Weirdly Awesome Week : Week 9


This week was so crazy and cool and weird all at the same time. Last P day we made choripan at home and it was super good. buuuut we all got sick from it haha we are fine now. But my comp has been super sick with like the flu so one day we couldnt work. So i studied and stuff all day which helped with the spanish at least. I gave him a blessing (in spanish) that night and in the morning he felt way better! priesthood power is real. 

At zone conference my zone was challenged to read the whole Book of Mormon in one week. We start today and im super excited! We need to read about 76 pages a day. 

Some other cool, but not as spiritual things that happened were i jumped out of a moving bus going decently fast because i couldnt get through the crowd of the bus (my comp already got off) and a lot of the times they leave the bus doors open so i jumped haha. Im okay tho so its all good. We discovered Chinos which are chinese markets where everything is wayyyy cheaper. 

A boy named Alejo who is going on a mission to mexico in 2 weeks gave me a tie with the Buenos Aires Temple stitched on it. He really wanted me to have it so i accepted it even though i felt bad because he doesnt have much. so im gonna give him a few of my ties before he leaves.

Weird Things were some random guy came up to me and my comp, grabbed my hand, put it on his head, and asked for a blessing. So i just said a quick prayer out loud and he loved it. he gave us cheek kisses (super common here)  and then left. This other crazy guy (a member) gives us garlic every day for some reason. idk why he always has garlic but he does. and one time he offered me money (which i politely refused) so he threw it at me and walked away haha. so me and my comp baught a bunch of bread with it on the way home. Also we learned that the bread is very flamible here. like if you light it it will stay lit for an hour ðŸ˜‚

Other than that the week has been going good. My Spanish is slowly improving (emphasis on the slowly haha) We taught a few lessons, and had a couple people come to church with us. No crazy big miracles this week but i always see little miracles throughout my day. I love this church and i love teaching it!














Predicad el evangelio : Week 8


Hey everyone! This week was another awesome week! Sorry I didn't send pics last time my computer wasn't working.

Last P Day was district p day! it was super fun because we got to explore downtown mar del pata and the beach and stuff (we can go to the beach in winter and spring). we also went to an amazing all you can eat pizza place. 

Tuesday - Saturday were really good too. we worked a lot and walked even more. we did the math one day and it was over 18 miles (we calculate using how many blocks we walked haha). We got a few new investigators and a couple dates for baptism. Our mission is really hard to get baptisms i guess. We are second to last in south america. but its all good cuz that was before i got here ;) haha jk we are just focusing on working hard and praying harder and we know we will be blessed. whether its planting seeds or baptizing. My comp made me contact a few doors by myself. the first few were rough but im getting a little better. I got 3 new investigators! 

Thursday was a combines zone conference with 5 zones. Preisident gave an amazing lesson on how to plan and teach more effectively. He did it all in spanish and i understood most of it so thats good. I got to see my comp from the MTC too. 

Sunday was my first real sunday here because last week was general conference. I bore my testimony (went better than expected) and met a bunch of members. We have the biggest ward in the mission with like 150 active members i believe. 

Ive been studying really hard and i made a bunch of goals to help me. I love seeing progress (even though its little by little) from the goals i keep! 

Fun fact. we dont use toilet paper here. Only Bidets. I had my worries and doubts at first but they are actually really nice and clean you way better hahaha. 

Love you all and im praying for you as well!
