February 4, 2019- 76 weeks down, 1 to go

Hellllo my family!
ITS FEBRUARY 4TH! OF 2019! That means.....
I’M COMING HOME NEXT WEEK!!!!!
But whose counting anyways?
Chiste.... I cant believe it.

This last week was a week of MIRACLES. I am so grateful and have never been so happy. 
Wednesday, after that last week of crap and hardly being able to work, we went and visited a contact we had made 2 weeks back, a menos activa. We clapped, and her husband came running out. He was waiting for us!! He let us in (which never happens) and they both sat down at the table, gave us food and drinks, and we were able to get to know them and start to share our message!! It was a miracle... Seriously... i have worked so hard in this area, and almost nothing. But this, was a miracle. Vanessa and Ariel. Vanessa is a MA almost her whole life, is from Rosario, but remembers a lot about the missionaries. Ariel is in the air force, is militar, and a BOSSSSS. He loves to talk and loves to listen about what we are sharing…he's never been to the church nor heard missionaries. So after that first lesson, they invited us back Friday for a DINNER and lesson. WHAT. We don’t ever have dinner with members!!!!! 
SO we went, and it was great. Now it seems that Ariel is more interested than Vanessa (she’s afraid to go back to church, doesn’t want to) but we read together the intro of the BOM, and they had read Moroni 10 together the night before!! and liked it! Ariel committed to come to church this Sunday..
and----
HE CAME!!!!! Sunday morning we were walking towards his church and we called him and he said he was coming. And sure enough he arrived early, in his car, all dressed up, with his book of mormon in hand! I think me and my comp almost died from happiness. DO you know how hard it is to get new investigatores to want to come to church????
HE LOVED IT: Super focused during the testimony meeting, and during Sunday School he was in love with it all, said it was so distinct fro the catholic church and that it made sense.He took pics of the notes of the plan of salvation too and we marked him some scriptures. We have a lesson Wednesday with a family from the ward. MIRACLES MIRACLES MIRACLES.

Also... we have been practicing receiving revelation with my comp. Last week, we prayed a lot and felt like we would find someone that had passed through afflictions recently and would see us as a sign. We also felt like the word {water} had something to do with them.
So we searched for a week (until this last Thursday) but never found anyone. This Thursday.... we were contacting in a new place where i hadn’t gone before. We had just about finished and were walking back to the bus stop to head to Centro for a visita to the hermanas there... when a woman walks by to her car, outside her house, carrying a tank of water. So we stopped, and started to talk to her. we shared a little, and asked how long she has lived here. she said, 4 days. This Monday i separated from my husband and i just moved here Monday with my two kids... and she started to cry!!! We were shocked, so we both hugged her (which is kinda weird in Argentina but oh well) and we testified to her. My comp had passed through something similar with her fam and so she shared with her, Christina. Christina said she has never heard of missionaries before, but “”sometimes god sends us signs to us to help us”. I almost died.... SHE’S THE PERSON FROM OUR REVELATION! WE FOUND HER! She fit the revelation exactly ....water, signal, and recent affliction. It was ANOTHER MIRACLE: we have a lesson with her tomorrow for the first time, pray for us!!!!

I’m so happy to FINALLLLY after 6 long months here, start to find all the chosen people. The people that God needs us to find. even though I won’t finish my mission with a baptism, it’s ok, because I found the people that God needed me to find before i finished my time as a missionary. I’m so happy. So happy. 
But i still got 4 days of work to do... beforeIi pack and head to Rawson to say goodbye to my converts and fav members there. I’ll go Saturday afternoon, its only 5 hours by bus., and give my last testimony Sunday and have lunch with Guillermina (i called her last night ahhhhhhh she recognized me before i even said my name) and then head back to Comodoro to finish packing, Monday my final interview and p-day and dinner and GOODBYE!
Thats it!
Thats my week!
Can you believe it?
Last night I got real sad and cried a lot to my comp, she helped me out and made me feel better. Then i started calling Guillermina to tell her I’d be in Rawson, and then i called Hermana Barbara (we baptized her son Maxi in playa union).. she answers... and when I say who I am she just starts shouting a bunch out of happiness..... SHE’S IN UTAH! She moved and was sealed to her husband 3 weeks ago!!!! in Vernal!!!!!! She passed me her new info and we have plans to get together in the beginning of March when i go up there! I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!!! I’m going to see my converses in UTAHHHHH and they LIVE THEREEEEEEEEEEEE ! That made me so happy so I wasn’t even sad anymore afterwards. 
We had our last divisions with the hnas on Friday , the hnas from las heras. super fun, we worked and studied and cooked for lunch and really enjoyed the divisions. 
Thursday morning we had a  call from Presidente for all the mission, by Skype…never done anything like that before. It was about all the stuff that had been going on of disobedience and the missionaries that went home. He almost cried. It was a great call, we learned a lot and everyone got super motivated to do their best and be obedient and it was fantastic. 
But yeah... a lot more happened this week but that was the best of it

i love you guys my sweet family... you guys are amazing

Thank you for all of your support that you have given me in these last 18 months. Its been a rollercoaster of an adventure, and I’m sure will continue to be like that for a while, as I leave my favorite place on earth, and come home. It will be very hard, it already is, but it will be so neat, so amazing to see you all again and be part of the Real Life again!

I love you. Mom and dad, see you in 7 days. Kiddos, see you in 9. I love you!!!

Hermana Amy Holt

January 29, 2019- 75 weeks down, 2 to go
Hey guys...Buenas tardes!!
Whats up?

Sorry I’m writing you all in the same email...my brain just doesn’t have the energy to write a ton of emails this week haha...its been a long 8 days since I’ve talked to you and theres a lot thats gone down
Nothing bad with me, but man the mission is in flames this week, not in a good way.

So Tuesday we went super early to Caleta for divisiones with the hermanas there, that went well. But I was pooped because now my body is super tired all the time haha, but it went well. Super hot outside, walked a ton, but we found one super awesome lady thats family is member but she’s not!
Wednesday we went back to Comodoro and had meeting and lunch and then we were so tired we asked permission to take a nap from presidente. he said yes, so we set the alarm for an hour and slept in the afternoon. We were so tired, that we never heard the alarm and slept until almost 8 pm in the evening.....YIKES hahaha its funny now but in the moment it was like WHAT HAVE WE DONE. hahahha oh well. 
Thursday was the only normalish day of this week. A normal work day YAYAYA few and far between (is that how the phrase goes?) studies, lunch, and we went to find a bunch of menos activo families and some futuro investigadores. We taught Belen and her family, but only the father is progressing (well, was progressing...wait til i tell you about Sunday)
Thursday night I went to Centro to start MORE divisions with the hnas there.(hnas that don’t really like me too much). Friday we had the divisions but i woke up with a real sore throat, and felt super off all morning. after lunch i was dying and we finished the divisions early and I went back to my house with my comp and slept. (but even until today i still have a super super sore throat and cough). 
Saturday
oh Saturday
yikes
We thought we would have a normal day. started off good, planned, started to study, then we get a message on my phone from presidente
pres: hermana holt
me: yes...
Pres: do you have lunch
me: .........
me: a take out lunch, why
pres: I’m going to call you rn
WHAT
So he calls and we are already stressin
Turns out that there are some emergency transfers and people going home , and one hermana that was in the North arrived to Comodoro that morning for emergency interviews and had to stay with us. We had to watch her, she can’t use the phone, no one could know why she was there, we had to bring and take her fom interviews and meetings all weekend....we knew why she was there and I don’t dare say why. It’s horrible. And she’s a sweet little new missionary with only 7 months that I know well. So we passed Saturday with her and interviews, Sunday we had to take her to another ward so that she would see the other missionary that had arrived that was involved and going home, Sunday picked her up and helped her pack, then interviews from 8pm to 12 30am at night with all the leaders of the mission. With us there waiting and organizing. 
Monday another interview and this morning at 730am she had her flight home.
It was insane and hard. We had to help out with all of this because we are the hermanas capacitadoras de Comodoro. I’ve never had to deal with something like this before, and hope to not have to do it again, but its possible this week that more will go.... we haven’t taught an investigator since Friday. It’s been rough, but I’m surprisingly calm and not stressed.
When you are in the pension a lot, it’s hard to keep focused in the mission and not on home...but my mind kept wandering back to the fact that i have like 13 days more as a missionary here... I can’t believe it. at all.

Other than that and still being a little sick,. I’m good. Yesterday was a mini pday and today too for us, because we have been up so late and up so early dealing with all this, we get 2 mini pdays yeay!!!!!

haha but yeah. All is well. this week we should be able to work a bit i hope.
We have a cita with Manuel tomorrow. its been 2 weeks since we stopped teaching him, and he still comes to church, so we want to see where he’s at spiritually and with baptism.
Sunday oh yeah.. we went to Belen’s house to walk with the family to church like we had arranged all week long. We get there all the way up the hill, pass the dog that almost killed me, and get in front of the door and can hear their voices. I yell BUEN DIA and clap, and they all shush each other and no one moves.... what the heck... so we knocked louder and everything and...nothing. We can literally hear them inside and we call and hear their phone, but they don’t come out. we waited, and nothing. Super horrible. So we left, with metal poles in hand to get the dog off, and walk the 30 minutes to church. Super sad. i think they are done. sooo nowww... we’ve got no one.

But that was my week...
Thank you for all your sweet emails, i read them all. I’m glad you are all safe and sound and happy and everything. You are my light and i love and miss each one of you so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 21, 2019


January 21 2019- 74 weeks down, 3 to go

Hi Mom! How are you all doing?
Wow the days are so long and full, but the weeks fly! It’s already Monday again? 
Well this week was pretty uninteresting until the weekend. We had to prepare everything for the Conferencia with Presidente (buying the food, getting the money, organizing, cooking, running the FHE activity, the conference itself..) all of it! But the Conferencia was amazing. My last zone conference...so you know what that means... Ultimo Testimonio! (Last Testimony)! At the end of the conference, those that go home that transfer stand up and have to give their last testimony in front of everyone. 3 of my friends gave theirs, then I went last. It was sad and I teared up, but I was able to talk a lot and bear testimony about a lot of things that had impacted my during my mission. It was a special moment. Super trippy, I never thought my time would arrive. Had to say goodbye to a few more friends, which was real hard as always. But onward and upward! Part of life. But I really enjoyed the spirit of revelation that we felt during the Conference. Presidente is amazing. And we got to do a real fun activity that we had done in my very first conference in the mission, so it was real special. Im so grateful.,
Thursday we go to work, but we aren’t having a lot of success at all. The area is worrying me. We had to leave Manuel this week. We invited him to be baptized and he said no. So we explained we couldn’t keep teaching him. It was real hard... but the miracle was that...on Sunday... HE CAME TO CHURCH ALL THE SAME! We hadn't communicated with him since Tuesday, cause we were going to give him a few weeks before we tried again, but he showed up at the church! I was a little surprised but happy...there is potential still for him!
Friday we had interviews with Presidente, so that took up a lot of the day. I love talking with him. He just asked me what I needed to be able to finish these last 3 weeks. We chatted and he helped me a lot! I love him!
Saturday and Sunday.... as a district, we had some absolutely amazing spiritual experiences that I have never had before in my mission. A little too special to tell about over email. It was an amazing experience, and we were spiritually drained after. Long story short, we started the process and had a family home evening with him and his family and 7 missionaries last night, that went super well. 

I feel good, have a lot more energy this week cause Presidente recommended me a type of vitamin pill drink to help me push through these last 3 tiring weeks. It’s helping!
I'm happy and tranquilo, not thinking about home, and just trying to do what i can and be happy and enjoy these last few days as a missionary.

I love the Obra Misional. Im so grateful to be a missionary here in the Patagonia in Argentina in this moment of my life . I have learned so much, grown so much, been able to talk and learn from so many people, and been able to witness the Hand of the Lord in my life so many times i cant even count. I Love this work. I love to be a missionary, and i don’t want to leave. It will be one of the hardest things i will have to do to step on that plane  and leave this mission. Almost as hard as it was to step on the plan to leave my home in California. But I am also excited for the adventures that await me. For now, Im taking it day by day, doing what i can to lead more people unto Christ while i can

i love you all so much!

January 14, 2019- 73 weeks down, 4 to go
Hi mom! Buen dia!
How are you?
Love all the pictures and emails that I received today! You guys are the best.
I loved hearing all about your YW lesson, the temple trip, Brandons sweet experience, everything! You are seriously amazing and super funny too!

This week was so so long but at the same time it just flew by for me. Crazy how the time is passing.
This week was a little more frustrating, but right now i feel alright, still happy and just accepting what i can and cannot do!
We had divisions this Tuesdsay, i went with a brand new missionary Hermana Bogado. She’s a doll and it was fun to be able to talk with her and teach with her. She's amazing and can already teach like a stud. It was sweet to see how she would ask me questions and i could tell her all about experiences from my mission...i feel so old haha! When i have to say Back in 2017 when i was in Ushuaia.,.. hahaha super trippy.
Wednesday was crazy with meetings and informes and studies and the weekly meeting with our missionary leader and the dinner for the Leaders in the evening before Consejo...we didn’t even have a second to breathe.
Thursday...CONSEJO! Super amazing, my last one. It was sad, but I really enjoyed it, the revelation and ideas that came, and the Spirit that was felt. It was hard to begin saying some goodbyes (elder macdonald, hermana williams..) but its part of the mission that i am going to have to get used to in these next few weeks...
Friday we had a quick zone meeting to give out all the info that we received in Consejo. Then we (with the zone leaders and my comp) spent almost the rest of the day planning our Conferncia de Zone and Entrevistas con Presidente that is tomorrow and Wednesday....yikes! Planning the meals, getting the money, making the budget, planning out everything...took the whole day and we still didn’t finish! Luckily, my comp is a champ and the ZL are flippin hilarious and i just love em all! Learning a lot!
Saturday we finally got to work a bit more. BUT we realized...that we have almost no one in our area to teach. Julio, we are going slow because he’s still not married and theres not much we can do about that, Valeria and Martin are being a little difficult and aren't coming to church and so that means Belen doesn't come, and Manuel we are still teaching but he is being difficult and wants to learn and attend but not be baptized. So in the area, we are almost starting from 0. So we used our area book and contacted and everything, but no one. no one wants to listen. or even answer their freaking door cause its vacation time and everyone leaves Comodoro. UGH! I got pretty frustrated, because after 5 months in this pinchi area it looks like I haven’t even done anything, even though i have worked my butt off. Still makes me a little sad, but theres nothing else to do but just keep pushing through and increase my faith and my actions! We did have a little tender mercy. We had our first lunch with a member, a RM, and we went and he had to leave but his mom was their and so she served us the food and we chatted. She’s not a member, and hasn’t ever really received missionaries, but we chatted and won her confidence a bit, then at the end we had a quick moment to share something form the book of mormon during our conversation, and we got her to talk a little bit about church related things...she enjoyed the conversation and even accepted a pamphlet of the plan of salvation! we got her number and will go slow, but maybe we can see a miracle there... even if she doesn’t live in our are haha ! Rosa is her name,
SUNDAY...super neat experience
We are walking to the chapel and enter just on time, and the assistentes grab me and are like Hey Hermana theres an Area 70 here and him and Presidente need you do to something. I’m like oh crap what. Can you give a talk today when he calls you up about the Missionary Work and Purpose? I’m like ahhh yeah! Then Presidente sees me and comes over and says yeah its like 5 or 10 minutes no mas and no pressure.....
alright....
so we sit down and church starts (Manuel came!) and my brain is going like a mile a minute and I’m trying to write down some coherent notes or something so that i don’t sound like a flippin tard up there in front of my mission presidente and his wife, an area 70, 15 missionaries, the assistents....my ward, my investigator.....ahhhhh no pressure right? but i stayed calm and a few minutes later, they called me up to talk
So i went up and started talking, had written down two scriptures and a few words no mas and the ideas and words just came. i had to slow down my speech, but when i did, and focused and just went by the spirit, the words came out and came out good! After i finished, President Fernandez (70) went up and gave his part, quoting me and making mention of the things that i said and saying that what i said in my talk was exactly perfect! I felt super proud (not in a bad way) and super super happy. and after everything ended, presidente came to me and said that i did a fantastic job and was exactly what they needed. YES !!!!!!! I talked with the Presidente fernandez after and he said he has a daughter serving in Utah (super unusual for someone here to have a kid on a mission) and he said i made him think of her a lot and it was so sweet. He said OH I hear you are going home real soon, good luck in your return and know that you have done an amazing job.....
YEET! I was on cloud nine
I asked presidente salerno by message later that night, Hey Why did you choose me, or whose idea was it that i should give a talk 5 minutes before sacrament started)
he said
Presidente Fernandez asked me if there was a super missionary that could give a good definition about the Missionary Work and purpose to set me up for my talk that i will give. I thought of you Hermana Holt and thats why.
AWWWW

Sunday we had a tsunami (we walked an hour with our district to the area of the ZL and contacted a bunch of people together). BLAZING hot sun. Almost died. an hour there, hour tsunami, hour back... i got so sunburned its not even funny...at least i wont be whitey white when i get home

haha but i am doing well. Pushing through. My body is more tired each and every day and my mind too but I’m not trunky luckily, that hasn’t been a problem. its just that the area is hard. but i feel peaceful and confident and will keep doing what i can! 
Just do the most of the best that you can. Is what presidente tells me!
I LOVE YOU GUYS
I miss you. I hope you have a fantastic week!!!! I pray for you all the time.
Love
amy









January 7, 2019


January 7, 2019- 72 weeks down, 5 to go
Hi mom! Happy New Years!!! 2019!
My week was great. The craziness of transfers finally died down, and everyone is in their new area with their new companions, including me! 
Hna Bushman is an angel. Im so grateful to be with her! She is basically my twin, not in looks but in personality and behavior, which I love cause we get along SUPER well! Finally! Haha! 
Monday for New Years Eve the Hnas came over and we made tacos and mexican food (to the best that we could haha) and toasted at midnight! The town went crazy at midnight and everyone was partying until 7am (well, except the missionaries of course haha). Tuesday was our Pday. We dressed in normal clothes..and went to a type of camping area and cooked a super asado and played soccor and frisbee and just relaxed in the outdoors.... IT WAS AMAZING and a great way to relax a bit before the crazy week started. LOVE asados. And we got to watch The Incredibles 2!!!! SO GOOD haha! That night, a member from Caleta came and was set apart as a missionary. And because we are the Sister Leaders, she stayed the night with us and we brought her the next morning to the airport to leave for her mission in Mexico. It was a trippy experience..made me remember when i left almost 17 months ago! I felt so old haha. 
Wednesday we just dealt with traslados and all the newbies arrived. I got to see Hna Chirinos, cause she’s going to be a Capactiadora in Gallegos (with Hna Oliveira...RIP...sorry not sorry). She’s a doll I love her, she has changed so much since I trained her!
Thursday we had to request more time to sleep in cause we were just pooped from waking up at like 5am each morning... and we had our first District Meeting as a new district in the evening. I LOVE my last district. Elder Lees still is my district leader, with his same comp Elder Monahan. Elder Machado y Otoni are in the district too and are our zone leaders. They are all super amazing and I am so pumped to work with them this last transfer of my mission.
Since this new transfer began and I have been with my new comp, we have felt the Spirit ATON and have been able to coordinate real well together. Im teaching her how to be a Capacitadora, and love it. Friday we got to work the whole day in our area and taught Belen. Her fecha fell through cause her parents and her couldn’t attend church on Sunday... which broke our heart a bit... but we fasted and so I know we did all that we could. We will keep working with her and the family, and put a new fecha for the end of january. Its so hard, but I want her and the family to be baptized so bad! But the father, martin, is being tough...
Saturday we taught Manuel also... the lesson went great, we taught about prophets and the spirit. And we talked more about baptism and he doesn’t want to commit to another fecha yet. He doesn't feel ready or worthy, as he says, but we will see... he came to the baptism of Arialis later that night (the investigator of the zone leader) and seemed to enjoy it a lot. 
Also...guess who we taught Saturday afternoon.... JULIO! He came and we taught him and asked questions to see if he really still has his testimony. He does! He finished reading the entire Gospel Principles Book, even though we haven’t met with him in over a month. He didn’t want to come to church this Sunday, but after the lesson, he committed to come, and CAME! And participated! Still isn't married, says that February 15 is their date ..but isn’t super set... ugh. 
Sunday was so neat, having the new schedule. I felt a spiritual confirmation during the Sunday School part of the schedule that really this IS how the Lord wants his church run. The feeling was undeniable for me! The people we brought to church all participated with the members in the class, it was heaven for all the missionaries haha!
and we had our first lunch with members in 2 months! Pollo y arroz and salads, so yummy! I was so grateful haha.
I feel great, super happy and not trunky at all. Working hard, feeling the spirit, passing through rough spots with manuel and belen... but trying to trust that the Lord really is aware of His Children and will help me help them to get baptized!
Im so glad that you all had a fantastic week as well and a great new years. The new year has begun! I love new starts and new changes. I cant wait to be with you all and share all that i have learned. I hope that you are all safe and happy and enjoying your time together. LOVE YOUUU MOMMMMMMMM

December 31, 2018


December 31, 2018- 71 weeks down, 6 to go
HI mommy! 
Sorry... I think it may be the buttcrack of dawn over there...but pday really isn’t pday today so we have to write in the morning...keep working  like normal during the afternoon, and tomorrow for new years day we have the rest of pday... un gran asado and MOVIE! LETS GO! I think we will get to watch the incredibles 2!!!!!!!!!!
How are you all doing? I love you! 
It was great to talk with you all on Tuesday. It was weird, its already been three times, so I felt like I didn’t even know what to say! But I love being able to talk with you and see you all.
SO.... Transfers were announced Saturday night... my last transfer.. 
drum roll..........
I WILL FINISH MY MISSION HERE; IN COMODORO RIVADAVIA... WITH HERMANA BUSHMAN! She’s from Texas, and i communicated with her before the mission! I will be training her as an hermana capacitadora. Im super excited to finish the mission with a familiar face! (And SUPER relieved for a change in companions)
I cant believe I will be finishing my mission here in Comodoro. I thought Id be leaving for my last transfer, but it was a nice surprise to be able to finish here in Comodoro, with my same district leader and zone leaders and buddies. The ward is REAL hard here..REAL hard... but I got like a new burst of animo and I'm ready to GO and finish strong here! Lots of lasts, and I hate it when everyone keeps talking about it. But Im going to just work work work! I'm pumped.
My hija in the mission, Hna Chirinos, is a new hermana capacitadora this transfer too! So Ill get to see her in Consejo before I go home! YAY!
This week was neat. After the phone call with you all, I was fine, always hate hanging up, but we hung out and watched the christmas devotional to finish off the day (I LOVED the talk from Pres Nelson, absolutely amazing). Wednesday and Thursday were normal days, but my comp got real sick with her stomach and we had to stay inside for most of those days, or at least take it way easy. It was hard for me, because I wanted to get out of the pension and work. But oh well. I got to read the scriptures a lot.. finished the Book of Mormon! The goal of President Nelson! It was amazing to finish it. I learned SO much from reading it for these last 3 months. Ive read the book of mormon quite a few times on my mission now, and each time i learn so much more. I want to develop better the gift of revelation so that i can keep learning new things each time i read it. Amazing. 

HEY how did Grandma and Grandpa receive the Book????????????

Funny story
Saturday morning we get up, and i had a thought cross my mind that this last Sunday our new leader misional told us we might have correlation Saturday at 9am. But i had forgotten all about it. So we called him at 8am and didnt respond. So we figured, nah, he forgot too. So at 9am sharp he calls us HERMANAS I’M IN THE CAPILLA WHERE ARE YOU ALL.... us: uhhhhh you didn’t confirm so we thought it got cancelled
him: nope I’m here and you guys better get here
us......
i  hung up and my comp was in the shower so we burst open the door and yell GET OUT we gotta go tot he church for correlation and the hermano isnt happy and she screams and we all get ready in 3 seconds flat, no makeup, and run out and i call the elders to come too because they all forgot. It was a mess.
So us 6 get to the church and the hno is there waiting (he's kind of a strange one, mind you) and the elders obviously hadn’t done their hair or shaved and everyone just looks dead and confused and it was super funny. we couldn’t keep a straight face the whole meeting. In the moment it wasn't that funny, but looking back, its pretty darn funny. (Because usually we don’t have correlation cause we don’t have a leader misional, or when we do, its Tuesday nigh, not Saturday at freaking 9am)
So thats my funny story for the week

haha i love you all. Loved hearing about your super fun week! Seriously looks like an absolute blast! Im so glad that you all have so much fun together. I hope you all stay safe, have a great week..and
....
HAPPY NEW YEARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
dos mil nunca (two thousand never) has arrived! (thats what all the missionaries call the year they go home). I cant believe that we are arriving in 2019. Tonight we will get together with the other hermanas from the zone and make Mexican food! Well..try to make Mexican food. haha. And tomorrow an asado! I love the mission

Manuel didn’t get baptized, but came to church. we are still working with him, he needs a little more time, but is progressing. Valeria and Belen came to a baptism with us Saturday and loved it. But didn’t make it to church because they got sick. But Belen should be baptized the 12th of January! LETS GO!

I’m excited for this week. Gonna be a crazy week of transfers. But I love it and hope i make it out alive hahaha


I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU
HAVE A GREAT DAY
