well well well.... One more week in Argentina! I dont know exactly what to tell ya... but basically life here is great! I think i say that in every email:) but its true! This week the weather did this super weird personality change. It went from freezing cold to super warm. Im kinda confused about our relationship now cuz i had pretty much decided to hate the weather and then it goes and does this... and totally redeems itself!
anyway, aside from my love-hate relationship with the climate, did i tell you that it{s the mundial of soccer! yeah, i just gotta tell you that everyone here LOVES soccer! its actually really great. The whole of Argentina unites in soccer:) Argentina beat Mexico on Sunday. we had to go back to our apt to study during the game, and afterward it was a little difficult to find anyone who would let us into their house to teach them... mostly because practically everyone, when argentina wins, drives crazy to the middle of the city, with kids hanging out the windows of the cars and sitting on top, waving flags and hocking the entire way there! haha I love it! seriously, you can feel the energy in the air. EVERYONE is happy and shouting and singing, throwing firecrackers from the tops of buildings:) so basically, there werent a whole lot of people available to teach...
but, we knocked this house right after we had left the apt, and an old lady answered and told us we could come in but she was choking on something so she just kept coughing and coughing, went to get a drink, coughed some more. so we were just waiting in her kitchen to say a prayer with her, leave a pamphlet, and go. but she finally comes back in to the room, and shes like, ok well, bye. and i said, you dont want us to pray? and she said, no im catholic... me: thats lovely, so are we gonna pray or what? jk, that{s not what i said. it was more like, ok we can just say a prayer and go. and she said, what a pretty little girl, and patted my cheek real creepy-like, and I said, so should i say the prayer? and then she told us to get out of her house, patted my cheek again, except harder like she really just wanted to slap me, and said, vayan chicas! vayan! and shooed us out the door like dirty little kittens! .......She was kinda crazy i think... she invited us into her house, made us wait while she almost choked to death and then commanded us to leave... I don{t get it, but we got into the street and comp and just looked at each other and bust up laughing! i think it would probably be funnier if you were there:)
so thats all this week! ps Lorenzo is getting baptized saturday!!!!
Love,
Hna Jones
