Week 11: Que Feo And Little To No Success

Image
Hello hello This week was frustrating. We had no success. We were rejected left and right.I also had the door slammed in my face for the first time so I think that offically makes me a missionary. Also we got yelled at this week a few times and my compaion looked really hurt and offended I didnt know what they were saying so I just smiled and looked like an idiot nodding along.  But we at least found 4 people who have great potiental. First is luciano, celeste and Brisa. Celeste and Brisa are sisters and Luciano is the boyfriend of Celeste. They are 15,17 and 18 and so funny. Luciano is so funny during a lesson we invited him to pray and he yells " NO QUIERO ORAR!!!" Me and hermana Labbe lost it but in the end he said the prayer. Although he didnt do it correctly I was so happy he tried. The love I feel for these three is incredible they make me smile and laugh and its just a ton of fun teaching them because although they arent members the go to seminary which is AMAZING.  La...

Week 10: Creepy Men And My First Baptism

Image
Hola hola everyone  I am so beyond happy right now I had my first baptism and wow it was just AMAZING!!! I had my first zone conference it was good although i didnt really understand it but the spirit was there so i am guessing it was good. The weather here is wack. Its freezing kn the morbing but a billion degrees in the afternoon and then freezing again. Its really annyoing. This week we got permission to teach the rojas family but while on exchanges we dropped the family completely. The reason we dropped them was because our STLs came on exchanges with us and we visted the Rojas and the father of the family FLIRTED with me the whole time but he was speaking Spanish so I couldnt understand what he was saying I just thought he was just being nice but as we left Hermana Wolfs said we couldnt teach them because the father and his friend were being really creepy and saying weird things that she didnt want to repeat. So I have no idea what was really said. So now we have to walk the l...

Week 9: Blisters And Braids

Image
This week went by so fast I cant believe its already monday again. Its so weird how fast the days go but it is really nice because we are always so busy.  Like the title says I have blisters all over my left foot. I spend most of my days walking miles upon miles but I am loving it. My right leg is also covered in bug bites but they are not regular mosquito bites these one cause you to bleed :( and its very annoying and painful. I'll probably get some kind of disease but oh well.  I am also the town braider. During lessons I braid the hair of those we are teaching. The little girls love it and I also teach the mamas how to do it. My companion everyday asks me to braid her hair its fun.  On wednesday I ate my weight in empanadas but the lady kept giving me more and I felt bad saying no and they were also DELICIOUS!!!! Every time a finished my plate she gave me another I almost threw up afterwards. On friday it was so hot but as we were walking a man comes running at us and ...

Week 8: First Days In Argentina And My First Baptismal Invitation

Image
Well I am offically in Argentina I am serving in a small town called Meta. The trip here was interesting. I had to travel all by self and I had no idea what was going on. Once I got to buenos Aires I met up with 6 latinos and we traveld the next day to salta where I met the mission president and his wife. They are so kind but we get a new president in a month or so.  I live with another companionship of sisters one is from México and the other is from Rome. My companion Hermana Labbé is from Chile and speaks zero english and she talks so fast. She is a worker I feel like I never have time to breath we are constantly doing something.  This week I got to meet the branch. It is so small but their testimonies are SO strong. They are all so nice and encouraging when I speak.  On sunday we baptized a 12 year old girl named Luana we hope to get her mom and sister baptized this week!! I had my first member dinner. It was good although I didnt know what I was drinking but I did kn...
