¡¡Hola mi querido Familia!!
¡¡Hola mi querido Familia!!
I´m glad to know that everything´s going well at home. Sorry about the pictures not working out. If I have time today I´ll try to do something about that.
As for this week we had interviews with Pte. Heyman today and he told us all about our new Pte. and his wife. They seem really amazing, and I´m excited to be able to work with them when that time comes around. My interview was really short. Everyone was shocked about how fast it was, they ended up asking what was up. But it felt good, like really that was all that was needed. He asked me how I was feeling, shared a little about the Book of Mormon and had me share my testimony about it with him. Then, I don´t know entierly why, but I told him about the story of Mike and Marci and how I decided to be a missionary. And then we were done. The end. See ya at Consejo next monday. By the way I have consejo next Monday. I love having our interviews with President Heyman. Hermana Allred and I talk a ton about how much we love President and Hermana Heyman.
Van.... and Lic... and the family didn´t come to church this week. Vane got an insane head ache and had to run to the hospital to get it checked on. They´re coming for sure the next few saturdays cause we told them that to be able to be baptized all together like they want as a family they have to come si o si. We have a lesson with them today, and we´re watching the Joseph Smith movie with them.
Yesterday was also Hermana Allred´s birthday! That was tons of fun. We coloured all day in Primary in her honor, and I was totally fine with that.
Spreaking of:
Que los cumplas feliz! Que los cumplas feliz! Que los cumplas SABRINA!!! Que los cumplas Feliz!!!
sorry if I spelled that wrong, chances are that I did, but it doesn´t matter. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SABRINA! Love ya.
Love you all too! Thanks for the pictures, and the emails. they´re the best. And I´m glad everyone´s happy. Have fun with your new fishing boat dad! Mom I´ll work on that talk. Have the best week of your entire lives! We have reason to rejoice, we know the truth, and we should be happy about it. Help others want to know Christ because they know you.

Howdy!
Howdy! I said that to one of my Argentine friends one day and she got so lost.
So this week has gone by so fast in comparison to last week! But we've all been starving for a P day. Elder Fiabane was singing to us on the phone last night ¨mañana es P-day, mañana es P-day¨ we've basically been playing the what´s tomorrow? which means the next day is . . . game all week. We've had a hard time finding new people this week, which is funny cause Hermana Allred and I both feel like we´ve improved so much and are the best quality of missionaries that we've been so far on the mission and we've had the hardest time finding people to teach cause no one really wants to listen. Yesterday was a good day though. We decided that we were going to choose certain sections of our area and turn them inside out. We didn´t pass one block with out clapping at at least one house. We found a few people and we have a return appointment with one of them today. Later that night we had to come up closer to the Plaza due to menos de luz, and we found a lady who the Elders had talked to about a month ago, and had recently moved into our area. She said that she felt bad for not paying a ton of attention to them when they were there cause she was working, but she wants to listen to us so we´ll see how that goes.
Our gators Van... and Lic... (daughter, mother) Finally came to church yesterday! When Hermana Allred and Healey found them. Their friend had died in a motorcycle accident and the next week someone else close to them passed away, crappy stuff just kept happening, they were all sad and Lic... said that she would never come to church, and guess where she was yesterday! They've changed so much! Van... gave up smoking and going to the club on Saturday nights. Surprise to us, since yesterday was fast Sunday, and Van...´s first time ever, we taught them about tithing and fast offerings, she gave fast offerings!! They are Amazing! They have a date for the 25th of this month. Now we just need Luc... to get out of bed so she can come to church with her mom and sister so she can be baptized with her family. :)
We got to hold a baby owl this week!
Congrats to so many people this week!! Dad and Mom, 24 years!! Jessie and Randy: Ashton is adorable! Looks like he´s definitely a Cooper! And Randy, congrats on your baptism! That´s great. You´ll have to send me pictures.
Love you all!!
Have the best week ever!

Happy New Year.....
The power has gone off twice already while I´ve been emailing and all I´ve been doing is trying to load some pictures on to send them to you. We can´t get it to work, I´m sorry. I´ll send some next week, I will try very hard to do so anyway.
It was so nice to be able to see you all! Grandma, I´m sorry I couldn't wait to talk to you at dinner, I wish I would've been able to. As our porteño Elder Fiabane would say it would be ¨legit.¨ You´re all amazing and I love you all so much.
We had a great Christmas. It was hot and snowless, but we had a good one. Spent lunch with the Flía Sayas which was amazing and we couldn't eat it all. Pizza Empanadas and surprisingly good chicken. then on to the Duartes to talk to my amazing family, We had dinner with them the night before, that was also really really good. They don´t get too excited about it until the day of, the people down here, and if they decorate it looks like someone in the states who was too lazy to take it down from the year before.
Work this week has been tough, yesterday was an adventure and a half and Hermana Allred and I had the most awkward of moments SO MANY TIMES! they just kept coming. We walked for at least three hours strait looking for new people because all of our investigators were dropped or had dropped us the week before. Dogs almost ate us, people opened their doors right before we clapped/knocked, some guy talked our ears off about nothing important, we got rejected by a 10 year old, and chased by a cloud of these crazy huge bugs.
So this country is really fun. We had a power outage in the middle of our writing, and we don´t get a ton of time to do anything cause of the stupid ciesta and the freakin heat. We've been a little on edge with Argentina these days. Especially on p-day, we look forward to it so much cause we get to write and hear from everyone, but it ends up being so stressful cause EVERYONE IS CLOSED FROM 1-6! This would never happen in the states.
Well, I wany to tell Aunt Laura, Aunt Karol, Shelby Jorgensen, Taner Spalding, and Trevor Carter a Happy Birthday.
Love you all and I´ll have to tell ya´ll more about what´s going on later. Keep Safe, pretty please.
I´m excited to hear from you all again next week.
