Ok so there were no transfers, so I am here another 6 weeks with hermana Reese. We are both pretty excited about it, even before we knew there would no transfers we went out and bought ice cream to celebrate, because we decided we didn't want transfers, and well we were right... there were no changes! Actually our president basically told us that there would be very little changes because we are in the last week of the double. I haven't mentioned it, but last year at this time as a mission we put a goal to double baptisms, and this is the last week of that period, and to achieve it we need as a mission to have 52 baptisms this weekend!! It is a huge goal, because the most we have ever seen in a weekend is 43 I think! So pray for us that this weekend we will be able to see a miracle! My comp and I well, we don't have much to work with but we have faith that we will see a miracle in some form this week! So because of this president said there wouldn't be very many changes, and even told us to treat this week like a normal one, because normally we have district meetings on mondays and pday on wednesdays, but transfer week it is all different, we have pday on tuesdays and district meetings on wednesdays, but this week no, we kept it all the same... which is good because I forgot to tell you all to write me before tuesday!!
Well This last week nothing too exciting is going on! My comp did't have too many crazy things happen. She did fall once that was really funny! We were running to cross the street cause a bus was coming and we got to the other side and she just biffed it, I don't even know what happened, all of a sudden I turn around and my comp is sprawled out all over the sidewalk with all the contents of her bag spilled everywhere... it was soooo funny!! Luckily she didn't get hurt!!
Oh and our lesson with Elder Campero went well, it wasn't exactly everything I had hoped it to be, it actually almost didn't even happen! Romina was really sick and refused to come down until we said we would just leave and come back another day and then she came down to see us!! And it was really nice cause elder campero gave her a blessing, and we had a lesson and he bore his testimony which was really nice, but it was hard because romina was really sick and she wasnt really paying attention, but the spirit was really strong, and I know it helped them a lot! Beacause we went back on saturday and talked to them about baptism and marriage, and well romina is still saying no to baptism, and we had what we called a charla franco with them, which is basically saying they need to get baptized, because we have nothing left to teach them, and they really started thinking about it, and well we will get our answer from them tonight! I hope it all goes well!!
Wow I don't really know what to say, not much is going on, we are working a lot but
sometimes I feel like we aren't doing anything! I know I'm putting in my all because I don't know what more I can do!! I love this work, I love being a missionary but it is def the hardest thing I have ever done!! We are working a ton with the members, trying to gain their confidence, its hard, but little by little maybe we can do it!
Welp I gotta run, we have lots to do!!
Love yall and thanks for everything!!

PS to Ladd, I dont hate you, I just miss you a TON!!!!

9-16-09
So this last week has been a good one, we have had one gross experience, one funny, one annoying, and one AMAZING!! So I will proceed to tell you all each one!!
I will start with the gross experience, so we had lunch with the flia gamarra on friday, it was some kind of spinach thing, it was good and rice, with aji (some kind of spicy thing) I love aji, so I put a ton on my food, I actually really liked everything I ate, and we left and went to work... well I started to feel really sick about an hour later. But like really sick, but I wanted to keep working, and anyways since it was friday we go home at 6 to plan, so I was like I can hang on until then. So we walked around a lot and then ended the day with ruth and marcelo (los gitanos) I was feeling really sick and just wanted to go home, we shared with them the scripture we had wanted and i was ready to go, but as always marcelo left to go buy something for us to drink, I mentioned I didn't want anything because I felt sick, so Ruth said just buy apple juice, so he left, and I was like I hope I don't throw up, so Ruth showed me where the bathroom was just in case, we walked back to their room and I was about to sit down when I turned around and ran out the door and por suerte made it to the bathroom and started throwing up... it was so bad! For those of you who know me, I NEVER throw up!! I just wanted to go home, but well we live about 40min from our area in bus, or 15min in car... but car is more expensive, well I couldn't handle driving in a bus, so I opted for a car. We sat with ruth and marcelo for a bit for me to calm down, and then we left walking to find a remis place, well all the cars were being used so we left to find another one, luckily we found a taxi and took that. I told him I wasn't feeling well, but he just kept driving crazy, and well usually they dont talk to us but this one did, he talked a ton, and I didn't want to talk back but I had to, I looked at my companion and asked her to pray I wouldn't up chuck in the car... luckily I didn't! I got home changed as quickly as I could and curled up and bed and fell asleep, slept for a few hours and started throwing up again! It was awful... but that was the last of it! I slept the rest of the night, I ended up sleeping for like 12hours straight!! I was still feeling horrible on sat so we stayed in all day, I counted it up and I slept 24hours during a 48hour period... I got caught up on all my lost sleep! It was horrible, but well at least I am better now, Im just nervous to eat at the gamarra house now!!
Ok so now for my really funny experience, of course this has to do with my companion!! So after district meeting we had a lunch appointment really far away and so we took a bus, it was ridiculously crowded, I cant even explain how bad it was, well I was being pushed toward the back as more and more people squeezed on, some how my companion stayed up front. Well I finally got to the doors and stayed put so I could get off quickly, well I saw our stop coming up and motioned to my comp that we were getting off, I thought she would either start moving back or try to get off up front. So any ways I jump off and stand there waiting for my comp. She never got off, I start freaking up and she still isnt getting off. I see her face show up in the doorway as the door shuts and the bus starts moving... I take off running after the bus screaming PARÃ PARÃ which is stop in spanish, but of course that doesn't do anything! so luckily the bus stopped only a block away and she gets off and comes running over to me, and tells me what happened. So she wanted to get off the front but couldn't get around the people, so tried to push her
way back, but she is really sweet and only nicely asks people out of the way, here in Buenos Aires you cant be too sweet when you need to get off a crowded bus! Well she made it to the doors as he closes the doors, she started to panic and yelled WAIT!! IN ENGLSIH!!! HAHA it was so funny, she started touching the timbre like a million times so they just let her off a block later!! I died laughing, I thought it was so funny!!
So now for the annoying story combined with the amazing story! It all happened
yesterday!! SO yesterday started out horrible, but ended AMAZING! We had an appointment with the gitanos, and well ruth wasn't home, so we went to find marcelo, and he freaked out trying to find his wife, so needless to say we went and found something else to do. Then we had been told we had lunch with gamarra because they had signed up for the elders but since they aren't here anymore we could have it, which is good because we dont have time or money to go home, but i was a little nervous to eat there again so soon... they are the ones that I got food poisoning with, and they usually give us liver or heart to eat! But I thought they would be waiting for us! So we go and buy juice to bring with us to share with them, because their water is not the most sanitary, so we always bring soda or juice or something! Well we get there and no one is there, I was slightly relieved, and we turned around to leave right as oscar comes walking up and was like no my wife will be home soon wait. So I thought ok we will wait, emma got home 10min later
and didn't say anything about lunch and didn't start fixing it, oscar left to go wash his face so I told emma not to worry about the food that we were fine, because we had dinner that night and we didn't need to eat, and they are the hardest to convince because oscar was like no give them food, so I told them I had been sick and still wasn't hungry and wanting to eat, which was mostly true, but they still made us food. Not after emma freaks out and was like no I didn't have lunch with you guys, alicia didn't tell me and I saw her today why wouldn't she have told me, plus I signed up for the elders not you all and since the elders aren't here it isn't for you guys, and all these things! Which makes me really sad because they never treated us this way when hermana ladd was here. In fact most the members dont really treat us that great anymore now that ladd is gone! The gamarra and the sampayo are the worst! They always talk about all these wonderful amazing things hermana ladd did... but the funny thing, SHE NEVER DID THEM!! At least the hermana ladd I knew never did, and as amazing as they talk about her, Im surprised she isnt translated yet... because she is better than perfect in their eyes... because well she is like a really good person! And the gamarra used to tell us that whenever we needed lunch
to just come over and they would make us something! Well I guess that is out now! Well they whipped us up something, like a spoonful of rice each, half a fried egg and almost raw lentils with like a whole onion each... it was GROSS!! They dont usually feed us like that! I couldn't eat it all because it was so disgusting! I scarfed what I could down, so did my comp and then we shared a scripture and left quickly, because the whole time they talked about hermana ladd did this and you all don't, and how we should be more like her! I just didn't want to listen to it anymore!! They would talk about how she would always come over and spend her pdays with them all day long even though it was her free day... SHE NEVER DID THAT!!!! I was like fed up! SO still being hungry, we went to ruth and marcelos to complain, we didnt ask for food, because we were just going to go to the gas station to grab something later, but ruth asked if we were still hungry and then left to call marcelo and see if he would bring us some asado he was making for his family,
which he did, and it was SOOOO GOOD!!! Ruth and Marcelo are one of the only ones that dont treat us any differently... I just love them, they are truly amazing!! Also the flia bacarreza and flia campero treat us just the same, the rest are varying degrees of what gamarra are like towards us! We have a lot of trust to gain!! So after being with ruth, we left to go to our other appointments, no one was home so we did some contacts and then caught a bus out to our branch presidents house because she was making us waffles, because she has a waffle maker, I havent hadd waffles since our north carolina trip! So we got out there, and it was AMAZING!! She had maple syrup, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, cut up strawberries, It was like I had died and gone to heavan!! I was so excited, my comp and I scarfed them down, they were the best waffles ever!! We ate a ton!! So while we were eating her father in law comes home, he is here visiting because they are going to bless their new daughter this weekend, and they had to do it this weekend because oh her father in law is an area 70 and could only make it for this weekend! SO he comes in sits down and starts asking us about our investigators and stuff like that! He is really cool but I was so nervous, then he was like well do you have any
investigators close by we could go visit, which we don't and I was like dang no we dont. Then he was like ok well if you would like I could meet you somewhere and come with you on a visit! I had to contain my excitement! I was like yeah actually we have an appointment with romina and richard tomorrow and we want to teach them tithing!! I was wanting to bring a member but I couldn't think of who would be good to invite... well I think he is PERFECT!! I couldn't believe it, he is meeting us tonight and we are going over to teach them, I was so excited I told him all about romina and richard and everything, he seems really interested. I just cant even believe it, I cant wait until tonight!! I mean this guy has a ton of power, he just has the spirit with him, as soon as he walked in yesterday you could just tell he was a man with the spirit! This is going to be awesome! I am a little nervous because Im the sr comp and I have to teach like amazing, pray for me that I do well!! Well That is all my stories, I think this is officially my longest letter EVER I hope you enjoyed all the details I was able to put in, I know I left out a lot... but hey when you only got an hour what can you do?
Welp I love yall, hope all is well... and well THE MISSION IS AMAZING!!
Love ya

9-9-09
Welp this last week has just been another same old week! We walked a lot, taught a few lessons, got stood up, had rain, wind, and sunshine... but to be honest, it has been an amazing week!! Nothing crazy or out of the ordinary happened, but I had a great week! Romina and Richard are going to be getting married, they are just working out when now!! I hope it is sooner than later!!
I'm sorry this letter is really going to be super lame, I have a really cool spiritual experience to tell, and a ridiculously funny story to tell, and that is all!! But if it makes anything better, I will try to send pics!
Ok, so I will tell the funny story first! So last week we spent our pday with the elders of our district at the church eating pizza and playing ping pong, well my comp and I didn't bring regular clothes because we thought they were going to play soccer and my ankle still isn't strong enough for soccer! Well they didn't have a ball so we played ping pong instead! Well the elders decided to play round the world ping pong... which I must say once I warmed up, I was pretty good... I came in second place once!! Well I can't say that so much for my poor comp! The shoes she was wearing are very slippery... I really wish I had a video of what happened, because words just can't even describe!! So we were playing, and she goes up and hits the ball puts the paddle down and goes to run around to the other side, only I'm not sure what happened but she lost her footing and biffed it, but hard... it was so funny to watch because it was like a twirly flip fall... haha the elders say it looked like Michael Jacksons triple spin! HAHA I fell on the ground laughing so hard... the elders went and helped her up... I felt a little bad because I should have helped her up, but I couldn't I was laughing so hard!! So I thought ok that should be enough to teach her that her shoes are all slippery... apparently not! Just ten minutes later she does another fall... but this one was a little scary... she hits the ball puts the paddle down and goes running only slips and goes to do a face plant on the corner of the table!! Luckily she put her hand out to catch herself so her head didn't hit the table, but she missed it by inches, we all were holding our breath until we saw that she was laughing and then we all lost it, I once again had to sit down because of laughing so hard, and the elders once again did my job by helping her up!! HAHA I decided that is was prob best if we left before she ended up breaking anything!! Whenever we see the elders they are always like hey remember that time you biffed it playing ping pong... welp she has her reputation now!!!
Ok now so for the really spiritual experience, well I actually wont write everything about it, but it was really very special. We ate lunch with a member with the elders we are sharing our area with, well after lunch they told us in their study that morning they read a really powerful scripture that talked about blessings and stuff, then they took turns giving each other blessings of comfort that morning, and he said, and well we thought about you guys and wanted to offer a blessing, well my comp and I def jumped at the offer! We walked to the church and went into seperate rooms to pray. After that one of the elders gave me and my companion a blessing, I cant write what was in it, but there were things he said specifically to me that I know there is no way he could know, and also the same for my companions blessing! I started crying realizing how much our Father in Heaven loves us and knows us more completely than we know ourselves! I've never had such a simple more profound blessing... It was so simple but yet so perfectly tailored for me! I'm so geateful to be in this country serving my mission right now, I know there is nothing better I could be doing! I'm so grateful for my Father in Heaven who loves me and for all the wonderful blessings he has given, to name just a very few, my wonderful loving family who is always there to support me... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!
I Love you all more than you know!!

9-2-09 Happy Birthday!!!
Ok so there are like a million birthdays that happen in September, so let me just mention a few of my immediate family and then the rest of my cousins just assume I'm wishing you a happy birthday too! Happy birthday to: Dad, Grandpa, Rachel, Waveney... and then whoever else has a birthday in September... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Ok now that I have that out of the way, I hope everyone is doing great!! This last week has been kind of dull, we did a lot of walking, we had a few exciting moments, like last Saturday morning we were dropping of our clothes to be washed by a member who wasn't home, her neighbor let us in this little hallway and then left, but left the door open so we could leave, well as we were writing a note to the member, the outside door shut... leaving us locked in this hallway until someone came along and let us out... it was pretty funny, we were locked inside for like 15min!!
The elders had a baptism, and well let me just say I did most of the work, I filled the baptism font, I gave a talk, my comp played the piano and said a pray, I led the music, and well the list could go on and on... lets just say I'm like a really good person... haha!! The baptism was alright, almost nobody went, but it was sweet, the next day the guy didn't get to church in time so he will have to be confirmed this week! But we had FIVE investigators at church, it was amazing, I was so excited!! We are working hard to find new people to teach, lets hope we can get some baptisms soon!! Well I'm sure there were other funny and awesome moments, but to be honest I can't think of anything, and I don't have much time!
I hope all of you are doing great!! Keep healthy... and WRITE ME!!
Love

Ok now that I have that out of the way, I hope everyone is doing great!! This last week has been kind of dull, we did a lot of walking, we had a few exciting moments, like last Saturday morning we were dropping of our clothes to be washed by a member who wasn't home, her neighbor let us in this little hallway and then left, but left the door open so we could leave, well as we were writing a note to the member, the outside door shut... leaving us locked in this hallway until someone came along and let us out... it was pretty funny, we were locked inside for like 15min!!
The elders had a baptism, and well let me just say I did most of the work, I filled the baptism font, I gave a talk, my comp played the piano and said a pray, I led the music, and well the list could go on and on... lets just say I'm like a really good person... haha!! The baptism was alright, almost nobody went, but it was sweet, the next day the guy didn't get to church in time so he will have to be confirmed this week! But we had FIVE investigators at church, it was amazing, I was so excited!! We are working hard to find new people to teach, lets hope we can get some baptisms soon!! Well I'm sure there were other funny and awesome moments, but to be honest I can't think of anything, and I don't have much time!
I hope all of you are doing great!! Keep healthy... and WRITE ME!!
Love
