Grandma Riches
Thats so great to hear that the young women are helping her! Thats just what she needs right now! Support and love. Its hard to make the change in life and come into the church and stay without the love and welcoming arms of the members.
Keeping working with Marie. she will be touched and will come unto the Lord. :) I have recently completed all of my personal progress :) And I did it all in Spanish, without touching a single thing in English. :) I ams o proud of myself and I am so grateful for everything that I was able to learn with the program. I want to be able to have the gold madallion so there is a difference between what I did in English and what I did in Spanish :P
Thank you so much Grandma! I love you!!!!
Feliz Navidad!
TE AMO!

PALABRAS DEL PRESIDENTE
Siempre he gustado las cosas del mar. De vez en cuando tuve la oportunidad a salir a navegar por un barco. Siempre queria ver a todos los barcos en el puerto. Algunos de los barcos aparecieron que quiseron quedarse en el puerto. Donde no habia ondas grandes ni vientos fuertes y todo era muy tranquilo. Pero nunca alcanzaron su proposito. Fueron creados a salir a navegar los mares del mundo pero siempre estuvieron muy contentos con la seguridad del puerto. Perdieron su proposito.
Hubieron otros barcos que aparecieron que tuvieron todo lo que necesitaban a circumnavegar el mundo. No faltaron ni una cosa de todas las electronicas necesarias para hacer caulquier cosa.
He estado pensando en como todos los misioneros son como barcos. Hay algunos que tienen poco temor de hacer la obra misional y prefieren hacer cosas mas lentos que no son deficiles.
Pero como misioneros no podemos quedarnos en el puerto donde todo sea tranquilo. Tenemos que salir del puerto para alcanzar nuestro proposito en servir al Señor.
Ni podemos salir del puerto pensando que tenemos todo lo que necesitamos para ganar el galardon. Que podemos depender en nuestros abilidades a enseñar y convertir. No, nosotros tenemos que ser diferentes.
Nosotros tenemos que aprender las leyes del mar y obedecerlas. O como misioneros tenemos que aprender los mandamientos de Dios y las reglas de la misión y obedecerlos. Después de hacer esto podemos encontrar el Espíritu Santo que es como el viento. Tenemos que depender en el Espíritu y nos da dirección y poder. Los misioneros de la gran Misión Argentina Neuquén son como los grandes barcos del pasado que dependen en obedecer, que buscan el Espíritu y que salen cada día a trabajar. ¿Por qué? Porque esto es su propósito, a ayudar a mas de los hijos de Dios a venir a Cristo.
Gracias por estar en la misión, por sus ejemplos y su fe.
La Hermana Lovell y yo le amamos a cada uno.

Semana Sesenta y Siete.
That I have 80 weeks in the mission, and welll I am in week 67 already. Now if you do the math with that. That doesnt leave me very much time here in the mission. Its so crazy how fast the time has flown. I just cant believe it. The next Domingo, I will have exactly 3 months left to go. Completely CRAZY!!!!!
This week was a crazy week. And we werent able to work as much as we would have liked to. But the meetings that we had were needed and were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! XD
We had a meeting with the temple president of Buenos Aires come to talk to the Stake of Bariloche. :) He is a wonderful man and his wife is too. They are so cute! XD
But I have learned that if I dont sleep on a trip, I leave the bus with a huge pressure in my head. Its really interesting. :P jajaja But yea. Thats something about me. :P That I recently learned, I always slept on trips and so I never knew it. But The Elderes wanted to talk the whole 3 hours on the bus. So well we all talked. :P

But thats okay. One day we will be in Spring and Summer and I will once again have the warmth of the sol.... oh bueno el calor. :P
Este traslado, voy a tratar de aprender un poco de portugués :) Mi inglès se va a empeorar aun mas! Si esto fuese posible :P No sè que voy a hacer cuando estè en casa de vuelta :P
CARTA DEL PRESIDENTE
Hay dos escrituras qué nos ayudan a entender cuanto Dios nos ama y nos conoce. Lo primero es lo más familiar. Se encuentra en 1 Nefi 3:7 cuando dice Nefi qué, “Iré y haré lo que el Señor ha mandado, porque sé que él nunca da mandamientos a los hijos de los hombres sin prepararles la vía para que cumplan lo que les ha mandado.”
La segunda se encuentra en 1 Corintios 10:13 cuando el apóstol Pablo hablaba a los Corintios y decía, “No os sobrevenido ninguna tentación que no sea humana; pero fiel es Dios, que no os dejará ser tentados más de lo que podáis resistir, sino que dará también juntamente con la tentación la salida, para que podáis soportar.”
Cuando pensamos de estas dos escrituras podemos empezar a entender cuán grande es Dios. El nos conoce y nos ama a tal grado que va a darnos mandamientos para guiarnos y protegernos. Al mismo tiempo no solamente entiende nuestras necesidades y debilidades pero también nuestros límites. Podemos confiar en Dios. El nunca va a dejarnos solos, ni a los que estamos enseñando. Estas promesas se apliquen a todos sus hijos, pero especialmente a sus misioneros. Yo sé que si pongan su fe en Él, Él hará su parte en bendecirles a ustedes a ser fortalecidos y a sus investigadores a ser cambiados

OH MY!!!!!!
How great was this General Conference?!?!?! I loved it so much! and I was able to watch it with the people in my ward here in El Bolsón! It was an experience unforgettable to see how they watch Conference! :) It is great, to go to the chapel, watch conference, eat in the church and chat with everyone there and then watch the other session. :) Oh its so great!!! XD
And wow!!!! They talked in Chinese, Spanish and Portugues!!!! How wonderful! This church is world wide!!! Because it is the church of the Lord and EVERYONE needs to hear HIS WORDS from HIS PROPHETS!!!!
Love you!
That is absolutely amazing, I haved learned a lot this week especially because of the wonderful conference that we have had this weekend. Oh how wonderful it was to end and start week. :))))
Si Señor, yo te seguiré
Did you know that Elder Richard G. Scott speaks Spanish! You can actually hear him speak Spanish during the confernece. it was great! :)
El que sirve, sirve. Y el que no sirve, no sirve.
Que mas se puede decir? :)
I was reading in DyC and well I found a scritpure that talks about how we can become our agents. in DyC 29:34-35 and I know that the Commandments of the Lord is what helps us become better. Become the best person that we can be. We are able to control the things around us instead of them controlling us.

Semana Cincuenta y Ocho
Found Hermana Smith. She went home for a little bit due to a broken ankle :P But she is back!!!1 Woohoo and we go home at the same time :) Even better no? I love her she is absolutely great!!!!
We did a service project and well I think it looks good, but we recently passed by this taxi place and well..... they have painted to completely different now. :P I dont think they liked it as much as I liked it :P oops!
MOM!!!! Guess what?!?! We found out the pains in my stomach!!!! I have alergias! TO.... tomatoes!!!! Weird no? I would have never known back at home, because I never ate them :P hahaha Good to know now though. :P
Nuestras fechas cayeron..... Una porque el tiene que casarse, y esto va a tomar mucho tiempo.... es muy difícil acá para casarse! Loco!
Y la otra, es por La Ley de Diezmo..... Ella es muy humilde y esta viviendo, día por día y bueno..... ella no cree que puede vivir dando dinero a la iglesia.... Es muy triste..... me rompió mi corazón! :(
Something that I learned that I asolutely love! It that the commandments of God are there to help us see that the things of the world do not control us and we are able to control them. For example!
Tithing. We control what we recieve enough to be able to give to the Lord 10%
Word of Wisdom We control what we take into our bodies and we keep ourselves healthy. We dont have to worry about have an addiction to something
Chastity. WE control what we do and we save everything until after marriage. Knowing that we wont have any complications and more confidence when we keep this commandment.
Every commandment that we have, has a reason, and it helps us in this life time to become like God and be able to recieve the glory that He has. He has given us the guidelines to live a happy life and to be able to become just like Him!
This is what the Presidente said this week in his letter and I absolutely lvoe it!!!! XD
Hace unos años la Hermana Lovell y yo tuvimos algunas oportunidades de ir a Europa. Siempre fuimos a visitar a algunas de las catedrales en las ciudades. Todos hablaban de los símbolos de la vida de Jesucristo que poseían, como pedacitos de la cruz. Me daba cuenta que muchas de las iglesias del mundo se ven que su propósito es de guardar las tradiciones de las enseñanzas de Cristo. Al pensar de esto, vino a mi mente lo que dijo el Señor al profeta José Smith en D y C 1:30 cuando explicó que la iglesia establecida por el profeta José fue la única iglesia verdadera y viviente sobre la faz de la tierra. Entonces la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días no tiene el mismo propósito de las otras iglesias. No solamente es verdadera pero también es viviente. Es viviente en que Dios habla por medio de sus profetas para guiarla actual no solamente para conservar las tradiciones de su vida. Que bendición es de pertenecer a la iglesia verdadera de Dios. Que bendición es de haber encontrado paz a causa de la expiación como la entendemos por medio de las revelaciones contenidas en las escrituras de esta dispensación. Que bendición es de representarle al Señor.

Lookie Here!
I traveled at 2pm on Sunday until 12am to get to Neuquen. Then we did paperwork with the VISA (in reality we -the missionaries- stood around and talked waiting for the people to print some papers....) really boring.
Then I got to visit Claudia in Progreso again! It was absolutely amazing!!!! XD
Then in the morning at 9, we got on the bus again to go back to El Bolsòn. And we arrived a like 7 here. it was great. :P
My companions on this trip were, Elder Ogden y Elder Bezerra. jajaja I never thought that I would have Elderes as companions for a day. :P But When you are alone with Elderes, you seem to learn a lot more about the minds of boys. :P jajaja really interesting comversations with them :P
It was really interesting and for that, I wasnt able to write Monday. But I am here now! :)
I love you!!!! XD
I got to work in the office for a little bit. Hermana Lovell wants me to be able to be in the office forever. O_O But luckily that isnt possible :P jajaja Hermanas cant work in the office like the Elderes. :P
But! It was really interesting to see all the Elderes there. I was the only Hermana. It was like I was at home for a little bit. I loved it. I really miss being the only girl, with my brothers and the majority of my cousins. :P jajaja well..... What can I say, I kinda of love to be the black sheep with the people I am with. :P

Como están todos?
I love you guys so much and I love the chance to be here in Argentina. Sharing my knowledge and testimony about Christ and the plan that we have been given in this world to be able to find our way back to the Lord. Back to our Heavenly Father. I am grateful for the chance to be able to learn more, from the Book of Mormon and The Bible. I know that this is the true church and that I am doing the work of the Lord. He has given me this oportunidad to work in Argentina and to meet the people here. He has given me this gift to be able to live with my family forever, and now I am able to share this gift with the people that live here. My brothers and sisters, spiritually.
We have transfers, and Well..... no one changed in this district this time. We have two more Elderes coming in to open up a new area, but no one changed compañeros. :)
It is great to be able to be here in this time. Because there is a ton of potential in this area to be a strong point in the church. There are little towns around El Bolsón and a ton of people that are interested in knowing and learning more about the gospel. I think this is a place is blessed and is only going to grow!!!! XD

I never thought I would be seeing my mountains again until I got back to the States! But Suprise! I have my mountains here in El Bolsón! I love it here!!!!
There is a different spirit here than in my other areas. Its really special. There was 165 members in the church yesterday and well! We have a lot of investigators that are amazing! They really want to learn here. We need to keep looking for other people so that we dont miss the chance to help all the people that we can.
I feel so blessed to be here and I thank the Lord for this chance to be here with Hermana Stanley. She is amazing! XD

Well Looking Here......
ME VOY AL........ BOLSÓN!!!
Someone needed to have an emergency transfers and so here I go.... Im leaving my little town (jajaja well its actually pretty big) of Cipolletti 1 and Im going down south to Bolsón! Wow! I thought that I would be having 6 months here in Cipo, but apparently this wasn´t the plan that God has in store for me :P 8 weeks with my Hermana Church and now I am going to be with Hermana Stanley. (I think that´s how you spell it :P)
I am definitely going to miss the members here in Cipo, but everyone says that I am going to love Bolsón for the mountains and the lakes and everything else that is wildlife! XD I am excited for that..... but not for the snow that I will be hitting. I thought I would be snow free for 2 years..... hahahaha just kidding!!!!! :P
We had a little miracle. Well its actually really big. There was one of the young men waiting outside of the church to go out with the Elderes. And a man came up to him, asking for the missionaries of the Mormon church and that he need to talk to them. And right in that moment, the Elderes were walking to the church. The young man, Nico, pointed to the Elderes telling the man, Edgardo, that they are the missionaries that he needs to talk to.
Edgardo, talked to the missionaries saying that his cousin that lives in Buenos Aires told him that he needs to talk to the Mormon missionaries and that they have a new book. They have a book that is amazing. The Elderes set a date to visit him and told us, because well he lives in our area. We visited him together so that the Elderes could show him who we are and that we would be the ones teaching him. Edgardo has a friend named, Dario that is interested too.
We taught them both and Dario looked at me, saying, "You, you gave me a little card with a photo of Jesucristo! I remember talking with you outside of the church of yours." :) That made me really happy!
They both have a date to be baptised the 6 of September. :) Que Milagro!!!! XD
Too bad I wont be here to teach them and to see them enter the water.... but its okay, I was part of it and thats enough for me :)

Semana Cincuenta y Uno
But we were able to see miracles in the last 3 days of the week that we were finally able to work.
It was great.
Recently I have put a goal to read the Bible before the end of my mission. Why? Well..... I haven´t read it before and I feel like I should be able to read all of it to be able to teach better and find the questions that people have about the Bible. I know the Book of Mormon well, I still have a lot to learn from it, but I think I need to learn more from the Bible too. :P hahaha because it testifies of Christ too :P
I love this work and I cant believe how fast it goes by. Hermana Church goes home in 5 weeks and I cant even imagine how I would be feeling if I was in her spot, but that time is coming quickly.... I will be working and giving everything that I can to the Lord. I only have a little bit more to go and yea. :)
Here´s a little story for you.
Hermana Church and I were walking and a car drives past, turning the corner. The boy rolls down the window and looks right at me. "Hola Señora, te amo, mi rubía."
I look at him and say "Chao"
He says "chao"
And I say "Gracias" :)
Jajajaja thats not the first time that has happened. The boys here go crazy when they see me..... I think its because of my blonde hair thats all :P But Its okay, it makes me laugh! :P

I am almost done with my Personal Progress. All I have to do now is finish everything that I have with my last project and read the Book of Mormon! XD Its fantastic and I feel like I have grown a ton! In Spanish and Spiritually! XD Its a great little program, as long as you take it seriously and do everything that it says ;)
Wow I dont even know what to say this week.
There are a few things that I didnt say the last few times.
There was a day that I had to go to the bathroom, (BEWARE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT FIND THIS GROSS) I went to the bathroom and yea, I was in there for a long time, because my tummy hurt. And once I left, I looked at Hermana Church....... Saying...... "two words....... ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING" And well lets just say..... she didnt really think that was as funny as I thought it was. She freaked out a little bit and then went on to explain that if she did that in her house, her whole family would freak out. :P
Little does she not know..... When I was little I would tell my brothers everytime that I saw corn in my poop! XD hahaha Welll I think I am a weird one. My poor husband..... O_O
I love you guys and I am learning a whole bunch!

Semana Cuarenta y Ocho
WEll my companion has been feeling a little sick for the past week and a half. But still decided that she would fast. Little did she know that she would end up falling into the arms of an Elder, almost passing out. We put her in a chair and she lended her head against my stomach, (which is a little bit fater than it used to be) She was drained of energy. We took her outside to give her some fresh air to breath. She was shaking, but she wasnt cold at all. She almost passed out again, so I took her into the sacrament room so that she could at least lay down.
When the whole thing ended, everyone entered the room. Asking what happened, if everything was okay. Thats okay, shows us that they care. I told them to get Hermana Lovell as I took notes of what was happening with the Hermana Church and asking her questions of how she felt. (look my lifeguard skills came in handy on the mission, who would have known!)
Before Hermana Lovell came, an hermana lider entered the room... Which was okay, there was 3 of us, the others were outside the door watching. She.... asked a stupid question "Can you breath?" Which is a question you never want to ask something that was in a state of being like that. The question made hermana Church freak out! and we had to calm her again, which isnt the easiest thing to do. We got her calm and Hermana Lovell entered. We explained everything and the ending was that we would take her to the hospital. Just in case.
I had to gather all the things up so that other people could take them home to us. Grab her jacket and everything she would need when she went outside into the cold. I left the room, HErmana Lovell there to take care of Hermana Church, got everything done in the other room. Then returning to Hermana Church and everything that was happening I COULDNT ENTER THE FREAKING ROOM!!!! Because everyone was just standing there watching!!!! ARe you kidding me!!!!!!
In this situation.... if you are not helping, you are hurting. Just move out of the way! So that the people that are doing things are able to get them done! XD
jajaja thats my little story for this week! I love you guys!!!!
I love the work that I am doing here and the oportunidad to be here in ARgentina and speak Spanish! XD
