This Mission Business Is Going By Way Too Fast

Hahaha i loved your joint email of 2 lines haha. it´s all good, you already wrote me a ton this week. 

      This week was great, we had a baptism of the coolest kid ever. his name is alan and he´s 18. He got baptized because he has a huge testimony and he wants to go serve the lord for 2 years as soon as possible. The day after his baptism he called us and said, ´´hey, now that i´m baptized and everything i can go out and do visits with you guys, right?´´ he´s such a cool kid. 

     Thanks a ton for all the names and numbers so i´m not too confused about things. that helped me out a ton and also Kjirst sent me a great email helping out a bunch too. haha, i feel like such a looser not knowing my own family!

   I can´t belive that we are already on the last wek of this transfer!! This mission business is going by way too fast. My comp just got here and he totally agrees with me that these weeks just feel likee days.  i don´t know if i can just go home. i´ve been out here for a tenth of my life, i never knew the idea of home could just completely change like that. I´ll be honest, i´m really scared, but luckily i have 2 months left!!

     yesterday at church our mission president was just there and we were super weirded out about it because he´s not really one to visit random missionaries without purpose, but he told us he had come because he had a meeting with the area presidency, like the seventies, and all the stake presidents of our mission. they all came to our church because we have the stake center, but it was just so weird, i have like been out in the middle of nowhere for like 8 months then i come here to Rosario where i just like see profets all the time. I guess i like it a lot.

       We have so many people in our area who are just awesome and progressing a ton, we just need more time to be able to teach them all they need to know so that they can get baptized. I will be super surprised if we don´t baptize at least 4 people within the next month ( which is a lot for our mission) just because the people are so prepared here. 

     Well, i´ll see you soon, have fun in pheonix! what did you two go there for anyway?

Soaked by an Argentine Rain

Dear mom,

         This week we had a ton of meetings. On Tuesday we had a zone meeting in our church so we just walked there. on the way there it started to rain, but like a nice big argentine rain so we got completely soaked in our suits walking to a meeting that´s like six blocks from our house haha. everyone else showed up in taxis so we were the only ones who got wet and we live the closest!! I told the leaders we had to leave at six and they told me they would be done, but six rolled around and they were just right in the middle of all their stuff and my companion and i totally just stood up and left ha. 

       On wednesday we had a huge meeting with all the leaders of half of the mission. I was once again reunited with Elder Solomon. I don´t know if you remember about him, but we started the mission together, he was my companion in santa fe, and we´re pretty much the closest thing to boyfriends you can be as a missionary, plus he´s from texas.  it was the first time i had seen him in  over 8 months so we went out to eat and just celebrated being alive and together.

     Then on thursday we had interviews with the president. i got my temple recommend renewed so i can i go to the temple when i get home for a solid 3 months

     The work is going really good. we haven´t baptized in this area yet, but we have 2 this week. We had 7 investigators who went to church and our bishop told our stake president to please not take us out of the area because finally they got 2 good missionaries haha, don´t know what he wants to say about the missionaries before, but we sure are working a ton. 

    I have a huge favor to ask for you!! could you please send me a list of our family haha, i realized taht i don´t know anyone, but i would love to have a list of everyone especially right now nearing the end of the mission, you know, just so i don´t forget about anyone if i try to bring home argentine stuff.

  I love you lots, have a great easters!!

HOW CRAZY!

         HAHAHAHAHAHA I love this sooo much!! tell him i´m super sorry i couldn´t make it, but nobody called me! The whole family traveled to get there, you might as well have seen if i was willing to make the trip, but it´s ok, i´m not offended. HOW CRAZY. it seems like everybody is just getting married over there! all my brothers, my girlfriend, etc... Tell him congrats for me and that i´m so proud of him! I knew the day would come, but i thought i would have already been off my mission. 

       Everything is going great here, we just have a ton of work to do and i can never quite seem to find enough time during these preparation days to write everything i want to write. We have 3 people getting baptized very very soon so we have to teach like 800 lessons this week to each of them and set up all kinds of interviews.

        My companion and i figured out that cocroaches exist plentifully here in rosario so one morning last week we just killed them all, all morning! It was a super epic battle cuz we had this spray that made them go nuts for  like 10 minutes until it killed them so we sprayed them and they just went wack and showed us all their great ariel moves. there was just a pile of them in the middle of our floor in our apartment after we had got done killing them. Ask me to tell you about how my companion speaks in the middle of the night some time cuz that´s quite a story just waiting to get told. 

        Tell the fam i love them tons and tell Jer he´s a stud. i´ll try to write more next week. love you tons!!!
