Sept 20th 2010

So San Juan is great. It´s living up to it´s hype as a great place to be as a missionary in the Mendoza Mission but as well is living up to it´s hype as the hottest effin place on earth! I´m loving it none the less. For the moment we don´t have an aparment of our own because the owners kicked us out. We´re stayin in a tiney tiney place with two other missionaries and just living out of our bags. Kind of a distraction but we´re working through it. Our new apartment is really close to being closed on. Seems like i´m involved with the housing difficulties whereever i go! Maybe it´s a sign i should be in real estate because i´ve done a lot of finding apartments for missionaries. Haha, anyways saturday we had a great baptism. Jenni Gomez made herself the newest member of our church saturday. She´s a great woman with 9 children. (We´ll be working on baptising them these next few weeks, but the father isn´t all for the church). San Juan is a lot like inland California, really really green trees, and it´s a very beautiful city. I love it so far. The climate is super hot but the people are really nice. They are very known for their odd accent. In spanish alot of the R´s are rolled, with that spanish twist ya know? But here the double RR´s or words that start with R that bring that rolled noise are accented here with a SHHHH. So a place like Rawson is literally Shhrowson. Totally odd, and really hard for the new missionaries that come in because they have the Argentine accent as well when prounouncing double L´s. So everything has Shhhhh´s in it. Hard to understand for a lot of people. With this much time in my mision it´s not bad, i can understand it but it just kinda throws ya off haha. Anyways i´ve got some good pics for ya this week hope ya like em. Tell everyone hi for me.
