It was a lot of fun talking to you guys last night! It sounds like everyone is doing well. Mom, it sounds like you had a pretty Super Mother´s Day. I liked the Backstreet Boys Mother´s Day song. It´s pretty catchy. Oh, and yeah and somebody mentioned the new grill. I´m excited to cook Argentine-style on it -- Get excited.
This week has been fairly standard. The big news of the week will have to be awarded to Moving Day. Saturday morning, we officially changed apartments. Seeing as I´ve been here for about 6 months, I´ve been able to see the entire process through. I had no idea that a mission to Argentina required a minor law degree. We first had to find a new place to live. Then we had to talk business. I won´t lie, it was rather fun negotiating the details. Luckily, the contracts for housing are fairly standard here in Argentina. After sending the contract to the mission office, we received the approval of it. I was feeling pretty good when I pointed out 3 errors in the contract before I signed it. Maybe I should look into a Law Degree and a minor Spanish, when I get back...
Anyways, back to Moving Day. The move was fairly easy; we don´t really have many personal belongings, nor did the apartment have much other than beds, a fridge, and our wardrobes. Moving trucks are referred to as ¨Fletes." Basically, an organization of pick-up trucks. After only 2 hours, we had moved out and moved in. We paid the dude and his two sons 150 pesos...I knew it was too high of a price...but my companion was fine with it. We found after that it should have been 50ish pesos...
This weekend we have another baptism! Benjamin is a 76 year old champ. We are really excited for him. Apparently I have some connection with the oldies... :)
Well, I´m on page 449. 3 Nephi 18:28-29 is a real eye-opener for the Sacrament. It definitely gives the Sacrament a new meaning for you.
I love you bunches and oats,
Elder McMurray
