Freaking Coackroaches!!!!

Sorry for my french... haha Ok so this week was filled with cockroaches, cockroaches oh and just a bit more cockroaches... I love this area and the people here, but seriously I'm beginning to think it might not be worth it, the apt is so disgusting, and it isn't because we don't clean, oh no we clean... ALOT!! The other day I suggested we clean off the shelves in our kitchen because there was a lot of stuff on there we didn't use or should prob be thrown out... we put all our food in bags and but them in another room... then the fun began, I'm pretty sure we killed like a million cockroaches, and their babies and their eggs... it was so disgusting, they were big ones too... not as big as the one in my apt in Louisville, but still big!! We told our zone leader about it and he will see what
he can do, when we complained about it earlier they said just use raid, well that is what we did and it kept getting worse and worse, we also have someone come once a month to fumigate, it doesn't do anything, and then we bought some kind of gel, and well that helped a little, until the day we cleaned our shelves, now they are going to try and see what they can do! Also right before we came to do internet I was looking under some books on my desk and found a family living under them... I'm so sick of cockroaches!!!
Ok so enough about that, the work is going good, we had a baptism on Saturday, Monica was finally baptized, it was a really sweet service, and her daughter who tells us she wants nothing to do with the church came to support her mom, and it looked like she was really touched by the spirit, she also came to church on Sunday to see the confirmation!! And lets talk about how great this ward is, Monica already has home teachers, and they came to her baptism and let her know if she needed anything to call them! I love Almagro!! Well with the baptism of Monica we have lost all our investigators that can be baptized, we still have investigators, but they all need to get married first, and well that is a complicated process here in Argentina!! So we are now focusing really hard on finding new people to teach, pray for us, it is really hard to find here in capital! We did find one guy, he was an old investigator a year ago, he is a really good guy, married with 2 kids, he told us the missionaries came once and then never called again, I have no idea why... he is awesome, he read the folleto we left him, and told us all about it and then we taught him lesson 1 and he prayed on his knees at the end... men hardly ever do that! I'm excited about him, his wife isn't that interested, she is friendly but doesn't sit in on our lessons, pray for her too!!
Welp that is all I have time for, but I hope you all are doing well and I miss you all...
thanks for the emails and all your support...

Love you all
