You're so vain, you probably think this letter is to you, dont you, dont you?



Happy New Year! We spent our new year just us two in the pench and made it a party haha. We bought ice cream and cookies and a member brought us a giant typical Argentine meal with Milonesa Napolitana de pollo, puré de papa, and crusty bread that sounds just like the bread off of Ratatouille. We also got ourselves some crush soda and we called it a feast!

And you know what? He himself, the Grinch, carved the roast beast!



I LOVE MY COMPA
We found a Mickey D's to break the fast. What a way to go! (The nuggets were NOT the same) Nor the burgers... nor the fries.. nor the agua or the salt... haha but the dirty bathroom was the same haha that was good. 


We have been finding quite a bit of new people to teach, and one family I am super extra excited about. We talked to them while we were waiting for the bus and invited us to their house. Gustavo and Luana and their two boys Gaspar and Alan are a sweet family who love the Lord and are very interested with what we have to say about the way the gospel blesses families and how they can be together forever. Luana is from Brazil and I love listening to her Portugese! I can understand more or less, but i'm adding Portugese to my wish list, it's such a beautiful language! 

Lucy and Manuel my favorite elderly have a baptismal date this Sunday. We are really hoping it pulls through, because they are definitely ready for baptism, but ........they say they don't know everything.

Well this is the last week of this transfer and I really can't believe it. The time is flying and I'm not ready to leave Hermana Diaz! If I wanted to describe the closeness of our friendship I couldn't. We have so much fun yet we give every moment our all.  I have loved sharing this transfer with her. It makes me happy to know that I'll be staying here in Gutierrez. I have fallen in love with this area, the ward, and the people here. Did I tell you we live almost right next to a giant Coca Cola factory? Maybe you can google it haha it's prettty cool. I have no idea who my next companion will be but we'll see!
