Re:

oh yeah, thank you all for the christmas cards I got!! haha, 2 months later! lol there is a reason it is called snail mail! Also, the mision has a exercise competition now! So we are having to write down every exercise we do, and the minutes of running too. The reward is to watch Star wars!!! (In first place, second place is just ice cream haha which we can do any day) SO WE ARE GOING TO WIN! I already decided that. I am so PUMPED!

Hola Todos,

This week we found 11 new investigators! it was awesome, but, many are not really progressing or attending church...it is frustrating. and still a lot of the new investigators are..wait for it: not married. YEP! Everyone here lives with their spouse but isn´t married and it is crazy. I dont know why. Only 1 woman we found was married this week, and I was surpised! But, we might have a bautismo this saturday. A little girl, Joana, who has wanted to be bautised for a month but hasnt got permision, but we are going to work with her mom this week!

Me and Hna Reyes were sick this weekend, Me yesterday, and she was sick saturday. I think it was from food we ate honestly...from a lunch we had with an investigador,, they fed us homade noodles. But it made my stomach horrible the whole day after! I felt awful. My bike also broke, the tire, and the inside tire part too, like 3 more times this week! It was crazy! I was so frustrated! We couldt go to some appointments because of that. but such is the mision sometimes!

We are going to more and MORE areas! Seriously, my area is the BIGGEST Province Mendoza I think, it is just soooo huge. Like as big as the whole Salt Lake Valley, or all of St marys county. it goes for like 150 Kilometers maybe all around. Im not kidding. There is so much work to do! so much pressure! So many people to contact and teach!!!

funny thing that happened this week: My companion had to go to the bathroom while we were at a members house out in the fields, and they don´t have normal bathrooms there...just old, old, port o potties! but she didnt know I forgot to tell her!! so she asked to go, and they were like uh...well we have the outhouse if you want? So she went out and was like uh! okay then...lol! and I had to hold the door for her and block her haha it was a funny adventure. I couldnt help but laugh  a little!

sorry thats about it this week! But I am loving it here, and couñlt imagine my life without the mision. The members are like my family, because when I miss my family or home, they are always there for me and make me feel like Im not so far from home!

¡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...
