Hello Family,

Things are going great... not much has changed! Elder Petersen and I are still together in Parque Leloir. The work progresses and we are working hard.

No stories oh ya one kind of silly story... so we were working on friday afternoon in a neighborhood and all the sudden it starts to pour literally pour cats and dogs, crazy like, so Elder Petersen and I ran to a tree for protection and it didn't have leaves so it wasn't much protection but it was the best we had.

The tree was positioned in front of a property with a house about 200 feet back. a lady was outside but ran to the house because of the rain. She thought we ran up to her to talk to her but we just wanted protection from the rain. So she started yelling at us from the door "OTRO DIA!" which means, another day! I yelled back that I was only in front of her house for the tree, but of course she doesn't hear me, so she yells again and again for about 2 minutes !!otro dia!!!

My attempts to explain to her my reason for being there proved fruitless. She got her 14 year old daughter to yell too, within 4 minutes the whole family was out there yelling OTRO DIA as we were huddling under the branches of this tree. Finally, I yelled why we were there and she heard me!! She said oh, and walked in the door with her family.

Silly Argentines, gotta love em.

Love you all!

Elder Kelly
