Alright, how are things? Well, it was transfer week, so stuff was crazy.
but, we managed to find some new investigators, most notably Mauricio and his
family; his wife's mother is an active member of the santa lucia ward, which we
share a building with. He seemes egar to listen to us, wich is always
nice.

this week has been a kind of stressful one, what with teaching a new elder
all about the area as I prepare to hand it off to him. I don't actulay have many
fun stories to share.. Oh, yeah, Pablo Maldonado (ward memeber, has a back
problem so can't go on a full time mission, currently serving as a family
history service missionary, ward clerk, and secretary in the bishopric, also an
amazing cook) made us home-made alfajores. Which where amazing. Alfajores are
like... a thing that I'm going to miss a lot when I'm not in argentina any more,
but also not, since they are mosly just a temptation to get fat that I have to
avoid. Okay, I'm actulay going to go buy one from the guy who owns the cyber
because I'm super hungry. no. no I'm not. breath. ahrgh.
(I actaly don't at many alfajores, jeez)
(Yes, I did cave and get one)

Hm, anything else? I'm sick, which is not cool. I got a cold. And it's
lame. but whatever. It will go away.
On a spiritual note, I was reading and really enjoyed a lovely pasage in
Jacob 3:1-2--
1 But behold, I, Jacob, would speak unto you that
are pure in heart. Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with
exceeding faith, and he will console you in your afflictions, and he will plead
your cause, and send down justice upon those who seek your destruction.
2 O all ye that are pure in heart, lift up your
heads and receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love; for ye may,
if your minds are firm, forever.
I am glad to think that God will always
visit us in our aflictions, console us, plead for us. Sometimes I think I forget
that, and get stuck in a moment, but God is able to help us ovecome anything, so
there's really nothing to be proccupied about, no mater how bad things
get.
