Week 12

May 24-30th, 2016

Estoy en un nuevo lugar!! I’m in a new place!! Now I’m in Cutral-Co!!! It’s near Zapala. There is a giant Jesus here!! He is huge, white kneeling statue!! I just got here today so I’ll take some photos and send them another time! Tengo un nuevo compañera tanbien!! Ella se llama Hermana Nieto! I already love her!!! haha Right now we are in a trio with Hermana Perez but only until her new companion arrives Thursday. Right now I am in a biblioteca (library) and we only get 30 minutes because it’s closing. This week I learned that I cannot eat the ensalada aca. (the salad here) I got super sick from eating carrots and tomatoes mixed in a bowl with salt and oil.... That afternoon I threw up more than 8 times... and that’s not a joke. The worst part is that the next day was my companion’s birthday!! but no worries by morning I was pretty much all better and we ate lots of cake hahahaha. Now I’m in Cutral Co with an Uruguaya!!! (From Uruguay!!) She just so happens to be my last companion´s last companion... entonces they were companions right before I got to the field!! My Spanish is sooo much better!! The natives here are sooo surprised when I speak and they are like encerio?? you only have two months??

Here are some awesome pictures from today!!!
