expression on his face - haha this is after I said "yes"
