We have a baptismal date for a boy that is 9 named Gastón. He is a way sweet kid and he is pretty excited. He goes to church every week with his grandma. Both his parents are inactive so we are hoping that this will bring them back. We will see what happens though. This is a huge problem here that the kids want to get baptized but then once they do they don´t have any support so it´s hard for them so stay active. It´s still pretty exciting though. Life here in Argentina is going right along. Every day we are trying to find the chosen ones but I swear they are hiding. Every time we think we find one they always just say they are really really catholic which is weird because I thought catholicism was a religion not an adjective. After they tell us how catholic they are they proceed to give us a made up address and then tell us that we would be wasting our time. It is pretty funny. 

Oh and also the dogs here.... I can´t stand them. They are the most annoying things ever and I want to punt every single one. They have dogs here that are illegal in the US because they will kill you in like .2. They are the ugliest things I have every seen. I don´t know if I ever told you about Pandi, our landlady´s dog. But it was like this little mut thing that I could throw to the moon but the poor guy ran away and nobody knows where he went. I´m so happy you have no idea. The landlady was ticked though because she thought we let him out. Oh well, she will get over it.
