Week 1

Hola everybody



I started my first week at the home MTC and oh my goodness it’s so fun and I have learned a ton in just a week.



The first day went surprisingly smooth. My district is awesome and super funny because on the first day although none of us knew Spanish we were all too embarrassed to ask for a translation so we just nodded and pretended like we knew or we just sat there with blank looks on our faces. The funnest part of the day was when Élder Dickson fell asleep in our Spanish class. Honestly I don’t blame him, it didn't end until super late. 



For some reason I am everyone's fall guy especially the Élders they always choose me to speak especially Élder Dickson I like to say that he is my enemy because we are always paired up in breakout rooms I’m not kidding and he always without a doubt throws me randomly into the group conversation making me share some scripture or insight he basically makes me do all the talking and if you know me I’m not about that.



I also learned that me and Élder Kesler do not work well together only because we never understand instructions and when we work together we are hopelessly confused and spend the time laughing at how stupid we are.



My companion Hermana Woodson is the cutest person ever. She is from Kentucky and is going to serve in Sacramento California. She has such a strong testimony in Christ and such a light about her. I love her insights and our studies together are always super effective. 



Although it’s only been one week I can understand a lot of what my teachers say. I have one class entirely in Spanish and for the most part I understand a lot of it. Little by little my understanding becomes more clear and it’s really amazing. I did have to take a self assessment to see where I am at with my language learning and let’s just say I am really sucky at Spanish.



I found this scripture during my companionship study and I love it so much!



2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 



16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.



I love you all

Whatttttttt i cant believe I am at 17 months ! Monday we did a district Pday in the Mountains. It sounds all nice and dandy but it wasnt. The ride up was twisty and we were in this old bus that tilted off the side of the cliff everytime we turned. We saw a 100 foot tall virgin statue and then a few yards away this minsicule jesus statue that you had to squint to see ( argentinas sure got her priorities straight here ) It was over 100 degrees and dusty. We hiked and ate asado which was the best part. I felt like angelia in the office when I said the music was too loud. On my behalf we couldnt hear eaxh other and had to ScReAm to speak.  Anways we ended up getting stuck in the Mountain because we missed the bus twice but it was fine because we ended up playing Catan i was partnered with elder Heredia and we won. and we drank mate you know theres nothing like sharing the same drink and straw between 8 missionaries as a bonding exercise. we love a good mateada. Tuesday: we we...

Week 22: A Cruel Joke And Lautaros Baptism!!!!!!!

Image
Muy buenos dias bienvenidos a una otra semana!  Bueno this week was good on Monday me and Hermana Braatz wondered into a Catholic Mass where we got really wierd looks. It was a very peaceful experience we also saw some one get shushed by a priest and it was really funny we had to leave before we laughed to loud.  Thursday: our district leaders played a CRUEL joke on us. In the afternoon we waited patiently to recieve a call saying the Lautaro passed his baptism interview and at 4:30 or so we recieved a text from the Elders saying that they needed to talk to us about Lautaro because he failed his interview. We freaked out trying to call them sent texts and they werent responding so we trecked the 40 minute walk to Lautaros house and knocked on his door determined to find out what happened his sister answered and said that he had left because he failed the interview and we asked about what had happened and she told us that he couldnt answer some of the questions  because we...
