city life = the good life

Hola todos,

Mi nueva compañera es Hermana Tica! Shes from Cusco, Peru! Shes finishing her mission this transfer!! in the mission we say 'shes dying, so Im the compañera that is going to kill her' but its just a joke! AH so we'll be together just one transfer haha, idk what will happen then after and what companera or if im going to train? Also, Ive been out 7 months now!! AH! the time is going by soo fast. In two weeks we are going to skype with our families for mother day!!!

We already had a baptism yesterday!? haha it was crazy ! I got to my compañera and she said that 'we are going to have a baptism this sunday so get ready to work!' and it happened , it was a 9 yr old boy se llama Nataniel. Hes super great, it was sweet at his baptism because he was crying because he felt the spirit so strong and said 'thank you mama for this opportunity'. 

my new Area, Libertador, is bacially the captial of this province San Juan. Its ALL RICH PEOPLE! haha the opposite of the other area. But, surprisingly the people are open and humble still! We found 12 new investigadores, but we have to put more baptismo dates. One of the investigadores we have is going to get married too this month so he can get baptised!! Im so happy, at last hah someone is going t oget married to get baptised (if you live with someone but not married, you have to get married to be baptised because its against a commandment to live together and not be married)

The ward here is as big as the branch in Lavalle, but the members work more with us. The lider misional is AWESOME, but he makes me laugh because he reminds so much me of Leslie and Tom from parks and rec, if you have seen that show. (basically he is a mision leader on steriods haha because of his engery, his excitement for the work is through the roof) its so funny! his name is Hermano Javier Chacon, in the other branch we didnt really have a lider misional.

I hope everyone has a great week! I love it here so much. Ive begun to understand how the work we are doing is literally bringing souls to Christ, and this kind of work changes you into a new person. THats why its not a mission for just '3 months' or even a year. Because one cannot be changed into a new person in that little bit of time, but this change happens over a long period of time, and it continues for the rest of your life. I would never trade anything for the opportunity that Ive had to be here.

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
