OK so this week was full of laughs and fun, but also it was a long stressful week. We are still in the, looking for people who want eternal salvation, but we just feel like we are fighting with people to understand us. Whatever, there are thousands of people in Tonelero just waiting to hear our voices, we just have to find them, who knew it would be so hard??
This last week we celebrated Christmas, it was A TON of fun, we took pictures, made smoothies, Christmas cookies with icing (Hermana Ladd has Christmas cookie cutters) and we made crepes for breakfast, and then we sang the first verse of all the Christmas hymns, AND read the Christmas orange story, wow it was better than my real Christmas!! We were going to buy each other presents but we didn't have time or money, but it was better that way!! This week we are celebrating New Years! We are going to dress up and order a really good meal and drink Mormon champagne... haha we are such dorks, but it keeps us animated after long hard weeks!!
I wish I had better stories to tell this week, but I just don't! But I guess I will just end with a funny food Gypsy story!! There are always good funny stories when it comes to the Gypsies!!
So when we eat with them it is ALWAYS asado, and usually deliciousness, well this last Sunday, it was good... until Marcelo brought out something neither one of us knew what it was. He gave us each one and said try it, but if you don't like it don't eat it, we asked what it was and he told us but neither one of us knew what it was, we decided it was better to try it first then ask for details later... I thought it can't be worse than heart or liver can it?? I only tried like 2 bites, when I cut into it stuff oozed out, I didn't think that was a good sign, it was so disgusting and after we asked what it was... apparently it was intestines... YUCK!! But not only that, later we were talking to another missionary and he was like no that stuff is good, but there are 2 ways to fix it, the only way to eat it is cleaned out, did you have it cleaned out or with the crap still in it... so just to add to my list of weird foods, I ate intestines with crap still inside it!! I wanted to eat a bar of soap afterwards... but i didn't!! Oh I just love Argentina!!
Haha, welp that is all I have time for, it is so cold here, my fingers hurt to type...
but I'm not complaining, it is a lot better than summer!!
Love y'all

Feliz Día de Amigo
SO here in Argentina July 20th is what they call friend day, who knew they actually celebrated it hard core here, well we thought we would buy some little candies to hand out to people, then we found out some of the recent converts bought us a gift, we were freaking out realizing we needed to do something for them, what do you even buy for friend day! We ended up just buying more candy... haha hey we are poor missionaries!! Well they bought us mates and are going to teach us how to make mate, I'm pretty excited, it was really cute! So everyone happy friend day, oh and august 9th is kids day, these Argentines LOVE celebrating holidays!!
I'm sorry this letter is probably going to be pretty lame, not too much exciting has happened this last week, we are still looking for new investigators, we are walking A LOT and its hard, but then I realize at least i have a friend as my companion, things could be worse!!
Oh and some info we shouldn't know yet, but Hermana Ladds old comp called her, we are getting 3 new missionaries this next transfer, and it looks like I will probably be training... I'm so nervous, I would like another yankee but I will probably get a latin, I just hope its a good one!! I wont be going back to liniers, because president told me that he needs someone like Hermana Ladd to keep Tonelero going and that is why he chose me to go to Liniers! That is like a huge thing because she is an awesome missionary and everyone loves her here! But I'm so ready for it!
OK so to clear up the Gypsy thing, it was just a funny story, they never actually offered money, and the guy left to go back home! There are some gypsies that aren't good, they have a bad rep here, but the ones we are always with are just a little weird, but good people! The one we go see is a Gypsy, he just joined the church because he married a non Gypsy who is a member, and now she dresses like a Gypsy (poor girl) and lives the lifestyle, but they are really good members of the church! But the whole buying me thing, its kind of a joke, so you can stop worrying and tell dad that I'm perfectly fine!
OK so funny story, I needed Hermana Ladd to send me a letter from our president, so she went to forward it to me and put in the letter fool, remember that time the creepy man was making that noise, just a funny joke thing we have, well it ends up instead of forwarding it to me, she emailed that line to our mission president! HAHA we have been laughing about that one for the last 10 min! She had to write him again saying sorry, I can't wait to see if he says something next week! HAHA I'm just glad it wasn't me!! Sorry this letter is so lame, maybe once we start getting investigators it will be better! We have decided we need to be more obedient, so we study in separate rooms, and it is so hard to not talk to each other, its ridiculous, but oh well we are doing better!!
Hope everyone is well, and I'd love to hear from everyone and get pics of the cutest kids
in the world!!
Love y'all

So this week was good, interesting, and stressful! Let's just say I'm still so grateful to be with my new comp! She is amazing (she is threatening to call mom when she gets home!) So we did a lot of walking this past week, and we are still working on finding new investigators that will progress, it would be nice if the members realized how important they are in our work, in fact one of the members told us that they aren't here to help us, we are here to help them (the members) after that it was hard to ask for help, or in other words ask for references! But not all the members are like him, most of them are trying to think of friends, and we are getting references slowly but surely!
Last Friday was zone conference, and during the conference one of the elders in Liniers was giving an example and basically trashed the work I had done in Liniers saying when he got there, there was nothing to work with and then they found an awesome family (which this family was found by our zone leaders, I put the appointment and all this elder do was show up at the appt). Well after he finished his example feeling like president was going to congratulate him, he got the opposite. President Argyle looked at him and said Elder good job, but just so you know you are living in abundance thanks to what this sister here has done for your area now, and went on for a minute about how he is so blessed to be in Liniers in comparison to what I lived through in Liniers! I felt pretty good! Then in my interview later with President he told me he didn't take me out of Liniers because of my work, he just said he had to close an area because he lost 2 hermanas and no new ones came. His exact wording was I closed Liniers because your companion left and her replacement didn't get here in time (making it sound like he is planning on me training soon). He said he wanted to keep me close so that is why I'm in Tonelero, and he just said thank you a lot for everything I did, I felt really good, but it really isn't anything I did, I just did my part and the Lord is the one that did all the work! But I was really grateful for all the things president said, because I did feel a little like maybe he didn't trust me to keep Liniers going, but he told me that wasn't it at all!!
So after zone conference we had weekly planning where we celebrated thanksgiving with corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, and green beans, also we ate derby pie for dessert!!It was a good thanksgiving, this Friday is Halloween and our birthdays! It is going to be fun! Friday was a little sad because all the elders took all the English Ensigns, so I won't get to even read conference in English. I'm kinda bummed! And even though I finally got my b-day package from mom and a few good letters, my comp didn't receive ANYTHING!! Not even one letter or postcard, it is her last transfer, she didn't really say anything but I could tell she was kinda bummed! I was thinking if anyone wanted to write her something you could send it to me and Ill print it out and give it to her like they are letters so she can feel special!
OK so Saturday my companions back started to hurt, but not too bad, and we walked like all day Sat!! Then I finally met the gypsies! They are really funny, very sarcastic! I'm starting to learn there are a lot of rules to the whole Gypsy lifestyle! You can only be born into, or marry into it, but that is harder! Don't worry I'm not thinking about becoming a Gypsy, I'm just giving background info! So sat night we were talking to Ruth and Marcelo (Marcelo is a Gypsy and Ruth just married into it) Marcelo just joined the church about a month ago and Ruth is already a member! Well apparently Marcelo's dad is like top Gypsy, and their house is like headquarters or something, well one of the cousins or something got in a fight with his girlfriend and is staying at the house, well he is weird, and every time we have gone he just sits there staring at us! Well another bit of background the gypsies do arranged marriages, but its more like they buy the wives! SO my comp went to the bathroom and the dad Gypsy started talking to this cousin about me and how I was cute, and then the cousin agreed and the dad started asking me a ton of questions, luckily my comp came back and we left! I think the cousin wants to buy me!! So we went back yesterday and he was asking us all kinds of questions and hermana Ladd didn't let me talk because he was directing them at me, luckily he goes back home (which is far) today! We think it is really funny that a Gypsy wants to buy me!
So Sunday rolls around and my companions back starts hurting even more! and we walked A LOT and we ate lunch with the gypsies, it was good traditional Argentine asado!! Can I just say DELICIOUS!! And we just walked all day after that, well at the end of the day my comp could barely move! Monday I wake up at 6:30 with the alarm and my comp goes hermana is it 6:30 yet, and I was like yeah that is what the alarm means, and she was like ok I need to go to the bathroom, I was like um OK go, and then she said I can't move! I had to help her out of the bed (she was sleeping on the top bunk) so she could go to the bathroom, she had been waiting like 2 hours for it to be 6:30!! I don't know why she just didn't wake me up!! SO then I gave her my bed and took her mattress down, because I won't sleep on the top bunk! But she was in so much pain she was in bed all day long, so we were in all day Monday! I went a little crazy, I had to help her get up every time she needed to!! It was crazy, she got some medicine and it helped a little! so that night she slept in my bed and I slept on a mattress on the floor. Tuesday she woke up a little better so we went out to work, but by the end of the day she was dead, we went to our mission leaders house and he gave her a blessing! She starting crying before the blessing, and she never cries, it was really hard! But then this morning she wakes up and feels great! Her back is still really stiff but she isn't in pain! Keep her in your prayers, but don't worry about her too much, I take really good care of her! I carried her bag around all day, it was so heavy cause it had both our stuff in it!
Well I think that is all the exciting stuff for this week, my comp almost died and a Gypsy wants to buy me! I also had a really spiritual experience this last Sunday, but its one of those things that isn't appropriate for an email, so it will just have to wait until I can tell it after the mission!!
Love you all and keep the letters coming!!

Welp everyone I have been officially welcomed into Tonelero. My very first lunch here we ate with a family from Peru and well they were joking about how they were going to make us heart someday so I could try it, and I said OK well if you do just don't tell me before hand, we ate lunch and I didn't really enjoy the meat, it was just a little too chewy for me, after we ate it they were like oh yeah by the way, you just ate heart!! I freaked out, so I made it like 10 months into my mission and this is my first weird thing, we also just ate lunch with them this week and they gave us liver and brought in like a huge live fish and killed it and made fish burgers, I almost threw up watching them fix it, I made my comp sit in front of me so I couldn't see it. Luckily I had told them before that day that I can't eat fish so they just gave me liver soup and rice with a fried egg on top! Sounds delicious doesn't it! I think life will be interesting here!!
I don't really have much time to talk about too much. I feel bad because this week was awesome, lets just say I am the happiest I have ever been in my mission right now. I'm with an awesome companion, we are like the same person, which is a little scary sometimes! And the area has been having a lot of success, this week was kind of hard though because we had to leave a lot of investigators and then that family of 6 that was supposed to get baptized this week left us, but I haven't lost hope or let it get me down. We both just decided it meant the Lord has another even better family for us to find. We went out and knocked doors the other day and found an investigator by singing to him. It was a joke my comp and I had I said I would ask him if we could sing and she didn't believe me, well he actually said we could we were so surprised we were like um what should we sing, well we have an appointment with him tomorrow!!
This last Saturday we decided we were both so happy about the fact we are both from the States and we celebrated 4th of July, we made hamburgers and I totally made derby pie. It was delicious, then we decided since I passed most of my major holidays with Riquelme and I was suffering we are going to re celebrate every holiday in this transfer, this Friday is Thanksgiving, next week is Halloween and our birthdays (because her birthday is Halloween for real) and then the next week is Christmas and the next is New Years and then we are still trying to figure out the last holiday, we are thinking Abe Lincolns birthday, but if anyone has any ideas we would love to hear it!! I'm so excited about this transfer!! It is so much fun being with someone from the same place as me!!
The members here are awesome. I already feel like part of the branch, they all love us and are always trying to take care of us. It is so much different then the ward of Liniers, where in our first meeting with the ward mission leader told us we were a bother to the ward, it is not like that here!!
My comp and I speak in English like all the time, I forgot how much I like English, but we don't speak in pure English, we speak in Spanglish because sometimes things in Spanish come out easier, it is funnier when I randomly say things in English to people. I'm bad at that! I don't have time to write more, but I got to go to the temple last week. If I have time next week I will write all about that miracle!
Can I just say I love the mission!!
Love ya

Holy crap this week has been full of surprises!! I don't really have time to write about everything but let's just say, we had a baptism this last Saturday and it was perfect, and we planned it in like 2 hours! It was really stressful because we had everything planned and then our bishop called us on Tuesday and said I will not have baptisms on Saturday, you can only do it on Sunday, which is really against the norms here in the mission. It is a lot better on Saturdays, so I couldn't believe he was starting this whole thing again after promising us just 2 weeks ago that baptisms could be on Saturday, so we were really upset. I didn't have the patience to talk to him and I was just praying to leave Liniers. Well then Friday night our bishop calls and says well are you having a baptism this weekend or not, and we were like um we don't know and he was like oh I thought you had one planned for tomorrow, and we were like yeah but you said we couldn't do it and he was like oh I don't have any problem. Then we come to find out our stake president talked to him, but I don't know what changed because before he had talked to him and our bishop said yeah the stake president thinks baptisms are better on Saturdays but I command things here... WOW I couldn't believe he actually said that! Well something changed and he said we could have the baptism, and then he said it has to be very organized, this was like Friday night at 10:20pm and the baptism was the next day at 6, my comp got really sick that day so I was stuck calling like the whole ward inviting people and giving out assignments, and I must say the baptism was perfect! I absolutely loved it and a lot of members went! I think our bishop is a little mad that everything went so well!!
SO then we were also waiting for transfers because of course I knew I would be getting a new comp, and we were talking about who it could be, of course we never even thought that I would get transferred, so then we get home on Monday night to plan and our mission president calls. I think my heart stopped because he only calls for 2 reasons, that I knew of, to either tell you you are going to train, or that you are going to the south, so he calls and I was so nervous, and that is when he tells me I will be going to Tonelero with Hermana Ladd, which made me so happy because she is awesome, we get along so well. I'm just really sad she goes home in one transfer! Things are still a little weird right now because Hna Pérez is still here until tomorrow morning so things won't be normal until tomorrow, but we are both so excited to be together because we never thought it would be possible. My area shares the same chapel with Liniers so I'm still practically in the same area, but it is a branch which means the members are sooooo much better. I already know most of them really well, because, well, I see them every Sunday! I'm so excited to be in this area, I always wanted to come here but never thought it would be possible!! We have 6 baptisms planned for the 11th. I don't know them yet but they are a family from Bolivia, they seem really great! The work in the branch here is so good and they have a mission plan that is the best I've ever seen! And the best part of everything is I will still be able to see the members and converts from Liniers every Sunday anyways, because I will miss a few members, there is one member that was like my mom here in Liniers and I will miss her a lot, but thankfully I will see her every Sunday! But wow I can't believe my luck, I'm so excited. A little about my comp, her name is Hermana Ladd. She is from Vermont she went to BYU Idaho before her mission. She is a little crazy. The other day she burnt her lip while eating an apple with a knife. She wanted to cook it and didn't realize the knife was so hot, now she looks really funny with a big burn mark on her lip! I think this transfer is going to be the best in my mission until now! I have a great area and a great comp at the same time. I'm excited!! Pray for me and my new area I'm sure we need it, no matter how great it seems I'm sure there is still a lot of work to do!!
I think there were other things I wanted to write about, but to be honest I can't really remember, but this week was a week of miracles, I saw a lot of progress in Liniers and I'm so excited I got to be a part of it!
I hope everyone is well and well I guess I will be writing next week. Let's hope my letter will be better!!
Love ya,
Hermana Gosnell
P.S. You all have a pic of my comp. Remember my birthday cake? She is the one where we are eating the cake!!

I think this transfer is going to be the best in my mission until now! I have a great area and a great comp at the same time. I'm excited!! Pray for me and my new area I'm sure we need it, no matter how great it seems I'm sure there is still a lot of work to do!!
I think there were other things I wanted to write about, but to be honest I can't really remember, but this week was a week of miracles, I saw a lot of progress in Liniers and I'm so excited I got to be a part of it!
I hope everyone is well and well I guess I will be writing next week. Let's hope my letter will be better!!
Love ya,
Hermana Gosnell
P.S. You all have a pic of my comp. Remember my birthday cake? She is the one where we are eating the cake!!
