Week 41: Bautismo De Jazmin!!!!

Well I hit 9 months! Wow that was fast 


Ok so we had an awesome week but lets start with the miracle: 
JAZMIN WAS BAPTIZED!!! 
Wow it was so awesome at first she wanted to wait one more week but we talked it out and she ended up being baptized on staurday and wow the whole ward came and it was so amazing and spiritual. She was smiling and crying and just over all so happy. Too bad she was baptized in a font full of coachroach...oops ( our fault ) but all was well and she didnt seem to mind. 


Here are some stories from this week: 


The longest night: 
We had a HUGE thunder and lightening storm. To make things worse we lost power meaning our beloved air conditioning didnt work to make matters even worse it was one of those really hot days like 110 degrees so our apartment was an oven we went old fashion style and put our sheets in cold water and wetted our hair to sleep but nothing helped. It was miserable and we didnt sleep at all. 


Strange taxi ride:
While returning home on Wednesday we entered a taxi cab and like always I start talking. The taxi driver was really interest why I was here and me and Hermana Cunha start explaining our role as missionaries. He had lots of questions and when we told him about the word of wisdom he goes " Oohh like the Ingels" my companion was confused on who the ingels are but I started laughing because if you ever read little house on the prairie or watched the tv show you know the ingels are a family who lived in like the 1800s so he was basically asking if we lived liked people in the 1800s. It was an interesting conversation because he couldnt wrap his head around the fact that we werent like the Ingels family. 


Elder kyle: 
For two weeks we have been helping a man named Jose frias return to the church. He was baptized right before Covid and stopped coming due to some other problems. We found him and our meetings now are our favorite. He is super fun and is eager to come back. He was baptized by two Elderes. Elder Kyle and as José says " Elder México because I cant remeber the name". This week he told us how meaningful our meeting have been and told me that although I am a girl I remind him of Elder Kyle and he now jokingly calls me Elder Kyle. 


Sugar cane: 
I helped harvest sugar cane. I will now look at sugar in a different way because its not fun work. 


A lesson with the young men:
We have been teaching this mom and her daughter ( Luciana and Ana Lucía ) they are awesome and want to join a church where Ana Lucía ( the daughter ) can have good friends. So we thought to bring two youth to one of our lessons but the girl canceled and when we met up with Maxi the boy he had all the other young men with him so we brought them all along and they were so cute and funny hahah they all had these mission tags that said "future missionary" and were super excited to help us teach they shared all about fsy and the temple and all the activities it was a super fun lesson definelty in the top 5.


THE SALTA TEMPLE!!!!!!! 
OK I AM SO EXCITED BECAUSE THE SALTA TEMPLE WILL BE DEDICATED IN JUNE!!!!!! POR FIN!!!!! I am even more excited because I might get to work at the open house and give tours!!! But even more excited that these amazing members will have a temple close and that they wont have to travel 15-30 hrs to the temple of Córdoba or Buenos Aires but will have one only 2-5 hours away!!! 


Los amo a todos

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...
