Week 51

Whatttt! This week was pretty awesome, heres a run down:


☆ our friend accepted a baptismal date for june 15th! She is so ready, we just have to help her get married to her boyfriend.


☆ had the FUNNIEST interaction of my whole mission on friday morning. We knocked a door and a 80 year old man named Ortiz opened the door. He shared with us how he has had 2 heart attacks, literally knocked on heavens door both times, but god didnt want him so he sent him back. Then we were talking about loving your neighbor and then he told us how someone stole his cell phone and I said," that is not loving your neighbor, is it?" And we were all laughing so hard. It was funnier in spanish. And in person. 


☆ on wednesday we recieved a reference from an ad on facebook! We sent her a text immediately and then we had a lesson with her on friday. It was an amazing lesson and she told us she was scared to fill out the ad but when we texted her right away she knew it was the right decision! Then she showed up to church yesterday with her boyfriend and younger brother!! It was a miracle!!! They are all so excited to come back to church. 


☆ I had my last interview with my current mission president!! I will be getting a new mission president in a month! The interview went well, and I am on the road to being myself again. My mission president is helping me heal


☆ my companion is so funny! She is from buenos aires but is NOT porteña. Her favorite sayings in english are:
 "I want it, I got it" "useless" "how embarrassing" "nobody"  "I dont know"


☆ I turned 20! Honestly is was a hard morning cause no one wanted ANYTHING. But we made it to lunch, and the hermana made me a cake! it turned my day around. 


This week was great! I have been praying to be able to help a family learn about the gospel and be baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We found that family this week. My heart is full of gratitude. I am so grateful that the Lord and his help in every moment:)


I love you all!! Thank you for all the birthday wishes

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

Image
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 ...
