So I´m glad to hear that things are all busy at home. It sounds like everyone enjoyed conference and eggs in a bag... I still don´t know how sure I am about that tradition. The more I think about it, the closer my hand gets to the ¨pass¨ card. I mean they were good and all, but... it was an omelette... in a bag. I just don´t know. I guess we will just have to wait and see. As for now, I will stick to eating liver, cow stomach, and blood sausage... oh it´s just delicious, don´t worry.
About the week here in Alvear. It was different. On Thursday we went and picked grapes at a finca with some investigators and the inactive dad. When we all got in the back of the 1950 truck everyone was just staring at us. Then one of the workers turned to me and said, ¨you guys are great for walking, but for working in the harvest... You might have made a mistake.¨ After that they all starting laughing, but we just laughed it off. It was an awesome experience. Just imagine being crouched over all day, putting your hands places where you don´t even know what might be there, picking the grapes covered in spiders, and then carrying a huge bucket on your shoulder, throwing it all in the back of the same truck you came in, and doing it all over again. By about noon I was wasted. We kept going though and when all was said and done, we had filled 40 buckets. The next day I was beyond sore, but I was happy to see all of them come to church and commit to being baptized. I man it definitely paid off.
Conference was so good. I loved every minute of it and was pretty stoked to go out and work afterwards. Our investigators loved it. Perhaps the best part was the baptism we had inbetween the two saturday sessions. It was a great experience to have pretty much the whole ward here to witness the baptism and the girl was super stoked.
Other than that not much has been going down. Nahuel and his mom loved the picture that you sent. They have it in their living room. She should be getting baptized this weekend. Let´s hope so. I love you mom. Thanks for everything you have done for me. I´m always praying for you and the family!
