rainy here too...

Dear family,
This has been an extremely long week for some reason. The days just crawled by, not that that is a bad thing, just different, usually they fly by. Well we too have had a lot of rain here this week. I guess spring here is similar to fall there, go figure. It´s lovely, I love it. I have a huge purple umbrella that I´ve had since Tigre to keep me company and dry:) So I can´t remember anything special that Argentines do for the 31st, Dad, sorry. Today is a holiday, but I´m not sure why. Next week is mother´s day, yep the whole world celebrates it in may, except Argentina. So we have really been contacting a lot this week, we are in need of investigators, pero mal. The good thing is that my companion loves to talk to people, so she usually starts off the contact and I finish when she gets a little lost. She actually speaks super well, she doesn´t realize it, but it´s true , re capa ella. aka she´s awesome.Oh thanks for the emails. I always love them. I´m glad to hear that you all are getting over your colds, and wow employee of the month! congrats.
Oh and I´m attaching a ¨lovely¨ picture of me with my chicken pox and the balloon animal i made. Also I have a year in Argentina so as a present I finally broke down and started using my new pair of shoes, yep I made the others last a year. They may have a hole, but they made it.
Today we went to Belgrano and got together with the Elders in our district and went to China town and a little mini arts and craft thing in the plaza. It was fun and I bought some cool things....so yeah that was our day. I´m sure it will be more exciting next week.
Love you all,
Aleta
