So, it was a good week.
We left Tuesday in the morning for our multizona in Resistencia
and didn’t get back to Paso de los Libres until Tuesday morning at 5:30 in the morning...
it’s kind of a long story so I think I might just save it for next week!
So, Wednesday was just kind of rough just because we were
running on no sleep whatsoever... Thursday we did divisions with the Elder of
Pasos 2 and I went with Elder Figueroa from Mar del Plata! he’s super funny and
dope and keeps it real since he’s 25 years old and a new missionary! The
divisions were fine and had some good charlas together. Friday, the Elders from Pasos 2 had a wedding
for one of their investigators and in the afternoon, they had an activity in
the church to celebrate... Saturday we had a capilla abierta (you can look what
it is because I don’t want to explain it) and it was alright... not the most successful
thing I have ever witnessed but its fine we still got some people to come! so
Sunday we were able to relax a little bit in church I guess.
Dad... nowhere here is comparable to the States... I know I
probably shouldn’t say this but I like the States a lot more... like a lot... I’m
proud to be an American. Yeah, all the businesses
are small business even though they’re all the same, they usually sell clothes,
if not they sell food like bakery or a restaurant added on to their houses, and
if it’s not that, it’s a pet food store... there’s not much variety here...People
drink matte for fun...Yes, they have a movie theater but people usually don’t
have money for it... and no one from Brazil comes here... all the Argentines
just go over there since it’s all just so much cheaper. Sim, Eu Fallo Portugués. The trees are painted white to stop the ants
and bugs from climbing up them and eating all the leaves and stuff away. But it was a good week over all!
For Skype, I will be on around like 6 o’clock my time so like
1PM your time!
Talk to you next week!

hey fam,
So, this week was a pretty good week! We did divisions with the
Elders from Curuzu Cuatia this past week. I was with Elder Ignacio from Buenos
Aires and it was fun! it has been a while since I had been down to Curuzu so it
was nice to be back!
As well I don’t have a lot to say since we had the skype call
yesterday. Sorry to sound super negative! I don’t want you guys thinking that I’m
hating the mission or I’m not having a good time. I’m having a great time and working hard out
here! It can just be kind of frustrating sometimes because we put up with a lot
of crap here in Pasos, especially as the zone leaders! But we just choose to
laugh it off and be sarcastic about it just to lighten the mood and try and
turn the days around. So, Me and Elder
Dean make a lot of sarcastic jokes just to get us through and a lot of the
times it just comes off really negative! But I’m having a good time! don’t
worry about me! But have a good week! love ya all!

So, surprise! we had transfers this week! So, I got transferred to Corrientes Capital
again!! This time I’m in the branch of Costanera! So, I got the centro and
super luxury part of the mission… I got here and the work has been going super
well and there’s lots of people they are teaching so we are going to help them
get baptized this transfer! My companion is Elder Bybee from Roy, Utah. He’s
pretty cool! But I haven’t even had time to work in the area yet so i dont know
anyone or anything yet!! But its definitely a lot louder and crazier here then
Pasos! But all is well!
Here’s some pictures of the investigators we had in Pasos.
Have a great week!

So, we have had a pretty good week! It’s been great being in a
new area! Even though we are in the downtown part of Corrientes Capital we have
been having lots of work to do here!! It’s been really weird. Being in a small town in the middle of the
campo and now being in the big city! There was no surprise transfer though?? it
was just normal transfers and I had been in Paso de los Libres for 6 months
already hahah. But the branch is doing
well, it’s actually smaller than the one we had in Pasos but the members are
all super awesome! It’s really nice too because the church is right on the
river front!!
But me and my companion are going super well! But being here has been a lot less stressful
and we can just go out and work instead of always having to travel and doing
things and worrying about a zone of missionaries! There’s not much to say haha it’s all good!
Sounds like things are going well back at home and you guys are
keeping busy! But I don’t have any
pictures for this week because my camera has been dead and I think I left my
charger in Pasos so I have to wait for Elder Dean to bring it here to Capital!
but I hope you have a great week!
Love you all!
Elder Peters
