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.

¡Bienvenido!

¡Hola mis amigos y familia! This is of course my first blog post. I am a missionary that has been called to the Mendoza Argentina Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Also known as, the Mormon church. I report to the Provo Utah missionary training center(MTC) on the 27th of September. Just a week away! Wahoo! Crazy how soon it is. Well why am I  going on a mission? Some may ask, why are you going on a mission for a church that makes you follow such strict rules? You can't see your family or friends at all for 18 months?! You won't have your cell phone? You can't return home even for big events? You can't do whatever you want on the trip? Why is it so long? Why are you going then? And, et cetera. But I am here to tell you the answer. I'm so excited to be able to serve a mission for my church. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the reason I am the way I am today. It has shaped my life and who I am. I am so happy that I have a relat...

Last week of the MTC, Agentina is where I'll be!

Sorry I sent that other one on accident too early!! haha! So Hola again, This is my last week here like I said haha, so I'll be in Argentina in 2 days! It is so crazy and surreal to think that and imagine actually being there, for a year and a half! And it will be warm there!! SO weird haha, I'll have to get used to the southern hemisphere! So my next P-day also won't be next Saturday again most likely, it will change so I'll have to tell you all about how it goes later. This week one of the best parts was Halloween!!! It was the best one yet, because we dressed up (me and my companion) as M&M's! it was so cute! We are Martines and Mallet, so that's why haha. There are going to be pictures attached from it. Me and Mallett also gave everyone cute Halloween gifts/notes with jokes and pictures on it, glow sitcks and candy!! It was so cute they all loved it jaja! It was also a really good day because we all bore our testimonies in Español as well, which was real...
