Image
FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!!! wow I cant believe its christmas how crazy!!! Ok so our christmas conference was super spiritual and definelty brought the spirit of christmas into our lives. I ended up playing the violin as a musical number jajaja it was a little random. We played a fun little game put together by our mission president and ate some yummy asado. It was fun to talk to lots of the missionaries and just have a good time. The travel back to jujuy was super long like 5 hours long. It rained and all the streets are dirt here in jujuy and so it was super flooded and there were a lot of land slide type problems.  On Tuesday I was finally feeling better from my sickness of last week and so we went back to work. I did just fine until the afternoon when my fever returned and we had to return home. Spent the rest of the day in bed. I woke up at about 2 in the morning in the most pain I think I have ever felt in my stomach. I was sobbing and a member drove us to the emergency room. They tol...

Week 36: 8 Months And Sick In Bed

Well I have had quite the fun week ( psych ) it was super hard.  The week didnt start off to good when the APs kept changing my travel plans to my new area. I was told 5 minutes before our " curfew" that my plans had changed and they would send a new bus ticket but by 12 I still didnt get it so I went to bed and got up at the time I was originally supposed to leave which was 5:00 so I had to get up at 4 to get to the bus station in time but when I got up I checked my email and saw that they had sent my new ticket and I was now leaving at 7:30 i was stressed out and nervous but went back to bed and left at the new time.  I arrived in my new area and thats when I learned that me and my companion Hermana Cunha would be working not one, not two but three areas. Lets just say I lasted one day when I came down with a fever of 39.1°C and for you lovely Americans thats about 102.3 °F or so degrees so yeah it was bad. My whole body hurt I couldnt move or even lift my head for 2 days. ...

This week was another fast one.  I got REALLY sunburnt on friday like really bad in the night I realized that my whole neck had blistered :/ We have been working hard with Luben the sister of Luciano and she is so sweet and kind. We invited her to be baptized and she accpeted the only thing is we havent set a date but its coming. We decided to try one more week with Lucianos cousin Ignacio only because he keeps coming to church we have decided that if he doesnt accpet a baptism date this week we might drop him.  Well we recieved a lovely call this week telling me that after 5 months in Vicente Solá my time here has come to an end and its time to go to Perico which is in Jujuy I am super excited because it'll be my second providence out of four and the goal is to go to all. My new companions name is Hermana Cunha she is from Brazil and I get to meet her on Tuesday because thats when I am leaving.  Saying goodbye was super hard. I gave my goodbye testimony in sacrament meet...

Week 34: Thunder And Lightening

Buen día a todos  This week we had a huge thunder and lightning storm in the middle of the night. I was having a lovely dream when I woke up to the loudest freakin noise. I thought a bomb had dropped on Salta. I almost had a heart attack my heart was beating so fast. It was a wild night. We ended up having a storm almost every night this week and no one has really slept well so its been a little rough.  It rained a ton on Saturday it felt like I was home jajaja but we were so soaked everything was wet but we had some pretty great lessons.  I had my ten seconds of fame this week. Hermana lemos went to put some photos of me in our notes in WhatsApp but instead she put them on our story by accident its a good thing we caught it before to many people saw them jajaja.  We did a facetime call with Luciano it was pretty funny and im not going to say it was super successful only because we kept laughing.  We have been teaching the cousin of Luciano Ignacio. We invited h...
