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 went on exchanges and i was with Hermana Hawea it was so fun and i had a blast! We literally just walked, knocked and talked. I almost peed my pants i was laughing so hard what a good day.

Wednesday: ok we have been living in over 100 degree weather and i am just not having it we are literally in the devils armpit over here and its the worst also i think im allegeric to the sun because I have been getting hives everytime im out side and i am not about to put on a long sleeve shirt and die of heatstroke so im choosing to die slowly of skin cancer the lesser of two evils i guess.

Lets see what else oh yeah we met this lady and she tells us her nickname is torti and im all like  " CoMo!!?!?!? se llama ToRtA?!" all confused and she gives me the BIGGEST side eye ever like bigger than the one my niece Emilia gives me like sheeesssh l'm sorry Mrs cake take a chill pill i'll get it right next time. I still put her contact name down as Claudia ( Torta).

Wednesday: was sucky not gonna lie just some personal stuff happened and got me all… But the work was good had a good morning lots of lessons a chill afternoon. Sweated a good 10 pounds off and then was offered cake so i gained it back i am loving the balance in all things ive got going on over here. estoy en paz digamos 

Thursday: Started off with a good 95 degree morning then heated up to a good 105 later in the afternoon its literally only spring here so this is fun. We went to our weekly mate activity where I was told I would never get married by a man named jose Hugo he told me I was too mysterious and too quote on quote closed off so because of it I will never find love. The fact that multiple people have said those same concerns throughout my mission should probably concern me but oh well.

Friday: was a good day we had a member named Lucas Valdez come with us to visit a family of recient converts and the man showed up half an hour late and the family had left so i decided to make use of our time and visit some potential people so we visited our friend Milagros. Lets just say as we were entering the house our dear friend Lucas didnt want to come in and with a smile on my face i hold the door wide open and tell him to come in we had such a powerful lesson with her and her friend Brenda and at the end I throw in that Lucas would love to sit by them at church and show them around and he gave me dirtiest look but I just smiled and kept talking. Later we had a pArTy to celebrate the fact that Hermana Ballam completed 4 months ( they grow up so fast ) we had a party on the roof of our building ( see pictures below ) it was fun although it was so windy but I love the hermanas that we live with so much!!! 

Saturday: spring showers bring may flowers more like spring wind storms bring sand burned ankles ( clever right ) but its no joke there is so much wind that the sand is giving us sand burned ankles. but today was the first day of spring and we did a little spring cleaning aka hermana Jensen throughout/donated almost all her clothes and is down to three outfits. im about to be coming off the airplane with only a backpack and nothing else. I am playing the game of how little can i live off of for three weeks. It was a good day we put our friend Milagros on date for baptism and we are super excited for her!!! 

Sunday: big suprise our friends didnt show up to church so that was nice but i got to sit next to my best friend antonella shes 3 and loves to draw on my book of mormon she also likes to draw on my dresses good thing I was wearing hermana Ballams skirt so it wasnt my clothes that got ruined. When we went to our weekly mission meeting my dear friend Lucas ( who i mentioned earlier ) said i looked tired and that my eyebrows looked wierd ( we just get along so well i love our friendship ) 

We are currently struggling with our friends here they dont seem to want to come to church one day though!! 
We got transfer news i am staying here in ambato and me and Hermana Ballam are reciving a third companion named hermana Osmond im going to be surrounded by utahonians help me!!! 

Los amo a todos

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...
