Don't cry for me Tigre!

OK so I got transferred, my comp is Hermana Riquelme's first daughter... in other words Riquelme trained us both, so we are basically sisters, the only thing is Hermana Guerra is from Chile and doesn't speak any English... I mean like none! I have adapted pretty well, it hasn't been as hard as I would think to speak only in Spanish, but this is only the first day!! I'm in Nuñez, which is capital, so goodbye campo (country), all building and such, I'm missing 2 baptisms this Sat in Tigre, but we had 3 this last Saturday, it is how I celebrated my 6 months in the mission with everyone yesterday, but especially Antuane, we both cried a lot! But she works in my new area, so I may stop by every so often! My comp seems really good, But I have only known her for a few hours, but I've heard only good things about her, from Hermana Riquelme! SO what can we learn from this experience... we can't call for justice when what we beg for is mercy!! I keep telling myself there are people here in Nuñez that need me more than the people in Tigre, but it is hard, because Tigre is like the best area in the whole mission, except Ushuia, that is what everyone says!! I am praying for Noelle, and for Gaby, Please keep me super updated, if there was some way I could put her name in the temple here I would, but I can't so oh well.

Anyways I'm doing well, trying to adjust to speaking only Spanish and a new area, this is a pretty crazy transfer, because we are three right now because Hna Guerra's old comp is going home, she finished her mission but she doesn't leave until tomorrow, and then we have another missionary coming in from somewhere to stay with us tonight because she has to do something so tonight there are going to be 4 of us in the little bitty apartment, but after tomorrow morning it will be just me and Hna Guerra!

Sorry this letter is so lame but I'm so stressed out right now with everything about
moving, so hopefully next week will be a lot better!! And maybe one day I will get
pictures to you all!!

Love you all a lot, and tell Noelle to stop trying to be the center of attention!!
