Things are alright
Sounds like things are going great, kids are starting school, big red is gone haha. A lot of things have already changed since i left lol.
Things here are going alright. We had another tough week but i am looking positive again now that it will start going better, the problem is the branch i was serving in is not doing anything so we are starting to work more in the other branch because they are looking forward to helping us out, its just kind of sad to leave my other area.
We have two more weeks in this transfer, i think i might stay here in Rosário for another 6 weeks after, or i will be transfered to another city. I dont know, but i am ready to leave to another city.
On a good note my companion and I are getting along great. He is really great and is a professional mangá artist (some weird comic book drawing things) he has started to teach me how to draw and i am improving haha.
Have a good week and I will write to you next week!
