Semana Cincuenta

Can you believe it? I am already in week 50, which means I only have 30 more weeks so serve all day everyday! I love the mission and I have learned so much here, it makes me sad to think that I only have a little bit to go.  :) I cant believe that another transfer has already passed by.

I am staying with Hermana Church this transfer for another 6 more weeks. :) This means that I will be in Cipolletti 1 for  3 more months! How great is that?!?! I will have served all of the winter in Cipo! Where is it not that cold! I love it so much!!!! I havent had to use my big coat for this whole time! And I dont think I will ever have to use it! That makes me so happy!!!!

I am so excited to be able to stay with the members in Cipolletti! They are absolutely amazing and I love them so much! They are so much like family! I know it will be even harder to leave everyone after these next 3 months, but I am so grateful to be able to be with them for more time.  Get to know them more and help them! They are a wonderful group of God´s children and I feel like I learn more than I am teaching them.  :)

Semana Cuarenta y Nueve

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 this past Saturday we had interviews with the President. I love them. There are many people that freak out abd get all nervous about them, and well I only dont like them because I only have like 5-10 mintues to talk to the president and with his wife. I only want to have more time to talk with them. Mainly because I think I love being about to talk and express myself. :)


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

Semana Cuarenta y Siete

Recently I have noticed that when I enter the houses of the members, for lunch, usually the little boys come running to me to talk with me and the little girls run to my companion Hermana Church.  Its really interesting.  I have found out that I have more conections with the little boys rahter than the little girls.  Crazy no?!? hahahaha

She just clicks with the little girls and I just dont know what to say with them. But the little boys, well they are really easy to talk to and keep them interested. :) Yea! Gotta love the crazy little kids!!! XD They are so great!!!! XD 

Nefi 2:13 And if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is norighteousness. And if there be no righteousness there be nohappiness. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there beno punishment nor misery. And if these things are not there is noGod. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for therecould have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be actedupon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

 Nefi 9:25 Wherefore, he has given a law; and where there is no law giventhere is no punishment; and where there is no punishment there isno condemnation; and where there is no condemnation the merciesof the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them, because of theatonement; for they are delivered by the power of him.

Nefi 11:7 For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no Godwe are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.

What do you believe?

This time to be here in the mission is a blessing.  A huge miracle in my life.  I want to be able to live it to the best of my ability.  Do everything that I can so that when God and Jesus ask me What did YOU do with my name?  I can tell him that I did everything I could to preach what They wanted.  To do the will of Him.  To work and give everything that I have to the Lord in the short time spand that I have to serve Him 24/7.

I love my Lord and Savior and I know that through Him I can be saved.  Through Him I am able to be better everyday.  I can change who I am and come to Him.  I can be the daughter that He wants me to be.  :)
