The promised excitement from last week is that we got to travel to the provincial capital of Salta to do my residency paperwork. We got on a bus early on Monday morning, waited in line at a government building, signed some papers, and had the rest of the day to roam around in Salta and play tourists. We had a great lunch at McDonald’s. My mind was blown that while we’re up here in almost Bolivia without clean drinking water, there are missionaries who can just go to McDonald’s for lunch every week.

The next day, we got up early again and waited in a migration office for 4 hours to sign 3 papers and get our picture taken. After that, we went to mission office and to grab Books of Mormon and other stuff to take to the missionaries in our area. Then we got on a bus for 7 hours and got back to our apartment at 10:30 Tuesday night.

While sitting in lines for hours wasn’t super fun, it was great to talk with other missionaries who I’ve worked with before and to see some of the cool touristy stuff. 

Thanks for your support! Have a great week! Know that Jesus loves you!
