big news family... big news!!!

Before I start out I just can't wait, i'm not patient enough!! so I've been feeling really strongly this past week that I wasn't going to get transferred but go to Argentina.  Weird feeling but I just felt like it was getting closer.  Transfers are next Tuesday, can you believe this is my 2 in the field? crazy.  Anyways I head to choir today and a senior missionary pulls me aside and tells me I need to go get finger printed.  Well I just decided to straight up ask her (here in the field they pretty much keep everything secret from you until the very last minute)  if I got my visa.  Well she looks at me puzzled... "well yes, your flight is booked!"  I'm sure the expression on my face was priceless. somewhere like excited, to wait is this a joke, to when do I leave, to full on tears!! the Hermana I came out with also got hers! we'll be heading out on the 24th (not for sure on any details).   I just started hugging this little old woman. for like a good solid 5 minutes too.  I was so happy and still am.  Wow this is it folks, the time has  come.  There is so much adrenaline pumping in my body right now.  SO DON"T SEND ANY MORE LETTERS PLEASE!  well if you do send them only to the mission home address and then they will be forwarded to Argentina.  what great news... and the funny thing is Hermana Gardner said she felt the same way I did, that we'd be leaving. Oh goodness I'm PUMPED!!!!  (it's also my last week of training... good thing imma be leaving:) )
That being said... I am leaving an area I was just getting used to. which has been the Historia de mi Vida!  once I get the hang of things I get switched. I think it keeps me going though, and makes me adapt quicker. I predict once in Argentina I'll stay in the same area for a waaaaay long time. just the opposite of hear.  I've had 7 companions already!!  This week has been by far been the most successful on my mission.  We had 22 other lessons last week and knocked every single day, a lot!! well this week consisted of going back to all of our set appointments from the week prior.  We had some wonderful lessons and put three people on date for the beginning of November!  I can see so much happening in this area (which is huge, we haven't even made a dent in yet.)  we also ran into two part member families by inspiration.  we were walking around knocking and I looked at a house and was like "yup we need to visit there."  well they fed us the el Salvadorian dish of (pupossas... don't judge the spelling.. I made it up obvi.)  they are delicious.  out of the 6 people there two were members. They even invited us back, well sure don't mind if we do!  they're great and i'm excited to return.  I feel Like there is so much to do here and now I've been given a time limit before I leave.  I BETTER GET INTO GEAR!  this past week however my comp and I have been hitting everything hard and the results have been showing.  We work really well together and since neither of us speak Spanish we smile a lot at people.  and SING!   that's one thing I can actually do in Spanish.  Well I'm about out of time.. not much details this week folks, sorry about that. and next week will be crazy with transfers. p-day is on Tuesdays.  This week was great and I can only imagine next will be EVEN BETTER!!  WOOT WOOT!!  

LOVE YOU ALL!
