Week 55: Injury, Blessed By A Catholic And On The News

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. Soo... ( sorry mom ) but I had to walk the 4 miles walk home bare foot ( on one foot only ) To make it worse I am in Argentina so they dont have paved side walks just dirt and trash and glass fun stuff like that but i made it home without cutting my foot but... as I was walking up our death trap also called stairs I tripped and felt pain in me left foot ( foot that had the shoe ) so I walked in side and went to wash my foot. I put my foot in the water and felt a pain that i hadnt felt since my brother broke my finger jaja. Turns out I cut my big toe REALLY bad and we couldnt get it to stop bleeding ( like it took a while ) But good thing Hermana Lazarte has a 20 pound firstaid kit and we got it to stop ( barely ) and got it all wrapped up. I did not sleep that night because I was in so much pain and the wound still hasnt closed and its been a few days but its getting better. Also i am infection free. 


Getting blessed: 
On thursday we helped the Hermana Miranda make dinner she had friends come over and it was fun until her friend hugged me goodbye drew a cross on my back and gave me a blessing after the hug she held my face drew a cross on my forehead then drew a cross in the air in front of me and she said " you are blessed and will know the true light one day"  she then did it to my companion. Lets just say we felt wierd and I mean wierd walking home we just didnt feel good. But now its all fine and we feel normal but we just felt the obsense of the spirit and it shook us up for a bit. It was a kind gester but still not a good feeling. 


Zone conference/public shaming: 
So we had zone conference and it was good until our mission president starting public shaming us jajaja. He had our zone leaders present to him our problems in the zone and he shot down EVERY. SINGLE. IDEA. And shamed us for our lack of success. I felt so bad for them it was a like a shark tank episode gone wrong. It was funny at first but then it wasnt jajaja. Our poor zone leaders they deserved an ice cream or something after that experience jajaja. But at least he told us we were his best missionaries in the mission.


So me and my companion made it onto the news twice. Now you might be wondering how but one day we were walking and we walked past a camera crew filiming a guy for the local new station. We casually walked past and didnt thibk much of it until later when we visted a member he said he saw us on the news, the very next day we were walking to lunch and passed the same camera crew filming another guy but this time we embraced the oportunity and did a little wave smile jajaj the same member texted us and told us we were on the local news again. 


If all goes well this week we will be baptizing our friend Abigail so please pray for her!!!! 


This week is the first week of the temple open house in Salta I am super excited because as hermanas we get to work at it. Should be fun!!!


Los amo a todo

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...

I am back to sleeping on the floor.

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...
