"The Savior was[is] 'A strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat'(Isaiah 25:4)" 
 

"In me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world"(John 16:33)

 
This week I focused on accessing the comforting, "peace of mind" and "healing of body and spirit" power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I have been sick for about 2 weeks now, and so stressed with my area still! We got transfer news and I found out I will be in Cipolletti with my companion for another 6 weeks, you can ask my mom how I feel about that! Definitly going to be relying on the Savior the next month and a half. I hope these scriptures brought you guys a little comfort, cause they just about saved my week. He was my shadow in the heat, the aloe-vera to my sunburnt soul, and the literally air in my lungs when I couldnt breath at night due to my allergies. Yall, I really am surviving out here
 

A miracle we had this week was we went to see if a member still lived at a specific address and her daughter answered and said that her mom was the member and that she had passed away in January. We felt SO bad, but then asked if we could share a message with her. She invited us into her house and she told us that she was trying to find medicine for her allergies and ended up finding a pamphlet from the missionaries that was her moms! She found this Pamphlet the day before we came. We taught a lesson about the Plan of Salvation and that she CAN see her mom again! The spirit was so strong. And then we were trying to see if one of our friends was home and his wife answered. She said that missionaries had taught her and her family 4 years ago when she lived in Buenos Aires and that it was so crazy that the missionaries found her again! I know that finding these 2 people werent a coincedense(i know thats spelled wrong but im not sure how its spelled lol).
 

THE LORD LOVES YOU ALL SO FREAKING MUCH! He is SO proud of you. I am SO proud of you.

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 ...
