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!

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
