Hey mom. Had a good week. Time flies here in the office, it´s honestly incredible. Weeks seem like days. To think I´ve been here almost 2 months just blows my mind. Frischknecht got his trunky paper today. Its the paper you get when you hit the 18 month mark asking the information of your family and your home airport so they can start working on your trip home. That means I´ll be getting mine for Christmas. So crazy, i still feel like I just got here. It´s so hard to believe but then I get reality checks when people ask me what province of Argentina I´m from because I sound Argentine. Seems like days ago I was with good ole´papa Chesley my trainer not being able to say a dang word. I remember how frustrating and hard that was. Now I have a hard time speaking English. I´m glad that the Bodilys finally got a hold of you. Their such good people. If I decide to go to UVU I´d definately be living with Brayden. We became really good friends in the mission. I´m having a hard time deciding what route to take when I get home. First school wise and second career wise. So many choices, so many pros and so many cons. A lot depends on my first six months home.
But I figure that the Lord will direct me in my decision. President Lindahl told me to start looking into my options after the holidays end. I always wondered if that affected missionaries in their work, planning for home in the 4th quarter. But it doesn´t affect me, if anything i think it helps me feel the sense of urgency to make every minute worth it out here. What is your take on my options? I can always use my motherly advice!
So yesterday we hit the jackpot and while getting the rare opportunity to shop at the Argentine equivalent of Costco (the senor missionaries had to buy air conditioning for their penches) we found what even the Lindahls didn´t know existed here.... Turkey! We bought the last Turkey in the place, weighing in at 24 pounds and costing us a heck of a big $275 pesos. But man are we going to be able to feast on Thanksgiving! Such a difference from last year being with a kid from Honduras, I absolutely forgot about Thanksgiving till you told me in my email the following week. CANT BELIEVE THAT WAS A YEAR AGO! Anyways, things are great here. I´ve got some interesting news for ya next week. Hopefully some pictures. (I´m working on noting all of my pictures, it´s quite the process!) But know that I love you, I´m thinking about you all! Holidays seem to do that! Keep up that head, love you all so much.
