Hola todos,

My compañera is going home this week! AH! its crazy, today we had to buy another duffle bag for her, and have to get her haircut, (mi too) and get rid of some of her clothes haha. Shes doing great though and super duper diligente!!!

For some reason lately we have just been struggling with the people we are teaching, the brother that is going to get married is going to have to wait 3 more weeks. But its going to come! The other investigador is going to get baptised the 15 of June we are hoping, but has to attend church but hes afraid to leave his sick mom home! ah..bueno. praying for him to have more faith. 

We had a miracle though yesterday, we found 2 new investigadores that are golden! One of them, a girl came without inviting! Her friend from another area told her to go to the mormon church, and she came! Shes perfect! And that night, a recent convert told us he has a friend to introduce us to! He is golden too, super interested in finding the true church and about what happens after life here! we are so grateful for these blessings. 

We had a zone conference this week! It was super great! But sad still that Elder holland cant come now :( I learned so much in the conference, about how to teach super clear, short, and focusing in the committments. also something that we do as a mission is meditate and pray about our investigadores for 30 minutes every morning, that has helped a lot the past couple months. Sometimes when I get stressed or just sad about the people we are teaching, when they dont progress, I think about what Heavenly Father thinks too. That he has tanto paciencia, and is filled with love and understanding. I sometimes just miss the temple and really wish I could go there to feel closer to the Lord! How lucky those of you are who are able to go to the temple.

This week was day of the Argentine independencia! 25 de Mayo! So we saw 1,000 flags everywhere haha it was awesome! I bought a flag myself :) also, the dollar is 24 pesos now here! its crazy haha, I feel bad for the people here..the economy is just terrible. but I love it here still and love teaching peoeple the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! what a blessing to be able to do this.

Hermana Martines
Pics will come

¡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...
