So i dont have a whole lot to write this week. My birthday went fine, i think that mission birthdays might be some of the lamest or it might just be that i´m getting older and they are just lame now haha. The senor couples we´re nice enough to take me out to dinner in downtown mendoza. We ate at a really yummy place named Las Tinajas. They actually gave us a free bottle of wine on the house haha. We accepted it to be nice but asked them not to open it, that we would ourselves later on haha. I´ve got the bottle in the pench, it´s kind of the joke around here. People put it in other elders beds, and so forth. Haha. The Bodilys got here and I got them my paperwork for my license. It´s all signed and notorized. You´ll have to give them a call in the next few days. I think they fly home tomorrow if I´m not mistaken. They totally took us out to McDonalds and spent over 100 pesos on us! Such nice people, his dad is so funny. I think his mom would totally fit in with Natalie and you. He was a great buddy of mine here. I sure respected him, and he became like a brother to me. Anywho, I´m going to the eye doctor this week because i´ve been getting head aches really bad whenever i look at a computer for more than 10 minutes and my eyes are drying out and being really obnoxious for me. I never told you but my glasses got stepped on by another elder about a year ago and i´ve had to survive on only contacts every single day. I think over time my eyes are saying enough i need a break. So i´m going to get a new perscription. I talked to you a while ago about it, but kind of on purpose left out the symtoms i´ve been having. So that should be good. The last 2 weeks of mine have been dedicated to figuring how the heck i can get an Argentine drivers licence. Well after standing in 3 hour lines for days, and jumping through hoops after hoop (which included getting a state I.D in Mendoza). Plus getting around the anti americans (which 1 in 10 or so are). But after it all I did the written and driving tests this morning at the Argentine DMV and got my LICENCE! Ohhhhhh yaaaaaaa!!! I´m sending you a picture of my state id, it´s pretty cool lookin. And wanted to show you the difference of what i looked like the first day in the mission(pic on the left), and what i look like now (pic in the middle). Quite a difference ehhh!? Have a great week, i loveyou!
