Week 59: IT SNOWED

Yes if you read the title it snowed! IT snowed!! IT FETCHIN SNOWED!! We woke up on friday to snow yes snow!!! I. COULD. NOT. BELIEVE. IT. my companion flipped out at her first experience with snow and it was just mind boggoling. I was dumb founded to say the least. It lasted less then a day but still it was just.


Another fun story: like usual we are working and i need to use the bathroom but theres literally no place to go and i needed to go. We casually walk past a very large catholic church and i stop and my companion literally goes " do you have to go that bad" i shrug and walk in and theres literally only one person so we quietly walk up to her and we notice shes praying so we awkwardly stand there waiting for her to finish and we are just glimpsing around  when another lady enters, notices us and storms towards us and literally starts yell screaming at us and literally throws us out of the church and shuts the door ( it was like a scene in a movie ). We were kind of startled at her anger because we were just standing there and there was a sign outside that said visiters welcome, but oh well happens. But we found a place to use the bathroom and all is well. 


Gabriela:  so we got this reference ( gabriela ) who is literally gold! We got in contsct with her right away and she told us how she wanted to change her life so we put her on date for baptism. She has some hard family relationships but she has a ton of potential and we are super excited to see what will happen. 


This week was really slow we are having a hard time finding people and trying to inspire the members to help us and its just been a struggle. But we have seen so many blessings and its super cool to see how even though there are so few members here thst are super strong in their testimonies. The youth here especially are so inspiring. In one of the photos below you will see a picture of us in a bus and that is three branches pit together and the only people from our branch that came is every teenage that you see. We showed up at the church and it was pouring rain and when we get there all the youth are there at 7:00 in the morning to go the district conference and it was super cool to see them there even when none of their leaders showed up. 


We have started to teaxh Rafael again because he is such a sweet kid and deserved the blessings of the gospel so we are going to put him on date this week SÍ O SÍ!!!  


Also we are back into our apartment and let me tell you we cleaned that thing up!! It was so bad full of fungus, mold and just bad but we took a whole day and cleaned it so well. There is no mold, fungus or anything just a weird smell in one of the rooms but we put a fan there and we leave the window open which sucks because its so freaking cold here so we wake up frozen every morning and when we asked for a heater the elders in the mission office literally said " hermanas thats difficult but be paciente in thine aflictions" ( I hate when they say that ) so we freeze our butts off every night. 


Thats all for this week 
Los amo a todos

Week 76: 17 Months, Hotter Than Mars And ITS SPRING!!!

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...

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...
