Hola todos,

I am staying! transfers was yesterday, but me and hna reyes are staying another 6 weeks together here!!! I AM SO HAPPY! Hermana Reyes is litterally the best person I have met here and I am soo blessed and lucky to know her and to have her as my companion!! I really feel that we were meant to be together, and knew each other in heaven before this life. We are so close, and everyday is amazing with her. We have never had an argument, or anything bad happen, its just amazing. I will cry so much when I have to say goodbye to her...Im thinking about going to el salvador when i finish the mision to live with her and her family instead of going home! (jk haha) but really, she is one of my bestest friends in the whole world.

this week we have another investigador who is going to be baptized, on april 7!! and we have bautismo next saturday, the 24!! I am so happy to see these people progress, to feel that hard work pays off. one of our golden investigadores though, she cant progress because her 'husband' doesnt want her to, is not going to allow her too...its so depressing. She just wants to be bautised, but she isnt married. and her husband doesnt want to be married. so sad. 

another less active family was robbed 2 weeks ago, so they were asking us to visit them and we went thursday. It is sad to see things like this happen a lot here, but the people are really strong and it humbles them to have more faith. We did a family home evening friday in an area really far, with members there and it was so much fun!! we did games and talked about the blessings of the gospel for families and marriages. 

today we went to a cute museum here in Lavalle! it was a history museo, and has a map of our area, and its giant! so fun! also it is almost fall and I am so happy I have missed cool weather so much! we are going to watch a movie later today called Coco, we got permision, to watch it with some members! 

I think that is all for this week! amor a todos! gracias por sus oraciones para mi!
Hermana Chelsea Martines

¡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...
