Welcome back I will get right to it and we have transfers today I will be traveling to... no where jajaj we didnt get transfer news this week but we will be getting it in the next few days  So last P day ( monday ) I took my companion the Hermana Lazarte to Purmamarca!! It was fun we found llamas and took some pretty fun pictures.  ️Warning grafic discription up ahead ️ On wednesday we had a very good lesson with abigail and invited her to move her baptism date to this saturday she told us she would pray about out and we left feeling very confident that it would happen.( it didnt ) On our walk home my sandle broke in half ( not kidding) like in half I couldnt save it.

Week 54: 1 Year And Cookies

Image
Wow i have offically made it one year into the mission!! Thats actually so crazy!!!  This week was good.  In monday night we made cookies and gave them out to three converts that arent coming to church. You might say it was a bribe but...they didnt answer the door so our efforts failed but we gave them out to less active members and the converts that are coming and of course the active members. Who doesnt love an american chocolate chip cookie.  On wednesday I woke up to a cute little suprise waiting for me on my desk. My companion the Hermana Lazarte and the two other sisters that we live with the Hermana Miller and the Hermana Morkel made me a cute little banner with balloons and gave me lots of treats to celebrate my one year mark. It was super sweet.  On Thursday we traveled to San Salvador to get the vaccines for the Hermana Lazarte.  On Friday I made some more cookies but I literally burnt my finger so bad it hurt so bad #3degreeburn. But good thing t...

Week 53: Stuck At Home

On monday we met a literal crazy lady heres the story: we went to visit a recent convert named Miguel he is old and lives with a bunch of other old people. Well we went to visit him and this lady answers and goes looking for him mean while another lady shows up and starts talking to us but literally got mad at us grabbed the bars of the door and started shaking it screaming. I was scared thinking she might die of over excursion or something she then stops, opens the door/gate and tells us to come in we say that its ok and we will wait outside for Miguel but she gets mad again and goes "  COME.IN ." We tell her no again and she literally makes a cutting gester across her neck and looks very angrly at us. I was literally about to leave but thankfully Miguel showed up and saved us .  On Tuesday we got caught in a rain storm and got really wet so that was an aventure. Wednesday we had a really really powerful lesson with a past friend abigail. The spirit was so strong and she acc...

Week 52: Renes Baptism, Conference And Interviews

Image
Welcome back! This week was a stressful one but full of miracles Rene:  Renee was a reference that we received from the Facebook Pages as a mission we don't work on Facebook we have people from the Church that actually work for us so we basically get free references. Anyways about 3 weeks ago we get this reference from a guy named Renee and so we decided to visit him. He was a little strange but we thought he was just i don't know how to explain... wierd.  But we kept visiting him and we realized that he had kind of hard time remembering things but we started to teach him and we continued to help him and he started to come to Church, we learned that he had a few problems with the word of wisdom so we helped him overcome his addictions and it was a miracle he was able to overcome all his addictions and he had all his Church attendance but the only problem was is he couldn't remember anything like literally nothing and so on monday we actually visited him and we asked ...
