Hermana Aliza Pollock

Well, this week was kinda long for me. But we will start off with this one story. On Tuesday I was in divisions with the Hermana with the same time as me. We were contacting, and were talking to this lady, and she told us to sit down so we could talk. So we grabbed some chairs and started to talk to her. But the thing was, she wouldn't talk back to us. We know she knows how, because she talked a little. But she took the folleto that we were talking about, opened it up, and would point to the page. So then we would just explain that page. She did that with the whole folleto without saying a word. I was kinda just like, ok if you're not going to talk, I'm just going to testify to you about everything in this folleto. It was about the Plan of Salvation. At first in the lesson we couldn't really feel the Spirit, but by the end, it was so strong and we could see that something changed in her heart. So I said we could end with a prayer, she said yes and my companion fo...

This week has been a little stressful because we had a lot of planing for some baptisms, which was really loco. We were planning on three this week, but two of them fell through. One the day before and another the day of the baptism. We were planning on Si o si two brothers, but then one of the brothers left with his grandma the night before the baptism and his mother didn't say anything, which is really hard because she wants them to get baptized, but she just lets them do what they want. But she told us that the other brother can be baptized the next Saturday si o si. So really hoping that he doesn't leave with his grandma again and that we can actually plan for his baptism. We are planning for the family this Saturday as well, but they have been a little busy this week which has been a little hard with teaching them and getting them to church. But all is good in Argentina, it's starting to get a lot warmer and right now I am in the hottest area in the mission, so I hope...

This week was a little crazy. To start, I love my new companion, she is so awesome! We have so much fun together and it has been really nice being able to visit all my people with her. This week we were in a trio, so I haven't really had one week with just us. But the trio was really fun. We partied like all the time. But had lots of fun. Later this week on Saturday, we found out that one of the Hermanas had to go to the hospital to get surgery and so our Saturday morning was spent in the hospital with her and her companion, and chilling with the zone leaders while she was having the surgery. Then chilled with her during the siesta tiempo (12-4 we study during this time because the people are sleeping) then in the afternoon we went on divisiones and contacted in my area because we needed new people. Then went back to the hospital to switch companions, but this time I was with the companion of the Hermana in the hospital and we went back to our pension and she came to our churc...

Tuesday Sept 10th, This week was good, it was my last week with my first companion, and she was kinda not happy about her new companion and she didn´t like to contact very much because she knew she was leaving. But it was sad to see her go and after being with my trainer for 4 months its going to be different adjusting to a new companion. Tomorrow is my first day working with my new companion. Her name is Hermana Ardaist and she is from Cordoba Argentina. Everyone thinks she is from the United states. But she is so cool and funny and I´m excited to be with her for this translado. After this translado, I leave Formosa and go to a different area. But really excited to be working hard in this next translado with my new companion with getting people prepared for baptism. Also this month of September is the month of the Book of Mormon, and so that is one thing that I really like. This week we are going to do an activity about the Book of Mormon in the plaza and invited all people to co...

This week was good. Multizona was a ton of fun because I understood everything!! We then talked to presidente and he said that I will probably spend one more transfer in my area but with a new companion, so it's going to be a change for me, but at the same time it could change and I could be the one leaving. On Wednesday, we watched Presidente Nelson and it was so good!! Our new convert came with us and Presidente Nelson spoke in Spanish. It was so amazing!! You could feel the spirit so strong. The other thing was that on Saturday we worked a full day. We have our study time during the afternoon because it's the siesta tiempo for the people here, but on Saturday we had chartlas during the siesta, so we didn't come back to our pension until 9:00 that night... and we walked so much! From one end of our area to the other, so that was hard. It was also one of the first really hot days here in Argentina, but it was such a good day. That night we invited a family to be ba...
