Que calor!

My dearies,
hola!!! ¡cómo están?

We have been so blessed this week. I dont think i have mentioned this but my comp and i started a "purification" and its where we ponder on the things that we change so that we may have the spirit to be with us at all times. We made some  personal goals and some companionship goals. We committed to the Lord by starting with a fast.

i have seen and felt a huge difference this week. We found some more great hijos de Dios. and i feel that they are going to progress. yesterday, Marcela, came to church for the first time!!!!! shes so great all of her family is from Chile so i call her mi mijita marcela :) my chileans have taught me well. Recently, a month a ago marcelas mom passed away. we were so happy to share with her the restauración and how thanks to the restoration we can be with our families forever. and in our second lesson we explained the plan of salvación.Sunday, we went over to her house in the morning and ate breakfast and then we all went to church. yesterday the primaria had a programa and the theme was "families are forever" it was the cutest. all these songs about families and parents always get me teary eyed.

on saturday we got hit with surprise and we now have a new comp hna arenas de Jujuy, Argentina. shes 23 and has 11 months in the mission. we are in a trio!!! hahah my first one. i call us the oreo because im the white cream in the middle and then i have mis morochitas :)

im grateful for all the blessings that i have recieved and am recieving. i love this gospel and i know its true.
everyone!!have a great week please. because i love you all!!

chauuuuuuu
besitos!!

semana enferma‏ {October 20th}

Well my dearies,

this entire week i was sick. and i got to stuffed to the point where i only could breathe through my mouth. but i can tell you all one thing. im so proud of myself because i was sick right when we did divisiones but i worked anyway and the Lord blessed us finding two great news. they are soo cute. they are grandparents, omar and Lidia, 81 and 79. Omar was very worried about whats going to happen after this life. so we gladly, shared the plan of salvation. it was a very special lesson. when we explained the kingdoms of glory. they both said that they want to go to the Celestial Kingdom. I told omar thats where we can live with God, Jesus Christ and our families forever. Omar said, "Ojala!" as in "i wish!" what a pure desire. they both accepted a baptismal date for november.

Im feeling better now. yesterday i recieved a blessing. im excited to see the blessings that come this week. i am so grateful for this time that i have to serve the Lord. its something so special to me.

les quiero mucho!!!!

October 12th

This past weeks have been hard. lots of contacting and searching for new people to teach. lots of our investigators that we had arent completing with their commitments so sadly were going to have to stop teaching them. 

i had the chance to have an interview with president and it was nice to just talk to him about my questions and concerns. on sunday, i came down with a fever and a sore throat. so it was a day of rest. haha my comp gave me some peppermint oil to put on my nose to help me breathe. now i know why the people use pepper spray to keep the bad guys away. my eyes were tearing and burning all night haha.

also funny story the other day we helped with an activity and we were waiting for the bus to take us home. i didnt know which one to take. so i got on one to ask the driver no one heard me or maybe no one understood me. while i was standing on the bus my comp was waiting on the sidewalk at the bus stop. all of the sudden the bus starting running and the first thing i thought was jump. ahahah i jumped off the bus to the sidewalk. probably wasnt the smartest thing but i was safe and sound and i was reunited once again with my comp. hah

i hope you all have a great week. we are still searching for people to teach. i know that after all our hard work we will find someone prepared to accept the true gospel.

i love you all very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

¡Vamos Melody! :)‏

Well my  dearies. this transfer i recieved cambios!!! I am still in Parque Leloir, but now i have a new companion. Hna. Solís!!! She´s 20 yrs old and shes from Concepción, Chile!!!!! Where Mel is serving ahhhhh super joya. Im seriously loving these chilenos that i´ve been with. im looking forward to this transfer. She only has 2 months left so most likely shes going to "die" with me. We are still the STL´s. Mel sos una capa!!!!!!!  i know that you are going to be the best "mamá" with all your sweetness. 

So far i havent recieved the trunky letter... i dont have any news on that. im not trunky. hahah this week we had an adventure because we went to the temple for my comp her converts were getting sealed. i was so excited because i thought that i would get to be in my first sealing. nope. we advised the temple workers and they that we needed to wait. after waiting for 2 hours a sister came up and told us that the sealing happened 15 minutes ago and that no one advised her. its okay what can i do. 

hahahah funny story. we were contacting and the man just told us no thanks, we´re sleeping. so we went to the next house and then a lady came out of the house where the man was. And she started yelling at us and telling us to never knock on her door again. then she went back inside. then once again she came out and started walking up to us with lots of rage. i was like oh no is she going to hit my comp?? or me? haha she just yelled some more and we left and didnt say anything. and then everything was okay. hahahah afterwards my comp and i were thinking hey good thing we have our umbrellas to protect us.

Also im looking so forward to conference coming up this week. its such a great opportunity for our investigadores know the the church and feel the spirit. im going to be inviting everyone on the street. Yesterday i had to teach relief society alone and i was super nervous. i was given the talk from May "if you love me, keep my commandments" I love it because i learned so much from it. one the questions in the talk really touched me. "why do we committ sin when we know the eternal consequence?" I know that we came to earth to obey. While we were in heaven before this life we told our Heavenly Father that we would obey and return to him. Thanks to our savior we can get up when we fall. We can return with Them.

Love you all!!!!!!
