FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!!! wow I cant believe its christmas how crazy!!! Ok so our christmas conference was super spiritual and definelty brought the spirit of christmas into our lives. I ended up playing the violin as a musical number jajaja it was a little random. We played a fun little game put together by our mission president and ate some yummy asado. It was fun to talk to lots of the missionaries and just have a good time. The travel back to jujuy was super long like 5 hours long. It rained and all the streets are dirt here in jujuy and so it was super flooded and there were a lot of land slide type problems.  On Tuesday I was finally feeling better from my sickness of last week and so we went back to work. I did just fine until the afternoon when my fever returned and we had to return home. Spent the rest of the day in bed. I woke up at about 2 in the morning in the most pain I think I have ever felt in my stomach. I was sobbing and a member drove us to the emergency room. They tol...

Well I have had quite the fun week ( psych ) it was super hard.  The week didnt start off to good when the APs kept changing my travel plans to my new area. I was told 5 minutes before our " curfew" that my plans had changed and they would send a new bus ticket but by 12 I still didnt get it so I went to bed and got up at the time I was originally supposed to leave which was 5:00 so I had to get up at 4 to get to the bus station in time but when I got up I checked my email and saw that they had sent my new ticket and I was now leaving at 7:30 i was stressed out and nervous but went back to bed and left at the new time.  I arrived in my new area and thats when I learned that me and my companion Hermana Cunha would be working not one, not two but three areas. Lets just say I lasted one day when I came down with a fever of 39.1°C and for you lovely Americans thats about 102.3 °F or so degrees so yeah it was bad. My whole body hurt I couldnt move or even lift my head for 2 days. ...

This week was another fast one.  I got REALLY sunburnt on friday like really bad in the night I realized that my whole neck had blistered :/ We have been working hard with Luben the sister of Luciano and she is so sweet and kind. We invited her to be baptized and she accpeted the only thing is we havent set a date but its coming. We decided to try one more week with Lucianos cousin Ignacio only because he keeps coming to church we have decided that if he doesnt accpet a baptism date this week we might drop him.  Well we recieved a lovely call this week telling me that after 5 months in Vicente Solá my time here has come to an end and its time to go to Perico which is in Jujuy I am super excited because it'll be my second providence out of four and the goal is to go to all. My new companions name is Hermana Cunha she is from Brazil and I get to meet her on Tuesday because thats when I am leaving.  Saying goodbye was super hard. I gave my goodbye testimony in sacrament meet...

Buen día a todos  This week we had a huge thunder and lightning storm in the middle of the night. I was having a lovely dream when I woke up to the loudest freakin noise. I thought a bomb had dropped on Salta. I almost had a heart attack my heart was beating so fast. It was a wild night. We ended up having a storm almost every night this week and no one has really slept well so its been a little rough.  It rained a ton on Saturday it felt like I was home jajaja but we were so soaked everything was wet but we had some pretty great lessons.  I had my ten seconds of fame this week. Hermana lemos went to put some photos of me in our notes in WhatsApp but instead she put them on our story by accident its a good thing we caught it before to many people saw them jajaja.  We did a facetime call with Luciano it was pretty funny and im not going to say it was super successful only because we kept laughing.  We have been teaching the cousin of Luciano Ignacio. We invited h...

Well my first and only thanksgiving in the mission came and went. I thought it wouldnt feel like thanksgiving but I woke up to cold rainy weather. The rain followed me from Washington and wished me a happy thanksgiving so that made me smile. We ended the day absoulety soaking wet but it made me happy. As an apartment we ended up making mashed potatos, stuffing, Mac and cheese and a little cake to celebrate. I missed my family A TON because our mission president wouldnt allow us to call home so that was hard :( But all in all a pretty good day.  The weather was absoulety garbage this week. Super muddy, cold and miserable but a lot better than 110 degree weather jajaja.  This week was pretty fast and thanks to Luciano who is literally the best convert ever we have two very good people that we are teaching.  One is the Cousin of Luciano his name is Igancio and he is super fun! He came to church this sunday and seemed to really enjoy it. We have plans to invite him to be bapt...

Like last week this week wasnt very exciting. We have been working hard to find people to teach with very little results. We had been feeling pretty down about the whole Adrian Exequiel thing when we ran into him on the street and the things he told us just werent adding up and he looked exhausted all in all something was off. We ended going to his house the next day but he wouldnt answer the door. We then texted him and said that if he didnt want to learn more to tell us and he said " for now I dont " it was like another slap in the face and we havent gotten answers of what happened so I think that'll remain a mystery.  Another down is that there are a few members here who have been pretty mean to us telling us that we arent working hard enough and that we are the reason attendance at church is low we had about 5 lessons this week with members telling us the work harder and that we shouldnt baptize people. It was a pretty rough week on that part of things especially when...
