Semana Cincuenta y Nueve 59

Wow its almost Octubre, and well since yesterday I have 13 months in the mission.  How crazy is the time and where does it all go?

This week I have really focused on the Gran Apostasía because I find it a topic really interesting

and in 1 Nefi 13

There are some things that I have found out, or at least that I believe to be like that.  If I am wrong, oops, but it works in my mind. :)

13-15 This is when the people go to the USA to get away from the England laws. 

19-20 The pioneers crossing the States

24-29 The clear and preciosas things are taken out of the Bible.

35-36 The Book of Mormon

41 The Libro de Mormón and the Biblia are one.  They work together to convencer a the people. :)

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.

Semana Cincuenta y Siete

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

Semana Cincuenta y Seis

Bueno día mis amigos!
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
