Week 14: 3 Meses Y Nueva Compañera

Hola hola!!! 
Today I reached three months!!!!!!!! 


Will this week there is nothing much to talk about I worked 3 days with Hermana Roselli ( my Italian bestie) it was sad saying goodbye but I have a new companion and trainer and guys I absoultey love her!!! She is the complete opposite of Hermana Labbé. Hermana Willden is loud, full of energy and has the most bubbly personality. Every day is just so much fun. She is such a hard worker and although she only has 5 months in the mission her Spanish is freakin incredible. 
This week was really frustrating because our two baptisms fell through and I almost cried when Guadalupe said she didnt want to continue learning and didnt want to be baptized I was so sad because I had so much faith and love for her but we carry on I guess. 
A little about my area: I have been serving in Metan these last 6 or so weeks and I am getting really frustrated because every day we teach the same people because we have no one to teach and we are not allowed to nock doors so we have to work through the members but they never give references and so every day is the same the same people, the same houses, the same doors being shut in our faces and the same insults its very discourging and frustrating. Me and Hermana Willden were feeling extremly frustrated and over all angry at the world because we have nothing LITERALLY NOTHING!! I swear we wanted to just quit and go home but you cant do that so stopped in the middle of the street and said a prayer in the hope to find someone. Well you know me and when I am discouraged and sad all I want to do is eat ice cream so we walked to the nearest shop and bought some. Well as we were buying we started talking to the worker and we invited her to church and she said yes. We felt pretty good until sunday came around and we were anxiously waiting by the door and she didnt show up so oh well I guess I need to buy more icecream to invite her again lol. 


Also planeamiento semanal is going to be death of me. For those non missionaries once a week ( sunday for my mission ) we spend 3-4 hours planning the week, making goals, praying for every person and planning lessons for every person. I want to die every time especially this sunday because we got the list of members and we had to go through the entire list making notes and marking it up and since Hermana Willden is new in the area I did all of it because she doesnt know anything about the area and my head felt like it was going to explode. But sweet Hermana Villagomez let me drink her maté.


A success this week is I finally understand almost every lesson and almost every conversation. Of course there are words I dont understand but wow its much better but for the life of me I can't form the words to speak but now that I understand Spanish the mission is much more fun and exciting because I can finally follow lessons and conversations for the most part.


For my cumplemes Hermana Villagomez made me tacos Mexicano and Hermana Willden and I made a cake!!!


Praying for a better and more successful week this week. TENGO MUCHA FE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


Los amo a todos!!

Week 76: 17 Months, Hotter Than Mars And ITS SPRING!!!

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...

Tuesday: we had a good day we picked up the Hermana Osmond from the terminal and got everything organized and we went to work we put 3 people on date for baptism so awesome and we have just been having a blast together. I am back to sleeping on the floor. With three of us sharing a room theres not enough beds so I am on the floor but I offered.  It will make me appreciate my bed at home all the more.  so right now i am kinda training not training both hermana Osmond and Hermana Ballam have just gotten out of their training and i am here to see how they will do on their own without me president literally called me personally and told me i am a glorified babysitter for the next 3 weeks itll be fun they are awesome i have enjoyed it so far .

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...
