HOLA!!!!
Wow we had a fantabulous week! Started off with an awesome
noche de hogar with menos activos and investigators yes yes yes!!!! And a great
day doing divisions with the hermanas lideres! They came and helped us with our
area, which was perfect because we had soooo many citas! So we got to visit all
the people that we wanted to, Hermana Strickler didn´t get too lost without me
whoohoo and we had a great time learning from Hermana Garcia and Hermana
Ashcroft. They are such great leaders examples I´m so grateful that we got to
learn from them. Then Easter Sunday
Whoohoo! We had attendance of 43! Second time in one transfer YAY! A high
councilman from the stake came and told us that if we get attendance up to 60
for 6 months, we can get the funds for our own capilla here!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!
It´s totally do-able and it´s totally going to happen! We are seeing so many
changes of hearts here in little Huergo. The Lord really is hastening His work.
It is such an incredible opportunity to be a part of this work and be a witness
to all the miracles of the Lord.
Hermana Strickler and I are just as good as ever! We love
being companions and we´re always pushing one another to try a little harder to
be a little better. We have been saying positive affirmations this week and
trying to stop any negative thoughts and it´s really helped us be happier and
more faith-full as we say faith promoting sentences about all of our
investigators.
Story time! Hermana Strickler and I learned that we both
talk in our sleep now. We just have full on conversations until one of wakes up
and tells the other to go back to sleep. We are very tired in the morning.
Argentina is making me crazy! But it´s all good.
We had a great fireside last night about the work of
salvation! It was awesome, investigators and menos activos and activos came! We
talked about how this is the work of the Lord, but He needs OUR help! This
church is true, but we need to be true to Him.
As we friendship the new people in our wards, we are friendshipping the
Lord. And when we meet Him in the end, ¨¨we will be surprised by how familiar
His face is¨ I just love that. Hope you
all had a happy happy easter and took the time to remember the resurrected
Savior. With the second witness of the Book of Mormon along with the Bible, we
cannot doubt of the truth that He lives! And He loves us.
Hope you all have a great week! Hasta la proxima semana!

Well this would have been quite an exiciting week. We were
just starting to plan the details of our baptism for this Saturday when our
investigator told us that she doesn´t feel ready and wants to wait till summer
time so she can get baptized in the river. Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!! It was a very
sad day for us. But we are working hard to help her continue learning about the
gospel and quit smoking. And we just started teaching her daughter too so
hopefully they can get baptized together later! And maybe that´s why she had to
wait. She didn´t come to church this week, but one of our less actives that I
love so much finally did! There´s always a tender mercy to help with the pains
in life. Ah it was so great to see her and when I talked to her she was saying
that she wants her whole family to come back! We´re going to visit them this
week I´m so excited! We are working hard to help our other investigators be
prepared for their upcoming dates as well. It´s a lot of craziness but every
high moment with the spirit tan fuerte is worth all of the lows moments.
Hermana Strickler and I continue to learn and grow lots
together! I feel that our strengths really complement each other. We are
consciously trying to improve ourselves every day and draw closer to the Lord,
and we have lots of fun as we do it too!
And I am great! Just doing my best to not let anyone fall
through the cracks! We lost a lot of lessons with the rain last week but we are
pumped and ready to go this week!
here´s some pics for you to enjoy: our branch bus going to
general conference, one of the streets as they tried to drain the water. It
took about three days to drain the streets! and an empty soccer field that is
now a mini lake haha
Hope you all have a great Easter week!!!! We´ve eaten lots
of fish this week (aren´t you so proud momma?) but its been surprisingly
good. I love this time of year where we
can celebrate the resurrection of Christ. It´s just like Christmas!!!!! We may
or may not be singing Christmas songs to celebrate haha but i love it! I know
that Christ is our Savior and I am so grateful that He lived and died for us.
In all the fun of this joyous holiday, please don´t forget the true meaning
behind it. How can you show Christ gratitude this week?
Don´t forget to look for those tender mercies this week! The
Lord´s hand is revealed every day in our lives.
