Week 31: The Worst Feeling

Last Pday I found two fun things to do. One was a giant armadillo statue and tje other was a giant Jesús statue that took a really sketchy hour bus ride to get to but worth it. 


We didnt recieve any transfer news so I am staying in Vicente solá for my third transfer and my second transfer with Hermana Lemos. 


Its been over 40 degrees celsius and for you americans that means its been 104 and more outside and in some areas in my mission its been over 115 so this summer should be interesting because its only spring here. 


This email is really short but heres the climax of the week
I dont even know how to put into words how heartbreaking this saturday was.
Everything was going perfect all week with Adrian Exequiel he was so prepared and even told us how excited and prepared he was for his baptism. 2 hours before his bañtism he senda us a text saying see you in a little bit im super excited well... We get to the church building set up everything and wait for him to show up. We call, we text we call his sister we send Luciano to his house, we send another member to his house finally we treck the 20 minute walk bang on the door, we call his name we call his phone again until we accept the fact that he wont be baptized. Me and Hermana Lemos kind of just looked at each other on the verdge of tears. I just want to say it was the crappest feeling ever to have to return to the church building and announce that we wouldnt be having a baptism. It was just so sad and we kind of just sat there shocked because we had talked to him 2 hours before and everything was fine. We have no idea what happened we have sent messages and tried to call and we have recieved nothing in return. We just hope everything is ok. So pray for him please!!!

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...
