Maybe It's Emily

BBAAAHHH !!! I'm here!!! And still getting used to the keyboard! This week has been interesting. A)I can't speak Spanish ! B) I have really bad allergies right now so I can't really hear anyone, let alone people speaking Spanish so I can try to understand them! C) Well, yeah. That's probably as bad as it gets. I can, though, do some contacts in the street. I did several yesterday with my companion. With my companion of course. The flights took about 24 hrs total to get to Neuquén , with all the delays and everything. Muy largo, no? But meh , it didn't really bother me all that much. And can I just say, I LOVE FLYING!!!! Our Elder Johnson was so right. Anyway, my mission president and his wife met me at the airport at around 8 Argentina time (we are 4 hrs ahead of mountain standard time), ate my first empeñadas , then went to bed. And it was so nice getting to Argentina because it's all nice and humid here! Me encanta (I love it)!!!!!! It's still summer he...

I don't even know how to spell Wisconsin, let alone even go there! Way too cold for me :) I assume many of you heard about my crazy visa situation. But first let me tell you a little bit of what's been going on here en la CCM (MTC). After my district left (my first district) I was companions with the two sisters that were left going stateside, who were leaving in two days. Everybody thought I would only be here for maybe an extra day or two. They were a good two days, I love Hna. Harris and Hna. Squires! But then those two left, and I was put in another district, our district A. Let me explain district A: Nuts!!! But I love those elders, they are probably my most favorite out of the entire MTC! The only reason I can't say they're my absolute favorite is because they're tied with the elders from my district B. Anyway, after my two hermanas left I was the only sister in the Zone, and put in a district who have never had hermanas. But I gotta say, the members they'...

Hi all - Emily's Mom here. I just got a phone call from my stake president. He was contacted by a mission president in Minneapolis who had been contacted by Emily's mission president in Argentina. He was told that until Emily's visa comes through, she will be sent to Minneapolis to start getting her missionary experiences. So she will be leaving the MTC on Monday. I'm waiting for Emily to call me with her big news. Now how do I pretend not to already know? Hmmmmm!

Okay, I'm really not that lonely. The elders I'm with love to sing me that song just to rub it in a little, because alas, I'm still the only Sister in my zone, the only spanish speaker left in my building (the dorms), and no tengo un companera! What is the world coming to??? So yes, I'm still here in the MTC, good ol' Provo. Don't think I'm complaining though. I'm not. I'm actually really okay with it, because I know the Lord doesn't just do things willy nilly. He always has a purpose. I'm still trying to find the purpose, the reason why I'm here, but I know there's one, and the Lord wants me to fulfill it. The district of Elders that I'm with are all leaving Tuesday and Wednesday for the field. They think it would be all sorts of hilarious if I left after they did. Watch me laugh. haha. wow. I feel the enthusiasm. No, in all seriousness, they don't REALLY want me to be stuck here longer, but they're trying to have a good ...

Yes! I've been delayed! For right now it's been an extra four days and they still don't know when I'll get my visa. Everyone in my district left, so now I'm officially declared a solo sister, moved into another district in my zone, and in with three portuguese speaking sisters. I've been hearing the song "lonely, I'm still lonely, ain't got nobody to call my OOOWWWNNN!!!" a lot. Hmmm. But it's not so bad. My attitude has changed around a lot since I last emailed you. That day just stunk hardcore. That was the day I found out about my delay. When they called me into the travel office that night I knew it was coming, why else would they really want me? When I officially heard the news I was like "Oh man, I'm going to bust out crying!" But I was okay. I actually laughing about it. Okay, maybe it was more the laugh of an exhausted person after a ridiculous day, but still, it's better than crying. I gave up on trying to control...
