Week 24: Lourdes's Baptism And Bye Bye Braatz

Image
What a week!  Tuesday I taught these little girls what a boonerbaner was they thought it was a really funny word and if you dont know what a boonerbaner is its basically when theres two things stuck together ( its something that my mom says ) anyways they thought it was funny and kept yelling "boonerbaner"   Wednesday our prophet is back jajaja. Ok our friend Paola literally disappeared for like 4 weeks and we thought she died because we went from talking every day to nothing well Tuesday night we finally got a text saying she was taking a break from the world ( if I didnt tell about her in my other emails basically she thinks shes a prophet and has all these wild ideas ) turns out shes actually crazy jajajaj. We went to her house talked for like an hour ans we realize she has a literal dead armadillo on her cabinet jajaja. All in all a really good visit and she still wants to be baptized so we'll see what happens.  We went on exchanges and it was so freakin hot I am...

I am just going to start by saying that this week was one of the WORST weeks OF MY LIFE jajajaj.  On Tuesday we had zone conference it was really good I enjoy getting to talk to other missionaries and learning how to be a better missionary. During the conference were all given a lovely suprise... RABIES VACCINES!!!. I got REALLY sick after the conference like so sick and I have never vomited so much in my life I felt really bad for my companion if you've ever heard the term projectyle vomite thats what I did all over our floor. I didnt sleep at all because I was up all night throwing up :( The next morning my whole body was sore it hurt so bad to move and I couldnt keep anything down so I was really dehydrated my mission presidents wife told me to take it slow so my companion decided it was best to just work from home. We ended up leaving the apartment to go visit Lourdes who has a baptism date this week and she lives like 5 minutes away but it took about 20 minutes to walk there a...

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...

Welcome to another week in Argentina!  I fell two times this week jajaja  Fall #1: Monday night while traveling back to our area after district counsel we were on the public bus and it was very crowded and me and Hermana Braatz were in the middle well this teenage boy stood up to give his seat to this old lady ( how sweet ) well this act of kindness led to him falling on top of me jajaja. The bus jerked at just the right time and he flew into me knocking me to the ground and it was funny but he was all flustered and felt really bad Hermana Braatz just laughed at me all in all it actually hurt pretty bad. Fall #2 Hermana Braatz decided to take a short cut through some train tracks and started showing of her balancing skills by walking on the thin part of the track well my competitive side kicked in and I started to do it too but slipped and rolled my ankle and landed really hard on my side. Again Hermana Braatz just laughed but it was my own stupid fault jajaja I cut myself on ...
