Official Argentinian Missionary

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ARGENTINA!!!!!

OK! I´m officially a missionary here! My companions name is Hermana D and she is from Honduras! She served for six months in her country waiting for a visa, and last transfer was her first full transfer here! So we are learning the ropes of this mission together. She is so great! We have lots of fun together already playing charades everyday. (They play charades because Heidi's companion doesn't speak English) I´m in Huergo! And yes, it took me forever to learn how to say that. We´re starting a new zone here, breaking off from the roca zone! Peace out roca! See you later! It´s lots of fun! This transfer the mission is opening a ton of new districts and new zones, some even brand brand brand new, with no church or members or nothin! So pray for those missionaries to be ok!
We got in our area on Friday.  Before that, we were celebrating the new years and then hanging out with President and his wife! It was so great! we finally got our mission training and we had a blast eating facturas (yummy yummy things...like a very sweet crescent with filling and powdered sugar). And I got to spend the night in a hotel! Whoo! I was a little nervous at first, but it was AMAZING! And it had free breakfast whoohoo!
In the training with president, one thing that he talked about really stood out to me: We are all a son or daughter of God. Nothing can change that. And nothing can take that away. Every decision that we make here on earth either helps reveal this true identity or hides it. Don´t hide who you are! Make a decision every day to bring you closer to your Father, and brings you a greater knowledge of who you were before. I just loved that. So in this New Year, I hope you all have a goal to do things to help reveal your identity as a child of God. I know that as you do so you will find even greater happiness this year. Love you all!
