A God Of Order!

This week was weird. It has been the first week that a I truly have not been able to fulfill my purpose as a missionary. But amongst the challenges there were still many miracles!

- on monday night we found a family that are friends with members. I am so excited to start teaching them as a family

- we talked with a group of pibes(children, 16-24yrs) and it was SO funny

- when we were saying goodbye to this group of teenagers, a man starting speaking to us in english so we spoke to him! His name is richard and wanted to know why we were always so happy when we walked by his work! We shared our testimonies and he asked us to teach him

- a woman, on crack, stole some of our french fries, DONT DO DRUGS!

- got to know my mission president and his family a LOT better! And ate milanesas(basically a german schnitzel) with them in their house at 12:30am on tuesday night

During this "dinner" my president made me read this scripture outloud:

[ "27 And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order." 

Mosiah 4:27


And well, he told me to take a day off. I did, and I felt more guilt being in my apartment all day but I knew that my body needed it, and will probably continue to need the breaks. I am so grateful for a loving mission president and his wife, and for the revelation he recieves for me as a missionary! 

I love you all! If you like an update on my *health* just continue. If not, i hope you have an amazing week!

WELL! I saw a psycologist this week. On tuesday night I was in the hospital while people rushed around me doing heart scans. For now, the conclusion was that I was having my first ever anxiety attack, but with only physical symptoms(how fun!). From tuesday afternoon until I have had an almost constant buring in my chest, making it almost impossible to feel the influence of the holy ghost(literally my best friend as a missionary). The only time that I did not feel pain after tueday, was during the sacrament yesterday. How powerful. I still do not have a diagnosis, but it is most likely I have a genetically inherited anxiety disorder and ADHD. I do not know what the rest of my mission will look like, but I know there is a reason for my pain and that God has a beautiful plan laid out for me.

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 ...
