hola todos 

So today we went to a members house for pday and had churros and mate! it was so fun! i love her and her family so much, they are amazing! my favorite people ever! Her name is Anai Rojas Perez, and she is buildling her own second house?! she is incredible, literally building her house (there will be a foto of this palce)

this week as the heading states, I got a stomach virus for 4 days..me and my companion were awfully sick from last monday to fridayish, and it was from Peruvian food we ate! it was terrible..lol sorry to those who like arroz choclo, some dish from Peru, but it gave me a stomach virus and it finally is gone! it was horrible. also the water here apparently has some percentage of arsenic, so the filter we have isn´t that great...the water has apparently had an effect on my body the people have told me here?! im like 95% sure that I am fine and safe haha health wise maybe idk

Something that I am learning here is patience in the Lords timing haha because it is frustrating, so frustrating, when people dont keep their committments. I just feel like throwing in the towel almost sometimes when people that say they are going to keept a committment, and after many times, they dont. But some of the investigadores (people that we teach btw) do progress, and keep committments, or at least they try their best. One thing that is hard here is the bus system, that people have to use here to get to church, is hard on Sundays because the people often dont have money to pay to get to the chapel and it is sad. 

Also, something interesting here is that people think that our church is 'from the united states,' and think its wierd we are here in Argentina haha. Also is it rare that someone knows how to drive here, so when people have asked me if I know how to drive and I say yes, they're like'ohh my gosh woah..lucky..or they say how scary haha!

This week we did find 2 more golden investigadores though that really made the week! they are awesome and we found one of them in a far away area, like 30 minutes in bikes from the main town. it has been a fun adventure going out to more new areas! It is always the best with Hermana Reyes!

I have learned even so much more this week about the way the Lord works. I love studying everyday and just am so grateful that I am here...I cannot imagine my life without having served a mision and the time is going so fast! I will finish 5 months tomorrow!! I have grown so much in my knowledge of the Savior and testify that through Him and His gospel all problems that we have, can be solved. Through him we can find peace like nothing else and joy like the world cannot give.

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
