2 Months in the Mission

So this week was a lot better!  Let me just tell you that praying is probably the only thing that is getting me through this hard part of the mission. I am so grateful that I learned how to pray and talk to my Father in Heaven before my mission so that I can really talk and rely on Him while on my mission. This week we had no hot water, so I feel like I have really experienced a mission.  It's not as fun because it's starting to get cold, so in the morning when it is really cold, the water is really cold, so I just kinda really don't like taking showers sometimes. This week we had the chance to be in the Elders area because we are in the same ward and we went to go eat at the bishops house who lives in there area.  They really do put the Hermanas in the better areas, because at one house there was a house arrest going on and at another house there was a fight going on, it was so interesting, and scary, and exciting at the same time.  My favorite food here is Empanadas!, but the Argentina empanadas because they are the only best!

Just one thing that has really been getting me through this week was Doctrine and Covenants 58:2-4, this scripture has really been helping me through this week and helping me to remember that through faith, I can do all things. I just need to remember to put my faith in the Lord and He will bless me with the language.  Anyways, love you guys all so much and hope you have a good week as well. Peace!

1 Month until General Conference

Yay we had a baptism this week por fin!!!!!!! It was so good, the family came with 8/14 of their kids so that was good!!! and the kids were so happy to get baptized! We also had two of the young men who are 16 years old baptize them. It was really cute to see them have their first baptism. Other than that, like always, not much happened. We had a tranquila semana and for two days I was with a different hermana. We had a great time together and we made brownies which was my first time in the mission. They were so good!!!! Remember that we are one month away from general conference and so we have a little time to prepare!!!! But how awesome it is to learn more about Joseph Smith and his story and how important it is to know that through Joseph Smith, we have the church of Jesus Christ again on the earth and the chance to have the gospel in our lives and feel this happiness that it brings into our lives! Love you all and hope that you all have a great week and make good decision...

Happy New Year ya'll!!!!!! This week was really good! Well, in some ways. First of all, New Years Day was just a chill day, we didn't do anything, just hung out with other missionaries and played games and watched movies. It was really fun! Other than that, there was only one other thing that really happened on Saturday, which was really kinda funny. So what happened is that this day was kinda hard for us because we didn't really feel very good, but we had so many people that yelled at us when we were in the street. Lots of members from other places, but the funniest one was when this drunk guy yelled at us and said "hermanas, when are you going to come and visit me?" and he crossed the street to come and talk to us, which we did, and he said that it was really hard to read our names and that they were in English so he didn't understand our names, but then he said that he wanted a book so we gave him a folleto and then he told us to give him one of our chu...

Hey everyone, this week was kinda crazy! It was my last week in my first area, Italia Centro.. RIP... but now I´m in a new area called San Martin (Misiones, Posadas) it is so cool and way different than my first area. This place has red dirt, hills, and trees. So it's way different than what I ́m used to, but I know that it will be really good for me, and that God has prepared this place and the people for me and my companion. Before I actually came to this area, in my older area, I ran into a tree... I thought you might like to know that. The only tree in Formosa, and I happened to run into it. But I ́m fine, I just have a little mark not too noticeable, but I'll send a picture. My new companion ́s name is Hermana Rowlings and she is from Nebraska. She only has for months left in the mission, so this will probably end up being her last area, so I have no idea how long I will be here. My companion and I are both new to the area so we are going to have a fun time figuring ev...
