In The Field!

So getting to Argentina was one of the longest 48 hours of my life! Pretty much didn´t get any sleep and let me tell you, do not drink the water in Panama. I am regretting it now! But, I had to say goodbye to my companion from the CCM, but I know she is going to do amazing things in Uruguay. Had to say goodbye to my district which was really sad too because when you are with people for 24 hours each day you get close and it's sad to say goodbye. They are all going to be amazing missionaries in their missions. But for traveling, I had only one person from my district with me, so we kinda became each others companions during the trip. Which we called each other our favorite Illegal companion, because my "companion" was an Elder. But we had so much fun and it was really sad to say goodbye to the last person in my district.

Fun fact, my Mission President doesn't know any English, but he speaks slow enough that you can pretty much understand what he is saying. My Trainer (or Mom) is a Latino from Nicaragua and she is so nice and so loving and even though I don't understand her half the time, she is there trying to make sure I understand her and what is going on. She has been out for 7 months, and the area we are going to, she has never been too, so we both don't know the area, that will be an adventure of finding out the places together.

Always remember that God knows what you are going through and He is there to help you and make your life a little easier. Not all the way easier, but just a little so it's not too overwhelming.

Hope you all have a good week and please be safe!

Peace out from Argentina

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...
