Hi everyone!!! IM IN ARGENTINA!!!! I got here really early on Tuesday morning and then life just got real haha. Im in an area called Zarate, it is so poor and humbling, I have never seen anything like this in my life. This week was literally so cold haha I wore tights and sweaters and a coat everyday, but now its warming up so im so happy about that! Let me tell you about my area. I walk on dirt roads all day and see cement houses. We visited an investigator this week who lives in the craziest house I have ever seen. It is like so so tiny and just cinder blocks and cement. She has 4 kids and her niece is living with her so they have 6 people in their tiny house. Oh and 5 dogs like everyone else. I just cried because I wanted to hold the kids and tell them I loved them. When they kissed me on the cheek, I dont think I've ever been happier.  We have an amazing investigator named Melina. We have her baptism interview tonight and I am so excited! She is so amazing...

Hey everyone!  I can't believe it, but I'm leaving to serve my cute little Argentines in FIVE DAYS and I'm feeling every emotion in the book! I'm scared because Argentina is really far and I've never been there. I'm excited because I'm a missionary and get to teach people about the best thing in the world and share the wonderful message of the restored Gospel! Please keep me in your prayers this week and more importantly my little Argentines. I want to teach everyday until my feet fall off!  This week was pretty much the same as the last one!

Facey and I try and predict if it will rain everyday because we think wearing our jackets is the funniest thing ever!  I am getting so sad about leaving my district and the girls in my apartment. We've had so ...

Heyooooo people!!! I'm going to be real, this week was a TOUGH one for me. But thats okay! Before I left Jen Vawdrey told me I'd have the highest highs and the lowest lows and I've really seen that haha. I only have one more P day here in the CCM and that is SO crazy to me! What a ride this hs been! On Friday the 13th we were playing volleyball with some Elders and Facey came down and BOOM BYE BYE FOOT! She tore some tendons or something and of course I was laughing my head off because she fell but then i felt bad when she couldnt walk so that was an oops! But we decided we would all work 120% and I felt like we would see a miracle. and GUESS WHAT! Faceys back on her feet and we saw a miracle! It was amazing! God really blesses missionaries people. There are these chocolate bar things here called Kinder bars and I am like in love with them and we hadn't  had them for a bit so I was getting a little worried we wouldn't have them anymore, BUT then they pul...
