No In-Person Member Meals, But I Guess Thats A Good Thing??

Lil run down of this lovely week in Cipolletti


- had food poisoning and couldnt eat a solid meal for 3 days
- walked alot, again
- had a baptism, my first!!
- transfer news.. im staying in Cipolletti and getting a new companion from Ecuador:)


This title, fuauu! So, we get lunches from members most days. Some days we pick up the food from their house and other days they just buy us food from a restaurant near out apartment, but in my first transfer in my mission we have only had 3 in person lunches. We got some food from a member this week and lucky us-- we got food poisoning. It was rough, and we still can barely eat food. Hurray for white rice without salt. Heavenly Father really did give me the strength I needed to walk this week, cause I definitly didnt get strength from food


Other than that we had a baptism and her name is Gisela! The spirit was so strong, but honestly it was hard because we dont have a lot of member support in our ward. There were 12 people who came to the baptism-- 7 of them were missionaries and 2 of them were the people getting baptised. My focus this next transfer is to try and build up our ward support:)


For a spiritual thought this week, I am currently in the process of marking everytime there is a mention of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. I started by writing down every single scripture under "Jesus Christ" in the Index and fuau!! There are a lot!! I can truly testify to you all that the Book of Mormon truly is another testiment of Jesus Christ, and when we read it we can truly learn of his character and grow closer to him! My challenge to you all is to read 1 Nephi 11 and mark all the spots He is mentioned:) 


A quote from this AMAZING conference talk: 


"His is a fathers pure love-- universal to all yet personal to each."

Church X 4 Emojis

Milagros yall!! A few things from this week: - A family we are teaching came to church yesterday - One of our friends that we stopped teaching 2 months ago went to church/the baptism of her GRANDDAUGHTER yesterday and told the missionaries there that she wants us to teach her and pass by again!! - my heels are absolutely destroyed from walking a ton but I couldnt be happier to be in pain for the salvation of other people - I gave a talk and people could understand me haha!! My comp said my argentinian accent was so heavy at some points in my talk that she couldnt understand my spanish - a kid asked if I was chinese.   My favorite miracle this week:   while we were walking to a baptism for another ward, a guy stopped on his motorcycle and said "tengo una consulta", I was prepared to help him with dirrections, while my companion was preparing to run haha. He took off his helmet and my companions contenence changed completely. She said "I know you!! Albino!!". This man...

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas

It rained, it poured, it rained some more. And then it snowed. Yup. Its summer for yall but it is very much winter for me and the rest of la gente here in Argentina. This week was cold, and as I am writing this email I am looking out of our window(we live in the 8th floor of an apartment building) all I can see is fog. The poor weather made it harder to work but we pushed through.   Had my first (multi)zone conference this week in Roca and it was great to get to know other missionaries! For those of you new to mission lingo- each companionship of missionaries has an area that they cover. Every couple "areas" is a "district", and every couple "districts" is a "zone"! Zone conference is when we all gather at one church building and spend the morning(or day in our case) together!  We had exchanges! This is when missionaries who are leaders over a zone come to a different area and we switch companions for the day. Hermana Orme and I stayed in our are...

New Missionary Pt 2

Image
Yup, the title is correct. I got asked WAY to many times if I was a new missionary in my area that i've already been in for 6 weeks:( confirmed my thoughts of being pretty much invisible for the first transfer here in Argentina. So thats been real nice the past couple days. Oh and I got called fat in the street. Lets just say people are VERY open here and will not hold anything back.    Other than that, I have a new companion and she said that I have perfect spanish! At this moment I would like to thank my mother for speaking to me in spanish at home sometimes, because of that, I didnt completely loose the spanish I learned in high school many many years ago.   We had more miracles this week and one of our friends we have been teaching for a few weeks finally came to church! WOOHOOOO!!! I cried when he walked in, and then a less active member that we've been working with walked in. I was speachless, crying in gratitude, and saying prayers of thanks. God is real, he hears ...
