Semana Cincuenta y Tres
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

Semana Cincuenta y Dos
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
Oh how crazy it is to think that it is already Monday again. This week was a little bit different than the rest. :P Like Hermana Church was in bed all day because Tuesday she got hit with someone bad and was thowing up like all day long!!!! (wow thats a lot of likes, Hermana Church..... its her fault, she says it a lot ;) ) But then I got hit with it, but luckily I only wanted to throw up my body didnt want to let me throw up and get it out of my system! :P
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
