hola todos,

Happy late Easter! I love easter and we had general conference to celebrate it this weekend! it was so great, the apóstoles talked to us about the resurrection a lot, and the atonement of Jesus Christ. I am so greatful for them and the new prophet Russell M Nelson!! Here in Argentina they dont really do anything for easter haha like the US, but they eat chocolate eggs and thats about it.

We had 6 investigadores attend the conference! it was a great day, and the members of the branch all went too! My favorite talk was by Elder Bendar, my fav apostol, about 'mansedumbre' which is in spanish I know haha, but I dont know how to translate it into inglish idk? (We watched the conference all in spanish) but it was bascially about humilty and becoming like the Savior. Also, I loved Massimo de Feo or something like that, his talk was so good! Also, Pres Nelsons talk, and Eyering and Pres oaks! (Well, I loved all of them tbh hahah) Something That really stood out to me is that Jesucristo litterally guides this church today ,and He LIVES! I just know that, he truly lives today and overcame death, all sickness, sadness, problems of the world and for each person, so that we can live again one day in a perfect place and have happiness in this life. I just love that

We had exchanges again this week, but the sisters came to our area both to work with us! but my trainer was with me again, but she just wanted to visit a lot the members and investigadores not go to the appointments that I had...sooo that was a little bit frustrating haha. Also, my compañera fell in her bike that day! and we had to go to medico the next day! The hospital here is FREE!!??! but, it is NOTHING compared to the ones in the US! haha! seriously, people you dont have any idea what america has until you have left america. The 'free hospitals' are like nothing haha, they dont have a front desk or people that take care of you right away, you have to wait until someone comes around when they feel like it. and the hospital is just old, old, old! Very different..the public gonverment paid hospital for ya here in Argentina haha. turns out that my comp. just injured her shoulder, like bruised it really bad, she couldnt move it very well, but it is a lot better now!

my most recent convert (besides myself haha), Hugo, has been having some problems with his work which makes me sad becuase his faith is down a little and his family is worried about money a lot right now. It just makes me so sad that as missionaries we cant give money to people (even personal money) when people need it, the only thing we can do it teach the gospel and pray for them. He was like 'I just dont understand why God has made me life like this after I followed what was right...all I need is a good job and I would like even a little money for a haircut and to be able to fix my car..' but it was so sad, so sad. But they came to the conference still which was super awesome!!

I hope you each have a great week!!

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

¡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 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
