Cow Tongue Empanadas

I ate cow tongue this week. BUT it was in the form of empanadas, and the hermana didnt tell us when it was until we finished eating. They were actually really yummy and she gave me the recipe so when I get home yall are for sure trying cow tongue empanadas.


This week was pretty slow, but a miracle was that a family we are teaching that have been coming to church for a month accepted a baptismal date for june 29th!! Pray that the couple agrees to get married and that it can happen before the end of transfers(the 20th of june)! (Picture 1)


We had an amazing zone council and I felt the spirit so strong! (Picture 2)


I was brought to tears a few times. Ill attach the video they showed at the end, but we talked about the atonement of Jesus Christ, the power of prayer, and being diligent missionaries out of the love we have for the Lord, and for the people we are teaching. I felt the spirit testifying so strongly of the love that God has for the people in the area I am in.


ISAIAH 53:4-5
4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.


we also talked about showing our discipleship through our actions which lead to this quote:


"Live in a way that the people that dont know Jesus Christ want to get to know him because they know you"


My hope is that those of you who already know and have a relationship with Jesus Christ, will be an example and help other people want to know him. Be proud that you are a member of HIS church. Be proud a proud disciple of Jesus Christ. 


I love you all so much! SEND ME AN UPDATE!!

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 ...
