hola todos,

This week was a crazy week, we couldnt do much because of all the hermanas in our apartment that stayed with us, for going home, coming to train, and for paperwork stuff and other meetings for the leaders. 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 in my mision than this week. We talked with maybe 25 people but out of that only 5 acepted us. It was crazy. We walked everywhere and with the sisters coming every night we were exhausted, but i think i have learned a lot about diligence and pacience this week. I have learned how to serve more and forget myself in the work! Me and Hermana Saad (btw, whos family is from Syria how cool is that!) have a lot of goals this transfer to complete!  were going to plan a lot of things with the members and the ward. Im super pumped. Hermana Saad is a fireball worker even though shes just begining! 

Today we had a pday 'tranky' (no super busy) and i was so happy i got to drink mate, which we cant drink other normal days. and we got to sleep and watch a movie, finally calming things down haha. I love my mision and everything that im learning. I just know this gospel is the only thing that brings tru happiness! I have seen so many changes in the lives of others because of it. We're teahcing a young man who told us that he has esquizofrenia, and his ex girlfriend too. When they had a baby, the judges took him away from them..because they said that they couldnt raise a child. He was a drug adict and alcoholic, and became depressed but has changed his life a lot and goes to a christian church now. But it was incredible to see his faith and acept us into his life! Im super excited for him to see how he progresses!

¡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
