Maybe It's Emily

Anyway, I don't have an accent? That's cool. I've got a talent for accents, so it makes sense that I haven't developed one. I haven't spoken English at all for the past 3 months, and I'm going to end that way. My companion and I are both from the U.S. but we're going to be speaking Spanish the entire time until I go. I promise, I'm speaking Spanish the entire time! I didn't get to tell anyone, but the other day a man we were talking to asked us our names, and Hna. Bundy said hers, and I said mine, and he said "She's from here, you can hear it in her voice." And then asking Hna. Bundy, "Where are you from?" TRIUMPH!!! Hna. Bundy is amazing. She's great. She works in a way that I never have in my mission, and we're seeing so much more success. At times I find it demotivating the lack of progress the ward has made since I've been here. It really bums me out. But Hna. Bundy told me that her goal is to help me see the f...

Letter dated May 2nd: Tomorrow is Día de Bariloche and yesterday was Día del Trabajador (like Labor day). Feriados all over the place! First things first. I'm sorry for not writing last week. I was so caught up in trying to leave instructions for registration that I wasted all my time. I got permission today from president to do registration, so I'll go ahead and do it at a later time. Once again I'm really sorry, it was a lack of responsibility and care on my part. Also Mother's day is the 8th so I can call home! I will be calling around the same time that I called last year so be aware! It'll be about 20:00 here, so I think that it would be about 17:00 there. Fa, I think. Wait - that's this Sunday! WOW MOM! Thirdly, today is transfers. I was not transferred. I get the immense pleasure of staying in Barioche 'till the end. But sadly Hna. Sancé is being sent to Neuquén. Mi refuerza me deja! She's leaving me! I'm really excited because she gets to pro...

Letter dated April 18th: I'm not going to lie, everything about today has been a surprise! BARRETT WENT TO PROM! AND I MISSED IT!!!! He's like my young little adult! I freaked out and showed the pictures to my companion. By the way, what's a smartphone? The article about the sister from Puerto Madryn (April Ensign) is from another ward over there. I never knew her, but that's so cool!!! I'm kind of freaking out about everything. Don't make me trunky!!! ;) First thing, DON'T GIVE ME MORE MONEY. I'll be spending the least amount possible. I don't want to take out a loan. I would much rather do any menial labor to earn money, or even just do online classes before taking out a loan. Please tell Daddy to please do my registration quick. If needs be, please make Barrett do it. Or Adam. If we wait I will not be able to get into the classes that I need to. He he, don't tell Elder Chivers, but my Hna. Smith would be perfect for him. She's about the sa...
