Transfers yo

HIIIIII everyone!! Wow what a week it has been. I had my last ofical day iun Roca yesterday. I bore my testimony in sacrament meeting an it was so sad cause I just love all those people so much. Last week the Lord blessed us so much and we have an awesome new investogator named Valeria! All her fam are members but her and she totally has changed from the beginning to the time i was in roca til now. She basically put her own baptismal date for this upcoming saturday and she is so pumped! Shes just gotta get married real quick before hehe, but miracles will happen! SOOO my days in General Roca are over and Ive been transferred to proba my very last area, Rincon de los Sauces!!!! I literally am PUMPED. My comp is hna dandaluz from caaguazu,paraguay! scott do you know where that is?? shes so so great. she has 7 months in the mish. the whole district that was here was whitewashed, sooo we are alll brandnew here! We are so excited. Its just us 2 and the ZLs. The church is only 2 years old here and apparently this is the greatest and most successful part of the mish! woohoo. I literally feel so blessed to be here. Everyone in the mission is talking about this new change. When we got off the 5 hour bus ride, we were welcomed by the branch prez and his councelors!! The spirit is literally so strong here there are miracles awaiting this place. I am so exciteddddd! Haha. for reals

Okay so it is officially the worst thing in teh world leaving an area. Last night was soo sad leaving iara and silvana and that fam. I cried. like a baby and the spirit confirmed to me that i knew them before this life and promised i would find and try to help them. Silvana is still struggling with smoking, but i know she will get through it. I love them so so much. i cant believe how lucky i am that my parents are coming here so that i can go back and see them, and ever greater than that, that my parents will get to meet the people i love so much.

I love you all and im feeling so grateful in this Christmas time to have a savior. He literally has saved us from everything. i love Him and know He lives. Have a happy week :) cant believe ill be talkin to yall so soon on Christmas yipeeee

Hola mi fmailia come les va! I love you allllll! We had a real good weeek! We had interviews with pres and his wife on thursday and that was super good. He is such a sweet and INSPIRED man. One of my last interviews before i go home. x0 We also are working sooo so hard with Silvana so that she can reach her goal to be baptized this upcoming saturday. We have such GREAAAT and powerful lessons with her, but then it kinda goes in one ear out the other. But she is so amazing and wants to be baptized. Shes just gotta quit smokinnng. ah it is so challlenging! But we have so much faith in the Lord...that if she can just have it in her to quit, He will totally help her. She came to stake conference yesterday! It was a super goood meeting....but one of the members gave a talk on teh new change in the handbooks of the church with the gay marraige/baptising their kid. She was totally shocked i think and told us that theres a llot she needs to talk to us about when we visit her today. Sooo this morn in comp study we studied the law of chastity like crazy and how marriage is ordained of God.
We are doing good here in Roca. I love my comp and I know the Lord has put us together for a reason because we are soo different, but have basically the same problems/doubts/fears and we have been able to help eachother tons theese last few weeks. I love being a missionary. I think I say that in every email, but its true and I will miss saying that one day. Yesterday me and my comp were walkin in the street just saying how COOOL it is that we are the only 2 people in this part of argentina who have the authority to invite others to participate in the blessings of the atonement and one day have the greatest gift of eternal life. I wish I could just tell you evvverything thats happening and I know u want details mama but Im so excited to talk to yall on christmas to tell you some amazing experiences Ive had. I love you so much! Have a great week. oh yeah and we heard that there was like another shooting in the us? how sad. siggggns of the times am i right? lol

me and my cat friend. sometimes animals are the only ones who like us :)

Hi you guys!!!!! Happy thanksgiving to my wonderful family. I love you all and I cant put into words the gratitude i have for my eternal family. Looks like you all enjoyed your turkey day!! We did too here!! We had a typical argentine lunch of meat and pasta. But then we decided to celebrate and bought ice cream when the day finished and brought it home and just feasted. Happy thankgiving to us!! This weeeek was a good one. My poor comp was sick a few days with a cold pobrecita. But we managed to work and get the work done. Our prayers were answered big time and 2 of our investigadors came to church! wooohoo. Yesterday was a good one. I love sundays.Also this week we met up with this girl Shea who is a foreign exchange student from San Fran area and shes LDS and in our ward. I love her and we are like best friends haha shes 15 but we get a long so well. Shes informing us on all the crazy stuff happening in the world and she couldn't believe we didn't know anything thats been happening! But we have been reading the BOM with her in ENGLISH! and it has been so much fun. It would be fun to be a missionary in the US. Makes me excited to share the gospel with my friends who speak english (all of them lol).

Also Ive been reading my patriarchal blessing a lot lately and its been so special to see some of these blessings already being fulfilled in my life and mission. I am so grateful to be here in Argentina. The things I am learning from the people and from the Lord are things I will treasure forever. There's nothing like being on the Lords errand. I love Him. I love you all and hope you have a happy week!

My comp shared a quote with me this week: It is better to walk with God in the darkness, than without Him in the light.

Happy Thanksgiving

HI family como andamos? Hope all is weelll! Dont have tooo much to report on this week but it was a good one! So this week there's been some esorrrow in roca cause there a big canal here that runs through the city and a 14 year old girl drowned this week :( so that was super sad, but hey maybe it will soften the hearts of the people and they'll be more receptive! Also other sadness, hna myers and hna flores (the other sisters in our zone) are on their way home on the plane right now cause they both have super bad problems with their heads and headaches and stuff. so thats such a bummer and now me and hna goodfellow are the only sisters in our zone haha. like u saw in the pic, we weren't allowed to leave the pension yesterday except for church and lunch with a member. It felt like a normal sunday at home, coming home after church an taking a nice long Sunday nap...super weird though. we found a few new investigators this week that have a lot of potencial! our plan is to work a lot more with the members in our ward so come to the lessons with us cause we know thats what helps our investigators progress. Silvana is still working on her goal to quit smokng and didn't come to church yesterday :( i was so bummmmed. But we have a great week planned ahead. I hope all is well at home and that you enjoy thanksgiving! it'd be nice if u guys would email me too hehe so i could know what going on with your lives! love you all so much. thanks for being the best fam and your your prayers. Jesus Christ lives and I am finding my testimony being strengthened on the daily. I am learning to love in a way i didnt think i could. the best medicine is serving others. when we think of ourselves, we aren't happy. we gotta get outa our comfort zone and serve. this is what i have learned and i am happy :)

Add captionmet this lil girl on teh bus and shes MORMON! best surprise of my life. she sang i am a child of god together a good 10 times on the bus ride

us and some fishys yummmm

 just me and my compi hermana goodfellow. shes such a good fellow i love her!

hI fam hows it goin! So I heard we are going into world war 3 or something? or at least thats what the Argentines tell us. haha. a bombing in France! oh no que triste. and osama bin laden or whatevs is alive? lol

okay. so we had a great week here! I absolutely love my companion. We just understand eachother so well and we are learning so much together. its great and we have so much fun preaching the good news! Missionary work is so fun.

We had such a sweet zone training on Tuesday! We all got the chance to share our testimonies to eachother, which is something that we usually dont do, well obvio everyday with everyone, but this time was different and so special.

We had a lesson with Silvana this week and we realized that we needed to focus on her needs, which included that she feeels she hasnt recieved an answer to her prayers if God reallly really exists, if the chruch is true all tht jazz. So we decided to pray with her right there in her home. She said the prayer, we thought she was gunna say it out loud but she did a personal one in her heart. We sat there for a good 5-6 mins in silence, and i was just prayyyying like crazy that she would recieve an answer of feel something! So after the 5 mins, she said amen and opened up her eyes and just had the biggest smile on her face! She kept saying "que lindo, que lindo". She told us that the scene in the movie of when Christ appears to Mary at the tomb came to her mind, and that she had an overwhelming love for these 2 people in that moment. Literally the most beautiful spirit was there and it was such a testimony builder to me that when we truly are humble and with real desires, God always answers. We helped Silvana recognize this as her answer. She then told us that she believes the church is true. MIRACLESSSSSS. so sweeeet! She has a looot to do to prepare for her baptism, but nothing is impossible. BTW, mom and dad and fam, silvana says hi to you all! haha. Cant wait for mom and dad to meet her! I love her so much.

We also had such a cool experience with a lil old grandma on the street yesterday. we basically taught her lesson 1 in the street and she didn't seem toooo interested. But then we started sharing joseph smiths story with her and recited the first vision, and she just started crying. She told us that she had seen that same vision before many years ago, not god and Christ, buit had seen j mith praying in the forest.it was so COOL and we invited her to be baptised and she said she needs to ask her husband hehe. but wow we have seen so many miracles these past few days. Miracles are real! I wish you all the greatest week! Love you so so much.

Well hi you guys!

Feliz halloween last week! Best costume goes to the SWAT man, my lil guy Cammy! and lil piggy Em too!

Well today starts the mark of my 3rd to last transfer here in the mish. Ohh transfers. Went to bed at 2 am last night helping my compie pack. She's off and it was sad sayin bye, buuuut my new comp is Hermana Goodfellow!! we were in the MTC together and she's one of my bffs in the mish! We are so pumped. I love my area and super happy to be here still. SOOOO things that happened this week. I dyed my hair. Its kinda super dark #woops. but whatevs now i fit in with my argentine people. We are working a lot with Silvana, Lara´s mama. I love her.  Little  by lil the Lord is softening her heart. She came to a relief society dinner that the young women put on and she loved it. When I fasted for fast sunday, I was planning on fasting for other investigators we have, but during my prayer I felt impressed to fast for Silvana, that she can have desires to change and give up her habits. Last night we went over to their house so hna llamo could say bye and it literaly was so sad. Hna Llamo bore her testimony to her and the fam. We read Mosiah 27 and explained that even Alma the younger, one of the most violest of sinners was able to have a change of heart and recieve a remission of his sins. Hna llamo gave a lil goodbye testimony, and said that Silvana would one day enter to the temple with her family. When she said that, the spirit seriously hit my like a ton of bricks and confirmed to me that yes, onnnne day she will!! I wasnt even the one saying goodbye yesterday, but I was totes a baby and cried when hna llamo was saying bye to them. My prayers have been answered time after time, because the Lord has blessed me with an imense LOVE for these people. I am learning a lot about the gift of charity. I never knew that I would be capable of doing the things I am doing. But I am learnign so much, i learn from my mistakes every day and I am striving to be my best.

I hope you have a wonderful week! Hey and real soooon we´ll all be skyping woooo! Love you mi familia eterna. How cool is it that we are an eternal family?
