More drunks, pass along cards and Halloween

Hola mundo! Dang I won't lie to you all, language is at a weird point right now for me. I can pretty much understand what people are saying to me finally but I can't really talk back too effectively. And all at the same time it's been so long that I've really had a solid conversation in English that lots of times English feels weird in my mouth too. So basically right now I don't have a language I'm proficient in but what ya gonna do?? :)

       Well Halloween was depressing for me because I didn't realize it was Halloween until 6 in the afternoon but once I realized what day it was, Elder Gagnon and I switched nametags and I was Elder Gagnon for Halloween! We also went to a sweet shop and I bought myself lots of alfojores so that was nice.

       We met a pretty cool drunk dude this week. He yelled at us to come over and just started begging us to help him change his life. We told him we'd bring him to church with us and he loved the idea but when we came Sunday morning to get him, he was too hung over to be woken up by our loud clapping and knocking so we eventually just gave up.

       We had a hard day as far as the work goes. Our best investigador Angel straight up moved within a day on us. Like we had dinner with his family one night and during the conversation he told us "oh yeah, I leave tomorrow morning to go live with my dad in Santa Fe." So yeah, that was really hard but hopefully he keeps on learning and progressing!!

Also huge shout out to my mom for her birthday this last week. She's incredible and I love her so much!!!

The first pic is what happens on a p-day after playing soccer way to hard in the sun. You make a sofa out of your mattresses and buy a kilo of ice cream and put a fan in front of your face. The second pic is me and Elder Gagnon wearing each other's name tags. The dude's a stud and definitely a really good friend to me!
