Wow, November already!

Dear Family,
Guess what, Guess what, Guess what?????....... BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!!
No unfortunately not Olga. It´s Rosa! I realized I forgot to tell you about her last week. She is the sweetest lady I´ve ever met. Muy muy dulce. Hermana Romo and her last companion found her about a week before I got here, but didn´t really get a chance to teach her too much. So we taught her all the lessons and in the first lesson she was praying about the book of Mormon and she said right there in her prayer that she knew it was true! So we asked her about it, turns out she had heard the missionaries before 15 years ago and had wanted to get baptised. She only stopped going to church, because they stopped coming and she wasn´t baptised. Well, turn out she wasn´t leagally married to her Husband , which happens all the time here, but he died two years ago. So she was ready now to be baptised. I love every lesson with her. When we would teach her she would just say, ¨okay, i know, I already do that....¨ We couldn´t believe it. She´s great and I´ll send pictures, eventually¨:)
Oh and before I forget, we found OLGA! Yeah, we are taking it a little slower trying to make sure we address her doubts. Mostly they are about being able to keep the commandmants after she is baptised. We met with her last night and talked a lot about the Holy Ghost. I love it when we teach her, I actually feel like I am helping, it helps that she speaks English!
Okay to answer questions...yes Argentinian is a word. Today I studied the last four chapters of Mosiah, good stuff. Oh my the CENSUS! We could not leave the appartment ALL day. My companion called the district leaders four times to make sure because she couldn´t believe it. we did a project inside with our area map that we´ve been wanting to do for a long time. Yeah, A girl!!!! Congrats! Oh I live in an appartment complex by the train station in Tigre center. It´s the safest part. Shoe size I can´t read it. I think the box might still be around in my room some where though. I think 81/2 not sure though. Rice pack, or both we have a mirco wave. Among things for Christmas a nice camera back strap, for by shoulder bag would be much appreciated.
Okay, got to run. I´ll try to tell you about my daily schedule next week and answer a few more questions.
Love you all,
Aleta
