Once again, it was a very full week. We got rejected by the majority of the people we were teaching this week, which is always tough. We had a couple fun travel days this week though, which makes up for some of the suck.
Because Elder Gibbs is the district leader, we go spend the day with another set of elders once a week. This week, we went to visit the elders who live 3 blocks from the Bolivian border. It was fun, but relatively uneventful. However, the next morning on the bus ride back to Tartagal, we almost got detained by the Argentine border patrol who thought we were smuggling drugs from Bolivia. There were a couple of nervous minutes, but in the end we were alright.
Another day this week, we had a big conference in the province of Jujuy with around a third of the mission. The area president, who manages the church in the southern half of South America, came to tour our mission and spoke to us for a couple of hours about how we can work more effectively. The 4 hour van ride each way was less than fun, but it was good to meet so many other missionaries.
Have a great week and know that Jesus loves you.
