If you want to earn free stuff, throw a party with me!!! It will be amazing!!!!!

Jamberry

So I have this idea to start selling Jamberry.  One to make a little bit extra cash and two because I love them so much! They are amazing!  And they stay on for so long and are beautiful!  They are the best things ever for me and my nails! :)

 They don't chip like nail polish and they have amazing designs, they are always adding new ones.  And they are at a good price too which I adore! :)

 I recently bought these guys and I am hosting a Jamberry Facebook Party.  So much fun and it would be awesome to be able to make some extra cash while doing things like this.  I have time at my job to do it, so I am thinking, why not?  What's the risk?  Is there any?  What is really stopping me?

Well.... that initial $100 is stopping me.  Which is kind of one of the reasons I have this Facebook Party going on.  To help me pay for that to be able to become a consultant and be able to put these amazing nail designs out there. :) 

Check it out go HERE  buy 3 get one free! And then at checkout, put me as your hostess and we will be able to work together. :)   [This is not me being a consultant, this is me helping myself to be able to become one through my Jamberry party]

Im always willing to help, so let me know if you have questions.

Gamee

Gamee

So that link right there will lead you to a game app that I found for my phone.  It has a TON! of mini games that you can play.  The best part! Is that it's free!!!! :)  It's super fun super addictive and if you don't like one game, no worries, you can change games in the same app! :)

Wow

Wow, has the time flown by....

And not a single word here, from the time that Robert asked me to be his girlfriend.  Well I should probably update this place a little bit, because well.  On September 19, 2015 Robert and I were sealed in an eternal marriage. :)

Yes yes,  I am now known as Mrs. Fernandez.

Even though it really hasn't hit me yet, that I am married. :P

Although, before I go on.  I should probably jumped back to how everything went down.  Like when he asked, how he asked and everything.  I am sure there are plenty of people out there that would love the story.  I know I love how he did it.  It was just perfect. :)

This is a link to the video.

But if you are one that doesn't want to click the link for any reason at all,  I shall explain it all in words here, but obviously the video will not miss a detail. :)

Well maybe I will explain them later, my mind just starting letting out the farts. :P 

Just Wanna Dance

You know that moment when all you want to do it dance? 

Well for me it's a heartbreaking feeling, especially when I know that I won't be able to dance for along time, or I just can't seem to find a way to get out there and dance.

Although, I saw this post on Facebook that gave me hope and made me so excited. :)

There was an ALL DAY DANCE for only $10 and RDT was putting it on.  It was the best thing ever for me to see.  Now I looked at the dates and times and everything, making sure that I would be able to do it.  I didn't want to miss it for anything.

Robert and I would be getting married the week before, we would be back from the honeymoon on the Thursday before.  And well....

I could do it!

We ended up moving in our apartment that Friday and Saturday that the Dance Day was on.  Friday he moved himself in, I helped at the very end, which was almost nothing.

That Friday night, I wanted to cry, I realized that I didn't have any clean clothes with me.  But with the luck that I had, I was able to find a tank top and leggins that didn't smell.  I actually think they were clean clothes in the dirty clothes pile.

That Saturday was one of the best days of my life.  I was able to move and dance and just enjoy myself.  Being able to get back into that dance studio was an amazing feeling.  I couldn't believe what a relief it was just to step into that studio, to feel the dance wood floor under my feet, to see the huge mirror that filled an entire wall of the room, to see and touch the wooden ballet bars.  That moment was a blessing, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Honeymoon

Just some pictures from the Honeymoon. In California.  We went to Universal Studios and Santa Monica Beach.  I was amazing and I am so grateful to be married to this man. :) 

On the plane back to Utah, from California

Candy that we found.  They are really good.  The green especially

Don't fall asleep on the beach, it may hurt.

We found a Raptor at Universal Studios!

Hanging at the beach with mi esposo. :)

Gotta have that photo right?

I didn't know what to do!

He was showing me around the beach, for it was my first time.

One Question. Three Ways.

I think that getting back into the swing of things has actually been a lot easier than what I thought it would be, and then what I have heard.  I don't think I was even in one of those weird phases that everyone says that a missionary comes home like.  But I don't know, maybe I was weird for a little bit when I got home, but then again.  I am always weird so that doesn't bother me much.

The last time I was talking about how Robert and I were able to see each other almost everyday or so.  I think that was one of the last things I wrote.  Well I am here to tell you that last Thursday.  March 19, 2015 he asked me to be his girlfriend and well, he did do it in a cute way and I couldn't say no.  It was cute and really simple.  I loved it! :D

We were sitting on the couch of his aunt and uncle.  Cuddling, and well his aunt Elena was recording us and taking photos, just to tease him.  I think.  I thought it was really funny.  And then Robert tells her that she needs to be ready and to be recording cause she isn't going to want to miss what was going to happen next.  She didn't really listen and stopped recording.
He then gave me this little green heart.  I smiled and said it was cute, not thinking much of it. But then he looked at me and told me to open it and that was when my heart started to pound just a little bit.  I had a feeling that there would be a special question inside of it, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

I opened it slowly and couldn't stop from smiling when I saw the question.  I asked him to say the one in French because I love that language! :)  Then looking up at him, I smiled even more and said yes.  Then we kissed. :)

That was when his aunt tried bring out the phone again, and well she was already too late. :P hahaha

Home

Well I made it home.

That is absolutely crazy for me to think that I have been home for about 4 days now. :P

We left Neuquen at 10am then got to Buenos Aires by like 11.  Waiting in the airport for a long time, leaving Buenos Aires and all of Argentina at like 9pm :P that was fun.  It actually was really fun.  We played some card games in the airport with the other missionaries from our mission.  There was like 22 of us that ended our mission together.  But sadly there was a time when the latinos and the gringos had to separate because they were on different flights and what not.

But the gringos, we had an ex missionary with us.  and well She is from Buenos Aires and she taught us how to do Mate and we drank it all together.  It was interesting.  To be honest, I really didn't like it the first time I tried it.  But I decided I would keep drinking it as it came around to me.  And well by the time we had to go. :P  I ending up liking the drink. XD  I have like three bags of yerba and so I will be able to continue drinking it for a while.  But you know...... its really not that fun when you are drinking it alone..... But luckly my soon to be sister-in-law Makayla.  Asked me about the drink thingy and she is interested in trying it and what not.  So maybe I will be having a Mate drinking buddy soon! I am actually really pretty excited!!! XD

 Hermana Smith y Yo






Elder Godoy, taking the foto
Elder Gomez on the right :)

 Playing Scum :P Thats what we did while we waited for the airplane! XD













It was good to see my country's flag again! :) But its really weird to be home again!

Well this past week has been really interesting. :P

Got home on Wednesday and my whole family was there.  Nieces and Nephew.  Grandpa y grandmas.  Parents, brothers, 2 sister-in-laws.  And well my good friend Roberto. :) Got me a phone, bought some clothes to not be walking around naked or in dirty clothes.  Cuz well I left almost all my clothes in Argentina with other missionaries. :)

Thusday Was with my mom all day long and it was amazing and then at like 10:30pm my good friend Roberto picked me up to go watch a movie at his place.   We watched "The Book of Life"  it was really good.  Roberto now has to watch My Little Pony with me, thanks to his wonderful cousin Boris xD jajaja I love it so much! It was great to have someone to talk in Spanish and what not.  I really do miss talking in Spanish all day everyday. :)

Friday.  I went to Roberto's place and we watched some anime show. I dont remember what it was called, but it was actually really good and we plan on watching more. :)  Had lunch with Mariah.  And then I dont remember.

Saturday  Went to Ballet West in the morning and man that was so good to get back to that place and be able to be with the little ones dancing. xD Was amazing! Charlie came, wow I missed that kid! And I was able to talk to Dana about it all and I am going to be able to work on getting to become an actual teacher there instead of just a TA.  But you know.  :)  Then I went to lunch with Claraliz and her husband Angel and her baby Mia. :)  Then went on a date with Roberto. :) jaja it was so good.  We went to a play to watch his little brother Angel.  It was really good.  I didnt know that kid could act, I taught dance to him a little bit.  He has gotten so big!!!!

And today is Sunday. :)

O_O Última Semana O_O

Everything is just crazy right now. My head is going crazy to think that this is my last week here. O_O Really funny, because in the beginnging I thought it would take forever to get to the end of the mission and now here I am and I dont even feel like it has been a full year and a half. I love this area of Cervantes and I am so glad to be able to end my mission here. This place is full of miracles and I love the people here so much! They are wonderufl! I hope that I really will be able to come back and visit the people here. Be able to keep in touch with everyone. WOW How fast does the time fly by?!?!?!?

Fa, no sé que decir.  Hay muchas cosas que estoy pensando en este momento.  Esta es mi última semana acá en Argentina.  Es muy loco pensar que voy a estar en casa el 25 de Febrero. O_O  jajaja no estoy truckie :P Pero ya sé que voy a estar en el avion a las 21:30hrs y voy a llegar en Goergia a las 5:30 en las mañana! :P Entonces voy a pensar en quien voy a llamar tan temprano :P jajaja nah, pero en serio quiero llamar a alguien :P jajajaja  Y voy a llegar en Salt Lake a las 10:30 en la mañana :P Que locura no?!?!? Un año y medio ya me pasó O_O 

Lo que me da miedo mas es que hay alguien que ya quiere salir en una cita conmigo O_O jajaja me dice que quiere hacerla la semana que llego, entonces no voy a tener tiempo para poder acostumbrarme de no estar en la misión con todas las reglas y tal. Especialmente con la regla de no abrazar a los hombres :P jajaja estoy animada por poder sacarme esta regla y poder hablar en vos :)

Estoy tan animada por ver la familia, los extraño mucho! Estoy segura que mis sobrinitos me van a atacar cuando llegue yo allá :P jajaja Y lo estoy esperando :P Los amo mucho!

No quiero  irme, pero a la vez sí porque quiero ver la familia y seguir con lo que tengo que hacer en la vida. :P Fa! Que voy a hacer. O_O Va a ser muy interesante. :P

jajaja

A member from El Bolson wrote me a poem  and here it is!!!! :)

" entre las aguas de arriba
y las aguas de abajo, hay estrellas...
entre los cielos de arriba
y los cielos de abajo
hay ángeles...
entre los fuegos eternos y los fuegos de hogares...
camina Jesucristo, 
y tomada de su mano...lleva a Chelses...
                                                       corazón de estrella...
                                                       angel... "

La Hermana Ushua!

I love her so much! I bought things from her to take home for the whole family and well..... :) I will be getting them this coming week I think! I am so excited to see the beautiful work that was able to do for me! I love her so much!!!!! :) 

OH!!!!! ANA has a baptismal date!!!! She will be my last baptism for my mission! She will be getting baptised  the 28 of Febrero.  Yea that is when I get home already, but!!!! That is my 18 moth mark so I still count it!!!! :) To this day I have had at least one baptism is every area that I have been in! Man The mission works miracles in the lives of the people here but also in the live of the missionaries.  I really dont know where I would be if I didnt go on a mission.  I have been able to come so much closer to my Heavenly Father and to Jesus Christ! Before I didnt really know them, I always heard that they exsited but I wasnt sure if they were really there to help me, if they were there for me! But I know without a dought that I have a Father in Heaven and that He loves me! I know that if I need anything, anything at all, he is right there beside me to help me out.  I am so grateful for this chance that He gave me to serve Him, even though He has given even more than I was able to give Him.

I have learn about the real power of His grace! And the chance that I have to change myself to be able to feel comfortable in His precens! I love Him and I want to let Him to change me to be who He wants me to be, because I know that what He wants for me is the best that I could ever get in my life!

I love the Gospel and I know that this church is true. I know that we have the authoridy to do the saving ordiances to be able to live with God once again! I have learned the importance of Baptism and why Jesus came down to save us.  There is so much that I dont know yet, but I am so excited to be able to learn about evrything!!!!!

I LOVE MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND HIS SON, MY BROTHER AND SAVIOR, JESUCRISTO!!!!! :)

Semana Setenta y Ocho :)

Tuve un cumple re copado! Durante el p-day, yo estaba mirando a los otros jugar fútbol y después de la nada, me tiraron un monton de agua! Fue ten copado! Ellos tenían miedo que yo iba a gritar. :P jajaja pero nah :P
The area is going well, we went to church in Roca this Sunday because it was the fast and testimony meeting and the Bishop wants us to come to church every first Sunday of the month. I think its a good idea. But :) We had two investigators go with us and it was so special and amazing! I love this place and the people here!!!! :)

I am doing great, I am in a daze when people remind how little time I have left here :P jajaja and I think that at least someone reminds me everyday :P Its absolutely crazy. I just dont believe it! :P but I am enjoying the time I have here in Cervantes :P There are so many miracles here and I just cant believe it!!!! :)

So more that we did in my birthday was go to the house of Estela y Edgar,  who are investigators and their daughters were there.  It was so much fun.  we ate pizza and had a great cake and we danced a little O_O jhajajajaja I just cant help it!!!!! I love dancing!!!!! :) IT was great the Elders went with us.  Elder Valenzuela y Elder Rodriguez.  THey are from Utah and Canada :) jajaja

This birthday was so much better than the other one I had in the mission. The other one I made myself a little 5 mintue cake in the mirco and then my compi slept the whole time....... This one was the best one in the mission for sure!!! And then throughout the whole week we ate with people to celebrate my birthday. :) I had a birthday week instead of day :P FANTANSTIC!
