She arrived!

Dear Pollock Family,

Sister Patania and I are pleased to inform you that Sister Pollock arrived in La Gran Misión Argentina Resistencia last night.  We welcomed her to the mission, ate dinner and let her rest. We had a small briefing of the fun facts and necessary information about the mission.  After that she met her new companion, Sister Valdivia and they headed off to open their area called Italia Centro in the province of Formosa.          

A mission is a wonderful experience filled with challenges and successes that strengthens the testimony of each missionary.  A great support that you as a family can give your daughter during her mission is uplifting letters.  In addition to using email, you can send letters to the office address:

Hermana Aliza Whitney Pollock
Misión Argentina Resistencia
Entre Ríos 435
Resistencia Chaco CP 3500
Argentina

 You may also send letters (and only letters taped shut; no envelopes) via the ¨pouch¨
                                             
      Hermana Aliza Whitney Pollock
                                                               Misión Argentina Resistencia
                                                               POB 30150
                                                               Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0150

We encourage each of our missionaries to email their parents each week. Please let me know if a reminder to her is needed. You may contact me at: aspatania@churchofjesuschrist.org

It will be our privilege to work closely with Sister Pollock here in Argentina.  We are blessed to have her join us in this mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Thank you for sharing your daughter with us.

Sincerely,

President Alejandro Salvador Patania
Misión Argentina Resistencia

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...
