Week 48: Every Day Struggles

Back with another update!! I want to start off by saying how much I love the mission. Its honestly so great even though its challenging but I am loving it so much!!!


This week was actually so slow jajaja but really good. 


During one of our lunches literally everyone was roasting me because I always eat the most like 2-3 plates of food and I always pause and go " oh bueno un poquito más " after every plate when they offer me more. And they kept roasting me about it and to make it worse we were on exchanges and my past companion Hermana Braatz is my stl and she just added fire to the flame so that was fun. But I havent laughed so hard in a while so it was good. 


Thursday literally almost peeded my pants in the street because I had to go to the bathroom so bad and we were at a 30 minute walking distance from our apartment and the church and no one was answering the door I literally couldnt walk and Hermana Souza kept making me laugh I thought I was dying but... I survived because Hermana Pacecho is awesome and let me use her bathroom 


We went to a relief society activity to celebrate nacional womens day and it was so fun I laughed a ton and it was a good hour to spend getting to know some members. Also they didnt give me a fork for my cake so I had to eat with my hands ( see photo below ) 


Saturday was one of the hotest days of my mission and we literally had to run so that we wouldnt be late to our lunch appointment and literally every street here is just rocks so we were rolling our ankles and getting chased by dogs but we made it only 10 minutes late so thats a win. But running in almost 43 degrees celcius fun for no one 


Sunday was well really depressing I woke up feeling a little strange the feeling worsened when we did our morning calls and no one answered almost cried when our new family didnt come to church because it meant we had to stop teaching them. Hermana Souza literally almost passed out then was in a grumpy mood but we love her anyways jajaj So all in all we are back with 0 people to teach I am so frustrated like its not that hard to come to church AaAaHhHhGgGg so back to ground 0. Our Ward mission lider is a recient convert and he made us asado for lunch and wow it was so good I think he felt bad for how much we are struggling right now so he and his family cooked us asado jajaja. 


Today for P day we are traveling to Purmamarca and if you have no idea what that is its ok if youve heard of the hills of 14 colors thats were we are going. I am super excited!! But dont worry I will tell you all about it next week and ill send pictures. 


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...
