Newly Fixed Dirt Roads + Rain = Muddy Rivers

Well, this week has flown by. The Britez family has added a new addition to their family. They had a daughter on Thursday the 18th. We passed by the next day but she was sleeping so we didn't take pictures. I will make sure to post the pictures next week. We are hoping that Antonio Britez will be receiving the Aaronic priesthood pretty soon and then later receive the Melchizedek so he can bless his baby girl. We are pretty happy for them and their growing family.

Once again the clouds came and dropped rain on us for two days and destroyed the newly fixed dirt roads. The roads were fixed recently because the Governor of Formosa came into town to open two schools. It is funny to see everyone rushing around fixing the town before he comes. It is sad that all their work on the roads was in vain.

Last Monday we ate lunch with a couple that have German and Italian blood. We ate a German dish and I thought that maybe dad might recognize the name. I hope this name is correct. Twidla or tuidla is what is called. It is ricotta cheese wrapped in a type of lasagna noodle with sugar. They then cover it in a red meat sauce. It was tasty and I hope dad can remember back that far. I'm sure he can't even remember what he ate yesterday. Maybe he can. You never know.

This upcoming Sunday are the Argentine elections. We will only be having sacrament meeting because it is mandatory for them to vote. They have from 8 in the morning to 6 at night to place their vote. I guess they do this every year and they only have sacrament meeting. Along with the elections come the annoying propaganda that they spread throughout the city. The candidates send trucks with huge speakers in the beds or cars with giant speakers mounted on top into the neighborhoods to play a recorded message three million times a day. Elder Tucker wants to smash the speakers every time he hears them. haha.

On Sunday Maria Nuez taught her first class at church. She taught the principles class and did really well for a first time teaching experience. If you can't remember who Maria is you just need to look at my email from 3 weeks ago.

Today was the last full P-day for Elder Redford. He goes home next week. We had a small asado and played paddle with a bunch of people. It was way fun.

Well that's all folks. Love you all and I'd like to hear from you all soon.

Chau,
Elder Hunsaker
