Image
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 . Wednesday: we put Samuel back on date for baptism so that was awesome!! For lunch we ate with a member and they pulled voka out of the fridge and poured me a glass best water ever. Later while we were out and about this guy calls out to us in...

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

Image
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 75: Interviews And Batman’s A Member

Image
Me and Hermana Ballam have been getting really good exercises in and I have been feeling pretty good. Although my arms did hurt the next day and I had a hard time walking ( probably because for the last 2 months my exercise has consisted of laying on the floor) im on what we call 1 month to ______ ( you fill in the rest ) i havent eaten chocolate in a good 2 days so I am doing well. On wednesday we had interviews with President Hermosilla and they were so good. He asked me when my leave date was and when i pretended not to know he gave me a look and I was like "oop you got me jajaja" and then he asked if i was trunkie ( dont know how to spell ) i said no and he gave me another look and i said " ok got me again " and he goes " ok I'm glad its good to be trunkie"  jajaja that made me laugh. He then asked me a question that i was like " come again? " ( i was really taken a back ) and it took me a good 5 seconds to register the question and it wa...

Image
There is a sticker of me floating around the group chats of the mission and I am not pleased... ok its actually funny and i have an idea of who made it but the fact that it ended up on the group chat of the entire mission embarrassed me.   Wednesday-Thursday  We had to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to catch a bus at 3:30 to travel to tucuman it wad a 5 hour bus ride and luckly i was able to sleep through the whole ride when we got to tucuman we went to the mission office and the elders took hermana Ballam to do her visa stuff and I stayed in the office and chilled with another sister and the office elders it was super fun they gave me a cinnamon roll ( first one ive eaten in a while ) When hermana Ballam got back we were assigned to work in the area tucuman centro for the day with another hermana it was super fun hermana Von Niehderhsen is a hoot and has no filter. When we were walking home for the night i mentioned that my throat hurt and she goes "its probably because you h...

Week 73: Zone Conference

Image
On tuesday we had zone conference and it was amazing. We had a really good lesson given by presidente hermosilla he talked about obedience and being worthy. Then we had our zone leaders talk about how to open our mouths and speak with confidence and how to get people to let us into their houses and it was funny. Then we had the APs give a literal 3 hour training about how to do proper attendence plans with our friends to get them to church it took so long because they would call a companionship to do a demostration and we would all critique it and they would have to do it all over again. It was super awesome and helpful but long. Then hermana Hermosilla gave her talk and it was super cute and she was just really sweet. Then presidente Hermosilla bajó la caña with all of us for desobedience issues i like to think i am obediente but he made me think that I was breaking all the rules. But it was the most loving, most powerful bajó de la caña ever given. We ate really good empanadas and me...
