Maybe It's Emily

Alright, the pictures - Hna. Sancé, the day I went to go look for her in Neuquén (the elders aren't my zone leaders. The one next to Hna. Sancé is Elder Isidro from Peru. He was in my zone for a long time in Zapala [Which I found out means "swamp" in mapuche]), and Itziar's baptism. Hooray! This week has been really good. We've been working really hard and we made our numbers better. Not perfect, but better. We finally had ward council and we're going to be doing a marvelous work and a wonder with our members. They assigned me the talk the week after fast and testimony Sunday because they know that I'm going to tell the members exactly what's going on. It's not just us who feel it, but the bishopric too. They recognize that something is going on too. We (us and the ward leaders) have been having problems with ward participation in everything, and they know that Hna. Georgeson won't have any gaul letting them know what they're doing to rece...

Well. This week has been difficult. We've been trying to work but I guess not hard enough. We got nothing moving forward in the work. Elder Aidukaitis focused on how us as a mission to see miracles, true conversion, and baptisms every week. He layed it into us good and hard. Which makes the results of this past week a lot harder to take. One good thing: Itziar was baptized! Itziar is Ayrton's little sister. Hooray! It was a crazy baptism. The brother who baptized is an ex-boxer, and I don't care what he says, he's got a little bit of damage on the brain. We wrote him the prayer so that he could memorize it, but it took him four times to get it right. The other Hermanos were getting a little frustrated. And we made him practice the movements of dunking her, but that came out kind of funny too. The most important part... She was baptized. Afterward I asked her how she felt. "Different. And clean!" And yesterday when she was confirmed I asked her the same questio...

Hooray! Bueno , my companion and I are not going to get chocolates or flowers, but tomorrow marks my year of being outside of the U.S.. I've been in Argentina that long! Whoa!!!! I bet you're all wondering about my new companion. Hna . Sancé from Guatemala. I'm training a Latin ! It's because I'm so cool! (yeah, right (: ) And humble too. We've had a rocky few days, but we're hanging on, in some miraculous manner. She's sweet and quiet. And she's going to cook a food from Guatemala today that's called Creamed Chicken. Yum! I like it already! Ha ha , just kidding! This week we have zone conference with Elder Aidukaitis . In all seriousness, he's coming! I'm going to know all of the presidency from The South America Area. But the conference is going to be way different. He let it out on our zone leaders and rebuked them for their lack of faith, planning and goal making. He told them there's nothing in our way if we open our mouths and ...

Tell Adam thanks. That really means a lot to me. More so since I have felt something different these few days. A peace and calm. We have transfers today. Hna. Dennison is leaving and I'm training. When President first told me about two transfers ago I freaked out. I did not want to train! I'm so not cut out for the job! But with something that President told me in our interviews has helped me to change my point of view a lot. He said "The Lord wants you to know how much He trusts you." Although I'm still a little stressed out because I'm companionless until Thursday, I'm okay with training. I'm okay. I think that's a miracle. So tell Adam thank you. Don't worry, just because I'm okay doesn't mean I'll let my guard down and be a lazy trainer. I have no idea of who she is. If she's white, Latin, what her name is - I don't know. My district leader said that he doesn't know either, so I'll find out everything on Thursday...
