It sounds like things are rollin´. I can´t believe you guys went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert! Freebird live?? What better way to embrace your Sourthern Roots? I´m extremely jealous. Ironically, we talked
about Lynyrd Skynyrd this morning. My companion started singing, "I´m Leaving on a Jetplane," by John Denver. That led into a conversation of famous people dying in plane crashes. A little random, I know.
Cody got his call! California! Congrats!
This week was definitely a Montaña Rusa kind of week.(if you´re picking up what I´m saying..) So I´ll just dive right in...
We spent a big chunk of Tuesday going to Downtown. Sister Parker has been sick all week, so we went to check up on her. For the record: Sister Missionaries have it made. Their apartment was extremely nice. I also found out that they get a higher bugdet for rent then us Elders get. Mission Presidents definitely play favorites, when it comes to the Sisters.
Thursday, we ate with the Urizar Family. This was our first lunch with them. I´ve been kind of excited to get to know them. Brother Urizar is a basketball player. He played on a club team that won their league for the entire country of Argentina. It´s fairytale story, too. All other clubs have indoor faciliites and better sponsoring. His team, practices on a local playground court. If you could just see the court that they play on, you would find a court in the Bronx much more welcoming. He is the one Argentine that thinks Mate is against the Word of Wisdom. Unfortunately, I don´t think we will be eating with them for a few weeks. His wife is due next week.
Friday was spent in Rezzy. We left for Resistencia at 2am, for a nice, five hour ride. This was to complete the second half of my VISA paper work. I´m going to be legal! Other than seeing a bunch of
mission friends, the highlight has got to go to McDonalds. Yep, that´s right. M.C.D.O.N.A.L.D.S. There is a grand total of 1 McDonalds in the entire mission boardaries. ..And I got to go. I got excited and got the Big Mac meal with a McFlurry. The total rang up to $37 pesos. McDonalds is like the ¨Nice Restaurant.¨ You can get a normal, supreme hamburger off the street for $8 pesos. We made it
back to Posadas at Midnight. Fun. The rest of the week was spent catching up on everything. It´s
amazing how much things change when you miss just one day.
Well, as missionaries, we do a lot of studying about the Sabbath Day. When you actually do a study on it, it´s quite amazing just how much you come up with. Why is the Sabbath so important? What should we do on this day? Why is it on Sunday? What will we gain by obeying the Sabbath Day? If you want to do a good study this week, give it a shot.
¨Me encanta¨,
Elder McFlurry
