PALERMO, WEEK 5: IS IT TIME FOR...CHRISTMAS?

Hello once again from an Internet Cafe in Argentina! (Specifically Abasto/ONCE)!
I don´t have much time. I apologize for that, but that's because we are outside our area in a place called ONCE like the number. It's a place with street vendors and stuff really cheap. It's outside our area but when we called the president for permission he said "Of course! Knock yourself out, I wish I could go there right now." It's pretty cool. I want to take a picture but my companion recommended not because someone my try to steal it and it gives the impression that we are carrying valuable things so we will see. 
Thank you for your letters, I am trying to reply to them all. 
This week was hot! But still good. The work is really slow in Palermo now. We have one investigator and hardly anybody else to teach. We have had our first 0,0,0,0,0 day with nothing to do but walk and talk with people. I start the initial contact and explanation and when the people reply and say something that I don´t understand I tag team my companion and he jumps in the ring. Haha. We are doing great. He has an injury on his foot that sometimes he can't walk on because it hurts so bad. We don´t know what it is, we keep calling the doctor in the church building here but he never is in. The injury looks like three holes in his heel this size of the 0 on the keyboard. It's really weird like a puncture mark or something. 
I don´t know if I told you all this but I walked into a Libreria and said "tengo un boli" meaning I have a pen. And the guy was like "uhhh sí" and I could not understand for the life of me why he didn´t understand then my companion stepped in and siad stuff and we left. Haha I meant to say I need to buy a pen etc. But I started out with the wrong verb but didn´t realize it. Haha. I will never return to the Libreria again. 
The President put out a letter saying that tomorrow we have a mandatory time from 10-12 pm cleaning time, instead of studying, for our apartments. I can´t wait! I have been organizing and cleaning so our apartment is pretty clean but this is going to be some deep cleaning! Woohoo. He put tons of scriptures in it about cleanliness and organization and clarified doctrine and where the line is for cleanliness and messiness and also how we can better have the Spirit during our studies. It was well written.  I am excited. I like the feeling of a clean area. 
I had divisions with Elder Gallup again! It was awesome. Gift of tongues is real. 
Other than that all is well! I forgot my list with the things and stories I was going to tell you all so next week will be a little bit longer. 
Thank you all! 
I have pictures of some food and stuff for next week!
Love, 

Elder Moore
