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 ...

Sorry I didnt write a group email last week I was busy talking to my family,.! we got to skype too for mothers day! I love my mom very, very much. She is the reason I am who I am, and thanks to her I am here today on my mission! (along with my dad) Some sad news, is that Elder holland got cancelled :( hes going to give a conference for the members but not for the missionaries now. so recap maybe of the last 2 weeks, well a lot of our investigadores have had strange health problems happen ( the opposition, thanks to the adversary) soo like 5 of them we havent been able to see for 2 weeks haha, and one of them dropped us. (the elders say that we bring bad luck hahah) Im worried about one of them because he is 86 yrs old, yeah, 86! and has to have a surgery  for his heart and its a 40% chance that he doesnt come ...

Hola todos, Mi nueva compañera es Hermana Tica! Shes from Cusco, Peru! Shes finishing her mission this transfer!! in the mission we say 'shes dying, so Im the compañera that is going to kill her' but its just a joke! AH so we'll be together just one transfer haha, idk what will happen then after and what companera or if im going to train? Also, Ive been out 7 months now!! AH! the time is going by soo fast. In two weeks we are going to skype with our families for mother day!!! We already had a baptism yesterday!? haha it was crazy ! I got to my compañera and she said that 'we are going to have a baptism this sunday so get ready to work!' and it happened , it was a 9 yr old boy se llama Nataniel. Hes super great, it was sweet at his baptism because he was crying because he felt the spirit so strong and said 'thank you mama for this opportunity'.  my new Area, Libertador, is bacially the captial of this province San Juan. Its ALL RICH PEOPLE! haha the opposite ...

hola todos, this week was good, becuase we had a lot more lessons with members and are finding more investifgadores! I might have just one week left here!! I dont know where I will go, or with what companion. But I hope I will adjust well haha. Well, the investigador that came to church last week broke our heart because she said that she felt empty in the church and didnt like. so that really didnt make any sense but okay haha. It was super sad to hear her whole story. We are going one more time to teach her but then if she doesnt progress anymore and still feels 'empty,' we are going to drop her. I dont think shes really prepared now, maybe in the future   My companion has been better with her health ,we went to the hospital 2 times this week for her tests and everything is fine I guess?! it was strange. But, we have to massage her back they say for her blood flow. So we have an appt for a massage with a lady tonight!  The other people we are teaching are doing well, but still...

hola todos, so this week mi comañera fainted Saturday!! she fainted ON ME! INTO MY ARMS! haha soo that was crazy. We had lunch kinda far away in bikes, and we got back to the apartment and there was a funeral outside (remember we live above a funeral home?) and all the people were there waiting to go in, and it just so happed that one of our investigadores and less active members were there. We talked for like 3 minutes with them and my comp says 'hermana I dont feel so good' and went to sit down for a minute, and I said 'ok hermana we'll go sit in the apartment in a sec,' but then we started walking towards the stairs, and she leaned on the wall, and fainted right on top of me basically! into my arms! and I couldnt hold her because she is like 2X my size!! AH! it was crazy, and she fell onto the ground kinda, I ran to get the people that we know come help becuase I was freaking out! We tried testing her pulse and it was super low apparently. so they called the poli...

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 w...
