Helped A Lost Dog, Got Cat-Called And Ate Medialunas

Happy monday everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather up there in the northern hemisphere, as I have been starting to bundle up with record lows for fall in argentina (temps between 32-45°) 
 

This week went by like a mini-van on the high way. Half of them drive super fast and the other drive super slow! 

 
We had stake conference yesterday and it was amazing! My mission president shared about the atonement of Jesus Christ and the stake president shared about the importance of testifying of that Jesus is the Christ. It was incredible. I felt the spirit testifying to me strongly of the importance of the relationship I already have with Jesus Christ.

 
On tuesday we had a lesson in a park. A dog joined us, and ended up sitting with us the whole time. And then followed us when we crossed the highway. So we decided to call the number that was in its coller and we waiting with the dog(named milo) until his owner came and picked him up! She said "he must've followed someone..." yes ma'am, he followed us
 

On wednesday we planned to visit some grey dots(people that used to be taught) in the afternoon. After one of our lessons a random number texted us and asked if we could visit her. Surprise, it was one of the grey dots we had put in our plan for later that day!! She was in a very dark spot and wanted us to share a message with her because she knew/knows that the message we share as missionaries really is a message of joy, peace, and love. Oh how I love being able to help people in the best way!

 
Besides that, we had a few interesting interactions this morning, we went to buy at a supermarket(like walmart) and the segurity person stopped us and asked if we were mormons. Then he just stared at me. When we were checking out, a grandma started looking at the sweater I was going to buy, the cashier started to charge us more then we bought, and this segurity man came to our register and showed me his identification card and asked me if I was going to remember his name. We RAN so fast out of the store. Then we got onto a bus and the driver made a comment that im not gonna put on this email HAHA. we got to some seats and my companion said, "its your eyes today. People just think you are too pretty" SO FUNNY. but also im so grateful that I have the holy ghost as my constant companion to help guide me in these situations!
 

watch out for the grandmas, cashiers, chofers, and segurity gaurds this week!
 

With so much love,
Hermana Carden

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 ...
