Week 69: What A Week… But I Survived

Wow what a trying week it was. It started off bad 


Monday: we had been teaching our friend for a week and put him on date to be baptized when we call him monday night only to find out he is in prison. I freaked out ended the call and informed our leaders and it was a mess because I broke the rules without even knowing.

Tuesday: went on exchanges in a different area and wow longest flippin day of my life. I have never met so many people who hated us and I also got kind bit by a dog. I felt bad for this homeless dog and felt so bad that I decided to show it a bit of love and instead of letting me pet him he tried to rip my hand off. thats the last time I show love to a stray. 

Wednesday: a normal day but I felt off also I didnt sleep well the night before so I was literally exhausted. We had verifications with our DL and he asked us if we felt successful as missionaries I joking not joking said no and he gave me a 10 minute pump up speech that actually made me feel better so #ThanksEldersBrownyErickson

Thursday: started off amazing we had a sister missiom conference. All the sisters in the whole mission got together without the elders and we spent the day listening to messages and having a good time. It went down hill later when we met with our friend Nicolas and invited a member to come along BIG MISTAKE!! we start off the lesson and the member interrupts me and says that his views of the church are different. He lets me continue and not 5 seconds later he interrupts me again and says that he doesnt believe in the church. I got really thrown off by that remark and the member went off on this 50 minute tanget about how the church isnt true and i tried so hard to stop him from contiuning but he literally told me to shut up and let him talk. I felt so helpless, betrayed and soooo angry. I finally got the member to shut up and stop bashing the church and ended the lesson. When the member left I apologized to our friend Nicolas and asked him to meet again tomorrow to re explain things. He agreed and he walked away saying he had a lot of doubts and was unsure of everything. As soon as he was out of sight I started crying and was so angry, confused and upset at the whole situation and had to explain it all again to hermana Ballam who didnt understand any of what just happened. It took awhile to pull myself together but I did and we are all good now. 

Friday: Was random. We met two boys in the park they actually came up to us and started flirting I on the other hand invited them to be baptized... it didnt work but in the bright side they wrote down argentinan music that I am excited to listen too. We met a guy on a bench and invited him to be baptized he said yes!!! The only bummer is that he lives in Simoca ( good luck elderes ) We were able to undo the damage that was done on Thursday we rexplained the plan of salvation and just testified a ton and bore our testimonies. It was an awesome lesson and we felt super good afterwards. 

Saturday: a normal chill day. We found these eye ball candys and we laughed our heads off because we put them as our eyes and scared people it was a fun time. 

También... Nicolas if all goes well will be baptized this week so pray for him


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...

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...
