Clowns
The chapel for our ward is currently under construction. The church in Suarez is growing fast and we need more room to teach the good word.
As a result of the construction, the missionaries have had to search other places to study and eat. We live about 40 minutes away from the area where we teach so we can't travel to our apartment to study and eat lunch (we study in the afternoon because the rest of the world here is sleeping. 1-4 is nap time for Argentine's). We would eat and study in a nice public library or park but those don't exist here. Instead we study in the houses of members when possible and if not we go to public plazas.
Two weeks ago, we were studying, doing our best to block out the screams of kids running around in the plaza and the noise coming from cars passing by, and a group of clowns and other circus performers decided to set up shop right next to us and put on a show. There goes our studying, haha. We kept going but it is hard to focus when you are literally in the middle of a circus.
We got a good laugh out of it.
Yellow Sweaters
This may not mean much to anyone outside of my immediate family but the girls here wear yellow sweaters. I do not understand it but it seems to be the sweater of choice here.

Elder Vega had to do his paperwork this week so we went to the immigration center in Retiro this Thursday.
