So this week has been a slow one. Our finding of new investigators is less than normal and nobody came to church this past Sunday. My companion and I spoke on Sunday and maybe that´s why no one came. Haha.
We finally cut the grass in the backyard with a borrowed edger from a member. It made me think of the “good ol´days” cutting down the weeds in the backyard at home. Another thing that made me think of those good days were the grapes that we have growing in our back yard. I think I´ll still be here when they are ready to be eaten. Dad, don´t be too jealous of my plants. 
We have had rain about every other day and it is somewhat bothersome when you want investigators to go to church. Another thing that happens when it rains, is that the frogs decide to come in and join us in the pensión. My comp doesn´t like frogs all that much so I end up with the task of capturing these unwanted guests and tossing them out the front door or the second story window and onto the balcony. The other day we found one stuck to the window upstairs so I opened the window to get it off and it entered the house. After much effort I caught it and tossed it out the window. I then followed it on the balcony until it pulled a little terrorist move and jumped off the edge of the balcony to the ground below making a loud “SMACK” as it hit the ground. We didn´t find a body afterwards. It is believed that he is still out there waiting to come back in.
We have another zone conference this following week. President Shane Bowen of the area is coming. Along with conference I will be making a trip to Walmart again. I hope that the packages make an appearance in this zone conference if the zone leaders don´t bring them this weekend after their meeting with Pres.
Thursday night we had Bro. Scarpa come to the district to do a MLS training meeting with the presidencies of the branches. We learned all sorts of stuff about MLS. We are about to start printing off the papers for the tithing settlement interviews that are coming in December. I don´t think we´ll need much time for the interviews considering that we are in a branch.
We have a few baptismal dates pending still. We have set dates with the Escobar family, the Cuevas family, and with the Pereyra family. The Escobar family needs to come to church more than anything. The Cuevas family needs to lay off of the little boxes of wine. And the Pereyra family needs to get married. However, we just need them to be in church every Sunday for the rest of their lives. Is that too much to ask??? I don´t think so.
The branch will be having a Halloween dance this Friday at 7:30pm. You are all invited but you can´t wear masks. We´ll see how the turn out is for the dance. They do a mild celebration of Halloween. I haven´t heard anything about all saints day.
Avocado trees don´t seem to exist here in Goya. In Misiones there were avocado trees and the people did eat the fruit. I remember someone telling me that I was going to see a bunch of avocados and that nobody does anything with them so I would be able to eat them. Lies. Haha.
I hope that everyone is doing well. I love you all. Adios
