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
