Hola todos,

this week was filled with a lot of experiences, both good and bad haha. So yeah, first i will explain the subject: we went to the member we always eat lunch with on Friday, and they had 'tacos,' but it was cows tongue meat! and they didnt tell me till after haha so then i got sick to my stomach again that day haha, but its okay. Another food that I love here is facturas! And Milanesa, which is like a giant chicken nugget lol that everyone always has for lunch.

So last pday we went to the acuariam here! It was so little! lol but cute and fun. My camera died so my companion had the fotos, i will get them from here in a minute lol. It was so fun! me and Hna Reyes get along like 2 peas in a pod. Everyday is an amazing adventure with her and I will miss her soooooooooooo much after the mish! I will go and visit her if I can in El Salvador! (ps I love that El Salvador means The Savior in English)

We have been experimenting a lot of new areas, even more this week! BUT the problem has still been my bike! I dont know why I have a cursed bike or something! but the tire , it turns out, is too big, not the right size. so frustrating!!!!! because I already got a new tire 2 weeks ago, but we took it to the bici shop again today so I am praying it will be okay now. So when we were going out to some appointments, it disinflated and I had to walk my bike back to the city. for Like an hour of walkting my bike. so frustrating. But my companion has been always so cheerful and helpful through those times haha! 

We had exchanges this week and my trainer came back with me!!!! So fun! we had Asado, which is the best food here! (I had it like 4 times this week, blessing). With all our new invesitgadores, which is like 23 maybe now, only a few a progressing. It is hard because I want t them to come to church sooo bad, and to read the folletos, and the book of mormon, but just a few a progressing, like 5. The Lord always teaches his servants patience haha and answers prayers in his timing. 

Another really sad thing is that one of the less active sisters, has breast cancer and this past week was robbed of EVERYTHING...it was tragic.. the pictures of her tiny, humble, poor house..completely destroyed. She lives in a dangerous part of my area anywany, but the pictures...were just horrifying and now she is back in the hospital. Her kids dont have stuff for school now, or clothes or food. and she doesnt have a husband. I wish we as missionaries could do more for her but we cant, so we are trying to find old sister missionary clothing for her, and choes for her kids. We are going to make her family a meal one day this week too. 

bueno, I think that is all! Love you all, and I love my Savior. He is real as the aire we breath, the words on this page you read. I have never loved Him so much in my whole life and want to serve Him forever.

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

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
