So we had had a really good week lots of lessons with members

​,​

lots of really cool investigators coming out of the woodwork:) (most of the names you won

​'​

t recognize because we found them recently) ones name is

​G​

odson:) So we were super pumped for church to really see if we had worked in a way that was good:)

​A​

nyways so before the church started

​G​

odson came to church. (We found him last Sunday in the computer cafe)

​.​

​H​

​A​

nd then we helped him to class and then during

​our ​

another investigator came!!

​A​

nd after someone was like

​,​

¨

​."​

​S​

o we go outside and I see this really cute girl with red hair and 

​I'm​

​"​

​H​

ola

​"​

and she says 

​"Hi"​

to me and I was like

​ , "Wow you speak English that's so cool!" And she said, "Ya I went to BYU." And in my head I was like "Wow! No Argentine goes to BYU!". Then we were talking to her investigator friends  (helpers in her band but I didn't know that yet) and people kept taking pictures with this girl that has red hair and talks English and I was so confused on why... then she made the motion of playing a violin and everything clicked... and I was like WAIT! Is her name Lindsey?!? and her friend was like, " Yup. STERLING?!?!?" And then I looked at her again and now at this time she was looking at me like I was crazy and I was like HEY LINDSEY!!:) haha and I asked a member to take a pic for us:) 

She had a concert here in Rosario Argentina this weekend and came to sacrament meeting!!!!

​B​

ut really tho my respect for her has now gone through the roof cause she had all the excuses in the book not to come to church.

​S​

he is famous.

​S​

he is in another country

​,​

different time zone.

​S​

he doesn't talk Spanish.

​S​

he had a concert the night before. BUT she still came!! and not only that but she brought two members from her band to come too and she was helping them during the sacrament understand a few things. Really 

​I​

was touched by her example. 

​I​

hope 

​I​

can be as cool as her one day:)

​Jumping around playing the violin included!!

​A​

nd the crazy thing is that my siblings and 

​I​

went to her concert the last Friday of my normal

​T​

essea human life before

Bye Bye Beltran

!HOLA¡ 

Hey hey family!!!! i love you all so much! and this week was a great one and sad at the same time.

Well as you can all tell from the title we had transfers this week. They called and told me that i will be leaving to Parque Urquiza in the city of Rosario!! But I'll talk about my new area in a sec. 

So in Beltran I was loving it! I loved my comp and we were working hard so that the members could see that they really can share their testimonies because we have the truth!! And we were working really hard so that we could have more lessons with members. It was really fun working with Hermana Egbert. I learned a lot from her and I learned a lot about how to be a missionary from her and really everyday I felt like we made a little bit more of a difference in the world:) We could really see the members changing! One young women told us that she explained the plan of salvation to a friend and that the friend now wants to listen to the missionaries! And then another lady was telling us how she gave a friend a liahona:) really the hearts of the members changed! In the beginning it was really hard to get a member to come out with us and it was hard in general but I feel good knowing that Beltran is better now then it was when I got there:) and I give all the credit to the Lord and hard work cause what I am finding out as a missionaries our job with members is to help them feel the spirit of how fun it is to share your testimony! We are like little energizer bunnies! 

But I really will miss Beltran. I wont miss the house and bathing myself with a bucket every morning cause we don't have water pressure hehe but I learned a lot there and I'm excited to put in practice what I learned there in my new area here in the city with a ward!!!AHH!!

Ok so little recap of my mission. so I started off in Sunchales-- a tiny branch of 17 people. Then I went to Beltran a bigger branch of about 55 people when I left and now I'm here in Parque Urquiza with a ward!! It's been kinda fun to go from big to little and I,m really excited to work here in the city It's new but I'm not going to lie the thing I' most excited about is that there are no more dogs:) YAY!!!! I don't know why but dogs just think it's funny to bite, chase, and bark at me... but now that's not a problem:) 

My new comp is hermana..... SPENCER!! cool huh?

She is awesome and is from California and I'll send a pic of her next week:) Stay Tuned!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!! and I miss you all!! Keep reading the scriptures EVERYDAY!!

Soy Tomate

!HOLA¡

So to explain this pic one morning we had some set appointments so we left the house to go work but everyone wasn't home and all the less activates weren't home and everyone wasn't home so we literally walked around in the sun for 4 hours haha I've never been so red!! So that's the pic:)

Also our land lady is really cute and they came to our house this week to see if we needed anything and they helped us fix somethings and then they told us to sit down while they cleaned our stove. They wanted to do service for the missionaries:) I will admit it was kinda awkward sitting there as an old lady cleaned our stove but it was good cause we got to know her better. 

I LOVE YOU ALL SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!
