Week 6: Sad Sews, Blessings And Stolen Garments

Thursday: Me and my two companions were called to be STLs and its really weird because we only have week left so it made no sense to call us but its also awesome because Hermana Millar does everything and I'm just there for the ride. The CCM president calls me and my companions the tremendos trio because apparently  everyone loves us and we are one of 3 trios I ran into two people I knew from Rexburg both were in my mission prep class the first semester and I felt bad because I didnt remember their names and I still don't. 


Time for a funny story: Hermana Millar got her garments stolen but the strange thing was they were wet. So someone took her wet garments from the washing machine in the 10 minute time period we were gone. We looked everywhere for them and four hours later they showed up again. It was the weirdest thing.


Saturday: I got a very sad text from my dad that my sweet dog Sadie had passed away. I was so heartbroken and sad at the fact that when I get home she won't be there to welcome me back. Not going to lie I cried it just felt like a member of my family died.
But...On the bright side our mock lesson went SOOOO GOOD!! I wasn't able to understand what she was saying but I understood what she was feeling and I asked her to read Ether 12:6 and when I asked her how it made her feel she burst into tears and the Spirit was just so powerful! I felt so good afterwards. Also I tore some buttons off my dress so I had Hermana Millar sew them on for me I was just going to find glue and glue it but she said no. 


Sunday: I had to direct the music for sacrament meeting and I looked like an idiot up there just waving my hand around. 
My favorite shoes that I've had for over 4 years are finally toast but I still wear them. 


Monday: I took another grammar assessment and I improved not by a lot but I improved! We also learned that our district is the guinea pig district. Out of all the misisonaries here my district is the only one that is not and will not recieve any grammar lessons because they want to see which way works best and they are learning that although we don't know grammar we know A LOT of vocabulary but it also means that we fail the grammar assessment. But it also means that my district is literally the chosen district. We were told that we were all chosen very careul and specificaly so that explains why out of all the other districts we seem to be the ones most bounded. 


During gym time Me and Hermana Eppley DOMINATED at pickleball we beat the Elders!! 


Tuesday was so good I drew such a lovely picture of me and my companions and then Elder Raab ruined it but it was hilarious I'll attach a before and after photo. Our devotional tonight was given by an area 70 and it was so amazing!! The songs we sang were so poweful and the spirit was so strong I loved every minute of it 


Also I leave for the Argentina next Thursday!!! I am so excited 


I love you guys!!!

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...
