Week 64: GOODBYE LA M.A.S HELLO LA M.A.T

Well another week has come and gone! 

This week our mission finally split and the mission Tucuman was created. It was kind of wierd because on tuesday our new mission president hadnt arrived and our old mission president literally kicked us out of his mission so we went without a leader for a few days so that was fun. But it was kind of like a knife in the heart because our mission president literally was like " your not apart of the salta mission anymore but your baptisms this week are" so we were all kind of mad at him but its fine because now President Hermosilla is here and we are all happy!!! We have zone conference this week to meet him and we are super excited!!! 

I am offically apart of the Tucuman mission so VAMOS LA M.A.T!!!! I am so excited to be apart of opening a new mission and i am just super excited!!!! If i havent expressed how excited i am I AM SO FLIPPIN EXCITED!!!


Branch saving update: 

Ok so its not going too well jajaja last week we had a good turn out of people in the sacrament reunión but this week it plumpited and was just SO discourging. We are working so hard and its been a kick in the butt to say the least. But we found a guy named Lucas who was taught in the past ( we walked past him one day on the street and he yelled in english ) se we met with him and put him on date for baptism so that was something. He didnt come to church, but he has one more chance so we are not loosing hope. Like i said before the miracles will come and we are not giving up. We also found a family. The Familia Lamm i dont want to get to excited but they are super cool and we have a lot of hope and faith in them so keep them in your prayers!

Lots of discourgament and oposition like always but we havent given up. Although its been super hard and trying i know god is trying to teach me something i just havent figured out what it is yet. But love my tiny branch the next two weeks are going to be super stressful because we have 2 more weeks left to get the church attendence up but we are praying that since we have a new mission president he will keep the area and branch open but we can only pray. 

A little bright spot in my sorta good week was: 
MY NIECE WAS BORN!!!  ( shout out to aylsse, way to go!! cant wait to meet her!! ) 

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...

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...
