Monotony


Well world I really don't have much to say this week. It was a super routine week but still really good at the same time. The heat here is starting to straight kill me and I'm told it's not even bad yet. I guess to fill some space I'll tell you all some more about the culture here cuz that's always kinda interesting to hear about right? Before that though, huge shout out to my sister Meghann for making me an uncle this week! Uncle Elder Nixon. I think it has a pretty great ring to it.

If you don't know what the siesta is, you're probably going to be jealous of it. Pretty much what it is is every day from 1-6 the whole country just goes to sleep. The businesses close and literally no one is in the streets. We ususally do our studies then or meet with members. Um, men think the world is their toilet here and seeing women breast feeding is nothing. Also last Sunday Boca played against River (a huuuugee rivalry) and literally no one would even answer the door to talk to us during it. So yeah, soccer is HUGE here and everyone wants to know who you support. For me it's Rosario Central or nothing....

Yeah sorry this email is so lame but I gotta run. We're going to Rosario for Pday today to do some souvenier shopping for my comp who is going home after this transfer so maybe I'll buy myself something nice :)

Here's just a pic of us outside our pension. Yes, that is some razor wire on our neighbors fence. Welcome to Argentina.
