This week was pretty normal other than the fact that there is now a mosquito plague here in Buenos Aires. There´s been floodings in other provinces of the country and all the mosquitoes from there decided to come closer to the coast I guess. So now there are mosquitoes everywhere and theyre huge! Ive already made it through my first bottle of Off Spray haha. But anyways Andres came to church again this week and is progressing well. He already started finding out how to start the marriage process(Its a little complicated here). Hopefully he can get married before I leave in June so he can get baptized! Ah I want to baptize! We also started doing visits with the Bishop here in the ward every Thursday which is a HUGE step to getting more member missionary help here. This last Thursday we went to our investigator Juan with the Bishop, who we found the other week. He lives right off the edge of this small river in humble house. He´s about 50 yrs old and has a lot of trials and problems in his life. Hes got great desires and said we changed his life after visiting him the first time! He accepted baptism and coming to church in the first visit. So far hes not fufilling with any of these commitments, but after a visit with the Bishop it was a boost. We went to go look for him to go to church and was asleep. Here its aparently terrible if someone is sleeply and you wake him up, so his family wouldnt wake him up for us, but next Sunday we´ll get him there for sure!
Til next week amigos! Have a great Mothers Day next Sunday!

bad picture of me, but its the only one I got for this week. yes im bald, my companions cut my hair to short.
everythings good. Im not really nervous about coming home or focusing on it. I already know whats waiting for me and what Im going to do. So im more stressed now about baptizing before I go home, since Ive only baptized once in the past six months of my mission and we dont have any solid options for the upcoming weeks. And also of trying to make the most of my time here to progress as an individual. not just changing my behavior but my nature and who I am and who I want to be.
But im being patient and understand that its Gods will not me. So we see how these next few weeks play out.
