Hice dedo‏

hello family and friends!
how is everyone is fine day?? what a busy week it has been! I can say that Nicole did get baptized and confirmed this week. It was the bestest thing of my whole entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Man i love that 12 year old girl! she was so prepared to get baptized! she helped us clean the font and she wanted to help prepare her own baptism! she is so amazing! the cool thing was that her step dad that we are working with works alot and wasnt going to be there on saturday but he asked for permission and his work let him go for a little while! it was a huge miracle! i loved it!  Nicole is so happy and i asked her how she feels and she said.. copado!!! that means like awesome or cool. 

we were mostly worked with nicole this week and i honestly dont know how we finished everything in time! haha i can say that i am really tired! but it is all worth it. this week we are going to focus on her brother, nicolas. he is 16 and he has a lot of questions and he has the right to have questions. He is also prepared. he has made friends with a few of the yonng men. it is really amazing!!!

if you can understand my subject line hahah yesterday we were stranded a little cause we had missed the bus and it comes every hour and we had a cita so we hitchhiked....haha mom and dad dont kill me but it had to be done. she was a really nice lady! she gave us a ride and we got her address to go and visit her. 

all i can say is that this week was really rewarding and i felt the spirit. i was sitting in the baptism service and i was thinking of everthing that we had done and i got this warm confirmation from the spirit that this is why im here. that what we did was important and the spirit was really strong. I love being here in the mission and i am grateful the have meet all of these amazing people!!! I LOVE ARGENTINA!! 

i hope everyone has a good week!!!!!! les quiero mucho!! chau!!

Hey Friends and Family!

hello family and friends! how are you all doing? i would love to hear from you all!! ha

unfortunarly i was sick for about 3 days so i didnt have the opportunity to leave a lot. 

my companion and I thought that Nicole needed another sunday at church. so we pushed her fecha to this coming saturday! but si o si she is getting baptized! the other day we made invitations and everything! we also got the opportunity to meet the husband of Luciana! he is really amazing! i think theyll get married. im just not sure when. that is up the them. Yesterday at church Luciana and her whole family was there. they are a family of gold!! we had 4 investigators at church yesterday! IT WAS AWESOME! The members are getting better. our assistance is about 50 to 60 people. there are a lot of less active members because of the bishop. its a little tough sometimes but we are trying so hard to visit a lot of people and i want to get to know a lot more people. 

here in plottier the weather is weird. its raining one day and im sweating the next. but its all good! our pension is really small everything is in one room! and we have a grido right next door. grido in an ice cream shop. its the best! there arent a lot of youth so with the youth investigators its a little hard. 

We have 2 investigators progressing. Luciana and Nicole. but recently the brother of nicole is hanging out alot with the young men and he is really loving it! so we are going to put a fecha with him. he already has gone to church 2 times! this family is really amazing!! 

We are almost done with this transfer and i cant believe out fast the mission is going. i dont was to come home. i want to see all of you but im scared to come home hahaha jk but i fear for the future. the mission is literally the best thing in the whole world. I love the people here and the things that i am doing. All i want is to do the will of the father and keep his commandments. I WANT to return to live with him again. I love this gospel with all of my heart. 

i hope everyone has a good week! stay cooL!!!

Hola!

hello family! How are you all doing!

this week has been really really good! We have been really concentrated in our investigator nicol. she is 12 and she is going to get baptized on satruday. we are also teaching her mom and her brother but her mom has to get married. She is soo cool and her and her family went to conference this weekend! conference was amazing and i loved it so much! it was a miracle becuase we got to watch it in english haha 

we are working really hard to get more baptisms and i am so so so excited that nicol is going to be baptized. i had a really weird experience this week. we were planning on what to teach nicol and i just didnt feel like she was ready to get baptized and i was telling my comp, hermana huaman,  what i was feeling and she was helping me alot. i dont know how to explain the thought or the feeling but i think it was fear. hermana huaman helped me figure out that that it what it was. she helped me have a little more faith and i started to cry and cry. i didnt know why! it was really weird. And i had realized that i was crying for an investigator. ive never felt like that in the mission. i love all the people that i teach but it was the first time that i didnt want the person that i was teaching to go inactive and not have the gospel in their life. i was so scared. i was thinking about my conversos and i didnt want them to go inactive. but hermana huaman told me that i need to have more faith in the people that we are teaching and that we are going to be okay. it was a weird experience and i realized that i love these people with all of my heart and i want them to be perfect! im not perfect but i want them to know everything becuase they are just precious people. they deserve everything! i love the work that im doing! it can be hard but VALE LA PENA! (its worth it. }

thanks for your support and your love! have a good week!!!
