the life.

The work here is slow... WAAAH. 

okay that is all the complaining I will do (: So Hermana Farrow and I are just going hard. We got permission to ride bikes, so we are on the lookout for some bikes. holllaaaa! But this week we got to meet with two less active women who haven't really been receiving the missionaries and we shared with them some really cool lessons. Also, we shared a lesson with an investigator who's nephew is a member and works in the mtc. so she is really familiar with the church and we are hoping that now is her time to accept the gospel.  Her name is Marisa and she fed us cake and hot chocolate until we thought we were going to die.. so that was crazy. 

Also, Hermana Catalán (our landlord. weird word. and a member) is probably the funniest lady that has ever happened. She keeps inviting us to eat with her and we just just fideos! she also let us get on her roof to pick some grapefruits. so that was fun! she is 75 and seriously just goes hard. she goes to wood class and makes all sorts of stuff from wood, she goes to gym class and does yoga and pilates and swims and that jazz. she also goes with us to the lessons and she just drops cane . it is so rad. she is such a funny little lady. also something cool is that hermana farrow and I have been running in the mornings. so that is helping my argentine figure a little bit. lol... 

wanna know something crazy? a member who has some problems with the church is being kinda dramatic lately about some stuff and guess what? her two daughters (recent converts of just over a year and the other about 3 months ago) are going to a  CONVENT. TO BE NUNS. WTHack? that is so weird right? hahah so that happened this week. we are trying to talk with them and tell them its not a very good choice but we are sure they are going. 

so i am just here chillin.. working! Here are some good studies that I have been up to these days:

(I think I missed something here, everything is all messed up!  Plus I waited to long to post!)

Fathers Day.....

It was fathers day and I gave my farewell talk! Just want to send me dadddyyy a big SHOUT OUT for being such a swell dude. wow i miss you so much. i hope you have been working hard and having fun, because that is what you have taught me to do. LOVE YOU TOO MUCH. Hope you guys got my video? haha thanks to hermana Marisol for that, she is such a gem. 

so this week has been crazyyy! we closed down my pension and moved everything out... it was hard because in my old pension we have a narrow hall, a steep staircase and a bridge.. so it was really fun to move everything out ;) thanks to our investigator alberto ( who we were accidentally calling alfonzo and alfredo... oops.. lol) so that means we have been cleaning like crazy here in limay. which is fun. i have this crazy thing for cleaning these days. i always want everything to be super clean. i even cut my finger open this morning while we were deep cleaning the pensh. oops. haha

hermana farrow is such a freaking cutie. we are having so much fun here. so sad to have said bye to hermana miller, but she is safely back in canadaaaa... we ate some ice cream, contacted a fuuulll, ate lunch in a park, got our hairs trimmed, got some new (used) clothes from the office.... just a few of the things. (:

sorry i am the worst at emailing. i cant remember what we even did this week. i'll be better next week. 

love you guys keep it real.

read D&C 88. TOO TIGHT. 

HEY. also this week on Friday, we will be on the radioooo.. AGAIN! so if you have internet and want to see it, we will be on there from 6-8PM ARGENTINA TIME. the website is fmflash.jimdo.com... it is called el estandarte de libertad on fm 106.9 mhz. be there or be square.. it will be really spiritual for those of you that speak spaniishhhh (: 

one year older and wiser too...

happy one year mark... to me. haha wow is that so weird or what? I still feel new on the mission, but I am mostly just trying to enjoy every minute.. I have realized that I've lots some time, and I don't want that to happen in my next 6 months! also, at this point in my mission, I basically dont exist at home anymore.. haah because I only have a few more faithfuls that write every week.. my mother not being one of them (; but it's okay, I'll be home soon. no need to worry (;

this week has felt fast but slow at the same time. We were able to do intercambios with Confluencia and I was with Hermana Chumioque. Then we had entrevistas. We were also able to have a really great meeting with the bishopric to talk about the documents Los que no vinieron al redil and apresurar la obra. We had some really great lessons this week and a milagro!! 

First, Hermana Chumioque is a really sweet girl. I loved working with her. I could tell that she was a little bit shy in the beginning and afraid to do contacts or be bold in the lessons, but once we got to working, we were able to find a few really great contacts and potentials to be investigators. She is really smart, and has a strong testimony, she is also a really GREAT missionary, but she lacks a little bit of drive and boldness. Which is totally normal for her time in the mission. She said that she liked how we worked and felt like she was a real missionary. I was able to give her some advice about not losing any time or any moment to bear testimony of the truth. She seems to be doing really well and excited about missionary work.

So we talked with our bishop about the two programs happening in the area and he was able to give us some really good ideas and we had an AWESOME consejo de barrio with all the leaders. They were all giving ideas and are way more excited to work with all of us to achieve greatness in Limay. It was such a relief and I really feel like we will start to see lots of changes. 

Our milagro was so awesome!!! We couldn't decide what to fast for this week, so we kept walking and talked about some ideas, some things that our area really needs, and we decided to fast that a less active member that we have worked with would come to church and start to progress again.. because we weren't seeing much progress from anyone. Well, Sunday we went to peoples houses, called and showed up at church with nobody. We were kind of bummed... but we turned around and sitting in the last bench was a menos activo that hasn't come in a year and that we hadn't visited for about 3 weeks!! It brought tears to my eyes as he said that he woke up this morning, and didn't know what happened but had a desire to come to church. He went to all of the classes and participated and told us that he wanted to make it more of a habit to come. FASTING WORKS!! Wow, so amazing. (for Jess Hendry: JORGE GOYCEO....algo!!!! He sends his saludos (: )

I can't even handle how much I love the mission and working here and just feeling good almost all of the time. I just got transferred to my neighboring area. We closed our pension and I am now working with the cutiest Hermana Farrow from San Diego. We are gonna kill it here in Limay!! wahoooo (: 

Well, keep on keepin' on peeps. Love you guys, keep choosing the right (:

====================================================================================

ALSO MILAGRO. I SAW ANAHI AND GUSTAVO in Centro this week!!! Best moment ever... if y'all dont remember, they are the couple that got married and baptized in Zapala. so great to see them. best tender mercy eveeerrrr (: 

also, sorry if these pictures don't work. I don't entender the technology. its hard.... :(

====================================================================================

(I was unable to download Kylee's pictures for some reason but I think these may be some of them!  sorry if it isn't.)  She's so dope.....

Long week/ No pics =[

This week was so long, and I feel like we didn't do much, but looking back, we were super busy! We were able to do an intercambio, consejo, a capacitacion and the conferencia de estaca. I feel like I have really been edified this week and I have learned a bunch.

We ate good this week kids. NO MORE FIDEOS ! we totally ate some asado and empanadas and such good food that made me feel like I was at grammy and papas! How're they doing? Not helping with the chubby thing.. but hey, when in argentina... eat bread? hahah whatever. ya fue. 

Also, we had a tight stake conference and our bishop totally dropped cane about the sabbath day. it was SICK. i was like, YEAH OBISPO! KILLIN' IT. haha he was like, we should be converted to the Lord and the gospel, not the members and everything else... also, he was like, it doesn't matter if someone doens't greet you in the street, or if you don't like the bishops counsels or you felt incomfortable because you came in pants instead of a dress... we are here to worship God, not worry about everyone else. 

It was awesome. I was so hyped. I love when people call others to repentence!

Sadly enough, our once progressing investigators have stopped progressing. We are trying to find out how we can be more powerful teachers and share the gospel in a way that is clear and simple. I am learning a lot as I read my scriptures and study the doubts and questions of our investigators. This week I studied a lot about the plan of salvation and the reasons why we should be baptized. I want to start studying more about the priesthood because I know that a lot of people doubt Joseph Smith was a prophet and there was a restoration. I love the scriptures and finding all these hidden treasures. its so sick.

well, doing good here! thanks for all the support. love you guys
