Ok I'm going to start off this email by letting everyone know that my pday next week
will be on TUESDAY!! Not wednesday, we have transfers next week I'm nervous to find out if I stay, or go, or who will be my next comp! I'm actually hoping to get a latin comp, my spanish is getting worse talking english all the time, so I'm hoping for a latin so I can go back to spanish 100% of the time!! Pray for me!!
Ok lots of things happened this last week, before I talk about those though I wanted to mention something I forgot last week, When we went to the temple I was looking at the name of the person I had, I was noticing it was an english name so I showed my comp, as soon as I did that I realized not only was it an english name, the girl was from KENTUCKY!!! I kid you not, all the way here in buenos aires argentina I did the work for someone from kentucky, I felt very honored to have that priviledge!! Her name is Jennie Mae Holbrook, she was born on may 11th 1817!! I was so excited the whole session about it!!!
Ok so that was cool, oh and last week for district meeting we went and did contacts with the elders, we were walking and talking, and well my old luck came back... I totally biffed it in front of the elders... slightly embarrasing, but I just jumped up and acted like nothing happened. well I scraped up my knee pretty bad and got blood all over my skirt, but don't worry the elders didn't notice!!
Oh and well according to my comp I'm starting to attract admirers here! It all started when we went to a supermarket to buy a milk or something, well apparently the cashier guy was making googly eyes at me, I didn't notice it, all I noticed was he was annoying me with how slow he did everything!! hAHA she still mentions it all the time! Well then it didn't help that we went to buy somethings in liniers last week, and I was looking a tennis shoes because mine are pretty trashed, and the ones in liniers look like the real thing, but aren't so they are wicked cheap! well the guy that helped us find shoes, well he was definitly trying to flirt hard core with me, like tying my shoes for me and everything, slightly awkward! Whatever he gave me a good deal on the shoes, maybe I should have flirted to get a better deal, but well I think Ive forgotten how to flirt!
Well the next day we had to go exchanged the shoes cause the ones I bought were a little too small, well he exchanged them for me no problem, and as we were leaving he said ciao linda, for those of you don't know what that means, he said bye pretty girl! It made me feel awkward, and I just hope I never have to go to that store again!! But now my comp and all the members are making fun of my for it!!
Something really cool happened after that really awkward moment though, I was looking for some basketball shorts to wear at night because it is getting hot now,so we went to this one store and there was only one worker, she was helping us find what we wanted, and while I was trying the stuff on she started talking to my comp asking her if we were part of a church or something, so my comp tried to tell her what we were, and I was listening but not getting my hopes up, everyone that works in liniers lives far away, well she then asked well do you have anything to read, I want to learn more! I couldn't believe my ears, I got dressed really quickly and came out and started talking to her, and come to find out she lives just a few blocks away from there!! She is amazing! We have taught her once, and I can just sense such a desire from her to learn more! Pray for her please, her name
is Patricia! Also we have a few others, but I don't have time to really mention their stories, but their names are Alejandro, and Maria Adriana, remember them in your prayers please!!
Welp I gotta run, but thanks so much for your prayers, the work is starting to move along here in tonelero finally!!

Love you all
