GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Today is an excellent day... why? because ¨somewhere over the rainbow¨ is playing as I write to you...

 

This week was full... haha isnt every week? I would first like to start out by saying that I love american the beautiful and miss you, but until next year I will just have to keep singing (or belting) your anthem on my argentine bike.  Happy birthday home land!

My other important announcement, if you didnt already know, argentina is in the semi finals. EVERYONE there for is required to add this game and every player to your prayers... I know I just mentioned my pride for the USA but in soccer... there isnt much hope. ARGENTINA IS GOING TO TAKE IT ALL!!!! and I AM GOING TO BE A WITNESS!  luckily we have been given permission to watch the game, can you believe it.. a miracle!  VAMOS ARGENTINA! I am so stoked, its better than march madness! 

This week my comp and I had a great miracle, saturday morning we were walking at nine o clock in tihe morning in the freezing cold praying that some one would be awake... usually we spend saturday mornings walking around until about 11 when everyone decides to greet the day. a name pops in my comps head, one of our referencias and we decide to give it a shot. three houses away, a lady pops her head out the window and asks what we are doing and we are going to die in the cold (slightly dramatic no)  well without even saying who we were our referencia let us in.  We began teaching her the restoration to find that it was a perfect lesson.  She began to cry and tell us that she needed help, she had been praying two seconds before that God would send his spirt to drink mate with her and to help her know his will. she had the filling to look at the window and did it, and who did she find? the missionaries! literally a direct answer to her prayers.  She began explainingi how she wants to find the chruch where she feels good, where she knows God is happy with her.  She has a lot of emotional problems and literally is calling on us to help her. Never Have I seen anyone so prepared to receive us!  She is a dream of every missionary.  My comp and I went away just amazed at how heaven sent she was for us.   

We also contacted another referencia who orginally wasnt home during the week but we talked with her daughter.When we passed by again she was home and let us in.  She began telling us her story of losing a baby and her sister almost 4 months.  She told us how she  had been praying that we would return and talk with her.  Her daughter helped her believe in God, as before she was born she didnt believe in anything.  Can you believe that?  a ten year old helping her parents pray and graciously acept that there is an all powerful being...  Once again my comp and I are awed. We feel so blessed to be placed in these peoples paths, because literally they live on streets we have knocked and passed by a thousand times but never had an success... until now.  Its all in HIS TIMING folks, and its all in HIS WAY!  My testimony of referencias this week has sky rocketed!  

"my umbrella hit the road in a storm this week..."

Well Know that I am greeeeet just as my friend tony the tiger says and this week is going to be super because we get to watch the game, have the marriage of GABRIELA AND DIEGO, and get to meet our new mission president! I am stoked!  Never been happier. love you all and keep on playing in the sunshine for me.
