Tuesday night came and transfer calls ran in, I wasn't
nervous until they say hello hermansa and my heart instantly sinks and I
hear hermana alley pack your things.... What? haha joke right? nope.
dead serious. Hermana vicente is staying in haedo AGAIN and I am
hitting the road Jack... I was so caught of guard, 99.9 % positive I
would be leading the area, now I am saying bye. Not knowing what to
expect, cause literally I only know ARGENTINA from haedo, since I was
born here. Excited and nervous the four of us party animals spent our
last few hours together chatting and laughing a whole new adventure about
to start. I called up Raycto and Mica to let them know, my best buds
here. Raycto is `planning on going through the temple in ia nyear
before he heads on a mission, and you better believe I will be there to
see it! It was so sad to hang up with them... Man Do i get attached!
Transfer meetings are very much so Like the hunger games, a picture of a
companion comes up and then the other one follows. Well Just like that
in a blink of an eye my fake was visible for everyone and I am
headed... wait for it.... mooooo mmooooooo... THATS RIGHT CAMPO!!! I am
headed to Campo, there are two zones in our area that are out in the
field and I am off. Completely opposite of Ramos which is a huge busy
city. well we get in a taxi, takes us to, a bus place (practically like
an airport but for busses) and load on, 6 hours later, we spend the
night with a senior couple, the next morning load another bus and after
an hour I arrived in my new area! My companion is hermana tellez, she is
from collumbia and so speaks spanish not catellano, some times it is
so difficult to understand her. She is so great and we are practically
instantly best friends! I love this place already. We got of Route 66
and arrived at radiator springs... but seriously I see maters all day
long, but cant translate the movie quotes correctly. Darn. (they just
want me for my body... bubbus) And hold the phone I have so much space.
one room in our appartment was my entire apartment in ramos. We have a
microwave.... yah you better believe I hugged it... we have a little
air condition in the bed room... you better believe I kissed it.. yah no
washing machine, yah no warm water (as of now) but thats ok this `place
is excellent. We also have bikes! 2 areas have bikes and we get them!
Its difficult with the argeninta wind but I love riding into the fields
of cows and horses, I think I am more of a country girl after all. The
culture here is completely different in just 3 days of work we
completed all our key indicators... aka that's a lot of lessons! people
are so incredibly welcoming and loving. This new puelbo is my home! We
have an excellent teaching pool that are focusing on right now, really
the issue here is keeping people active. Lots of members but only about
20 come to church. The church is a house and the font is a mini pool.
There is a lot of churches around here, and siesta is taken very
serious its a ghost town.
Being that this a new and fresh start I wanted to
started off running. say goodbye to English since no one here speaks
it, and I am after 7 months finally ok with that. Filthy English... haha
I honestly feel myself growing as a missionary and can some what carry
on conversations with people! woah woot! My favorite thing in the world
is the first vision. The spirit is always present and birds really do
sing in the background. I tell you what I love being a missionary, how
great to just represent someone who brings us all salvation. How great
to help people everyday and reasure mourning hearts that families are
forever! my job is great! I am so sad to have left before Amelias
baptism though.... I hope one day I have the opportunity to give her the
biggest hug as a member not an investigator.She made me a better
person. This work is great, and I am starting to get the hang of it,
yah I am definitely not perfect and have a lot to learn, but everyday I
sit down stoked to open my scriptures and every night my prayers are
nothing but gratitude. Love you tonns!!!
Ohh also the storms are crazy here... I love them!
nothing like mild Utah. We had two huge ones this week and I maybe didn't
sleep because I was to busy watching the rio out the window and the
skys light up with electricity. Carnival is for the next three months
bubbus... that blessed all night celebration!
oh hello my new area is called 25 de mayo, and is chivicoy. my comp came to Argentina the same day as me from the mtc.
