(Sh)Yankee Go Home

So those are a few things that were said this week, life as a missionary is so interesting yall, I love it! This week me and Hermana Orme ate empanadas from a member that we should not have eaten.. lets just say the preparation and cooking of said empanadas was NOT sanitary. We suffered for a little bit. This week I also had the pleasure of "riding"(squating) in the back of a van, while basically off-roading for about 20 minutes:) lets just say my knees were a little sore after that hahah.


Seriously though, Yall. We had SO. MANY. MIRACLES. We met the kids of a person we are teaching, got to go into their house to teach a lesson(#poderdemate) and they came to our english class(at the church), a BAPTISM(also in the church) and then they came to BOTH hours of church!! Tears were shed when they walked into the church building yesterday.  Another miracle was that we have someone with a date to be baptized(august 26th!), we gifted 5 Book(s?) Of Mormon this week, spanish is so much easier, and we got to teach a (different) family twice and only the mom is a member!! 


Ahhh!! Such an amazing week, so much mate, so much bread and pasta, so many miracles and SO many amazing people. Like it says in the picture below: Jesus es vida! And when his is your "vida" everything else is easier


Love you all!! Hope yall are surviving the heat. Hate to say it but the weather is pretty great here

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 ...
