Hola!!
This is weird because the keyboards in Argentina are a
little different, and it says I am spelling everything wrong, haha... But here
we go! Hopeefully I can tell you everything that happened in these last 2
weeks! So I was super sad to leave Cali, but me and my comp decided we were
going to work super hard for our last transfer together! sadly no one got
baptized but we left that area with some solid progressing investigators! We
also had to let go of a few investigators too which was super sad because we dropped
my favorite investigator. Hopefully she realizes one of these days how
much this gospel can bless her life!
In news of travel, I hopped on a plane at 11 am last Monday,
and ended up in Argentina 7 am on Tuesday, and there is a 4 hour difference, so I had lots of travel!! It was good though,
probably the only time I´ll be able to catch up on sleep in my whole mission,
haha. And all of the visa waiters from my MTC district got their visas and were on my same flight, so that
was fun to talk to all of them.
My first days in Argentina were crazy! We got to go see the
temple and it is GORGEOUS!!! We then had lunch at the Presidents house and just
chilled for a while, during his interviews with all of the new missionaries. We
then went to the mission office, had more food, talked more about the mission
then walked to where we were going to sleep that night. We slept in this
massive apartment building that had at least 20 floors and we stayed on the
15th I think. It was a cool experience and all the missionaries that lived
there were really welcoming and just studs. Then the next day we went to
transfer meeting and I met my new companion! His name is Elder Udall and he´s
from Mesa Arizona! He´s super awesome and I feel like we are going to work some
miracles in this area. Elder Udall is the
district leader and we have a relief society (the rest of the district is only
sisters. The Area is called Lobos. It´s fairly rural and I LOVE IT!! and it took about 2-3 hours by bus to get to Lobos. I have loved
meeting the people here even though I can´t understand their Argentina accent. It's
funny, here they have a different name for Spanish, instead of EspaƱol, it´s Castellano. We have a branch here and all of
the people in the branch are just awesome! Everyone of them loves the gospel
and, well they just rock.
So some new things about Argentina. They have siesta
(the long lunch) and there are a ton of dogs that just run around the place. Luckily most of them don´t bite.
Love everyone so much and I am so grateful for everyone! Love you all!
