hola todos,

Well first I want to say how much I LOVE Argentina, this place is truly heaven to me and I love the town Im in. I just never want to leave. (sorry to those who wanted me come back) chiste, jaja! I am so grateful to be here, I am constantly humbled, all the time! I have never learned so much spiritually, emotionally, and mentally in my life before. I feel so different about a lot of things and am changing so much..the power of Jesus Christ is real.

This week we didn´t have electricity again for like 5 days! lol, it is sketchy here haha I dont know why. We paid but apparently a cable broke, so a brother in the branch came and fixed it!! YAY! It was soo hot, so it was hard to sleep at night but its okay haha. Such is the life in the mision sometimes. I got sick kind of from the heat though Wednesday, so I slept for like 4 hours to cool down my fever that I had. I felt like I was burning up, cooking! when it gets so hot, I just get headaches from the sun sometimes. I also have got a cold now haha so I sneeze way more than usual now! haha for those of your who know me pretty well, I sneeze like 20 times a day usually, so now is like 30+ idk. The summers here in Lavalle, Agentina are NO bueno! muy malo, its horrible! But I still love it here!

We have found a lot more investigadores this week! like 5! We are also going to have another baptism, for the sister of Elmer who is 10!! But , we have to teach her a lot still, so it wont be until like 2 weeks from now maybe. She has so much faith though! she is reading the Book of Mormon EVERY day! She believes in it so strongly it is amazing! the children here always amaze me sooo much, I am shocked.

We had exchanges 2 weeks ago, and I stayed here!! with hna Olson, and it was so great! I didnt get lost!! haha , my area is so big so it is easy to get lost (for me at least lol). we found a new investigadore who is golden that day, and another the day after!! Working with the members is so great too, they help so much! My trainer has been so awesome too, I love her so much. I´m just so thankful for all her help. She is the best teacher and takes the work seriously, and works hard! it is a blessing to have a comp like her. Im going to miss her soo much when she leaves..:(

Last p-day we did a slip n slide with some hermanas!! it was so fun, and today we are going to a big park in Mendoza, parque central, and then to this giant store like Ikea here! 
Yesterday I also gave my first talk here in the church, and it went pretty well! some of my favorite quotes that I have found recently are;
´A man filled with the love of God, is not content with just blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race´-Joseph smith
´true doctrine, understood, changes attitude and behaviour. The study of the doctrine of the gospel will improve behavious quicker than the study of behavious will improve behaviour´- boyd k Packer

last one....

hello everyone! well, i just have a couple last things to share here. This is going to be my last week of my mision. it is amazing to me. I have learned so much here more than ever before in my whole life. I think i am in debt to my father in heaven for all he has done for me! there are no words to describe it in any language. We have found 6 new people to teach! I am loving it. one if them is Estefania she is so special and i feel so bad for her. she doesnt have work (like 80% of the people here), and is a single mom of 3. Very humble. I felt the spirit so strong iwth her. Nancy is doing really well witrh the ward too here , it is amazing to see the  chagne in people. I will miss it very much. The ward here has taught me so many things that will change my life forever. It is a ward where there is unity and faith and actual conversion in the Lord Jesus Christ. I dont have time to send pictures, but in just a week or so you will all see more anyways after. Sorry haha. Today has been pac

I also had to go to the doctor again for my knees so they would give me another medicine. We also had to go to the dinner for the newbies missionaries that came this week, and the 1st training meeting! it was so funny because the asistentes invited us on short notice for the dinner and the training meeting, and we were like..uh but we already have been in training for a month now! hah but we went anyways. I felt like a newbie being with all them again haha! crazy that next month i will have been here in argentina for a year! A lot of people have rejected us this week as we talked to them, and i dont think i felt physically more exhausted
