Wedding, Baptism, Christmas

What an amazing week!!


2 people that the elders in my ward are teaching got married this week and they invited us too!! We ate something called "pollo al disco" after that was amazing. The same night one of our friends, Lautaro, got baptized!! He is 9 years old and after he left the font he said, "I am never going to forget this feeling!!!" It was such a wholesome moment. 


Honestly as I am looking back at this week there was a lot of rejection, a little bit of a dangerous situation, and the economy in argentina is being reconstructed and the prices of everything went up and we arent gonna get more plata(money). But this was one of the best weeks of my mission!! I honestly have never been happier in my life. 


I know that when we have the right focus in our life, we can have "eternal happiness", or "joy". This week I thought a lot about the birth of the Savior. He knew his purpose, and his mission at a very young age and lived so that he could complete his purpose everyday, in every interaction. As a missionary, I am working every day, in every interaction, to complete my missionary purpose. I want you all to ponder and what your purpose is. Because of the plan of salvation, we know we have a purpose in this life. Find the right focus, and you WILL find joy at the end of everyday.


I love you all soso much. I would love to hear from you all today. My request for christmas is that you all can send a memory we have together


MERRY CHRISTMAS, I LOVE YOU AND SO DOES YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER!!

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 ...
