so yeah, this week was awesome!!! cuz,,,, guess what!? this missionary finished her 12 weeks of training!!! :) whoop whoop!!!! :)
also... unfortuantely summer is officially over here, so all the kids are back in school as of yesterday. kinda crazy huh!? anyways, so we had quite a few cancellations this week for ¨back-to-school preparations¨ but that didnt stop us from trying!!! :) this week we focused on our less-active members though and we actually had two come to church!!! which was SUPER exciting!! cuz norma hadn´t been to church in 12 years!!! crazy huh!? ahhhh. i seriously love norma so much. she has polio, so she walks with crutches cuz her one leg doesnt have much function. but yeah. she had been looking for a job and we testified to her that if she prayed with faith, heavenly father would help her find a job. :) and what do you know... SHE FOUND A JOB!!!! ahhh. i was so happy for her. and honestly, its just proof that heavenly loves ALL of his children, and never forgets about us... even if we forget about him... for 12 years.... ha ha.
oh!! we also had the opportunity to be ¨tour guides¨ in a chapel open house in a chapel way far away. ha ha. it was cool to see a different part of argentina, but i could also see why they dont have sisters in this area... ha ha. kinda sketchy with lots of people. anyway, this whole day was probably the longest day of life... literally. cuz the travel to the chapel was on a smelly crowded bus, standing slash surfing the bumps in the road side by side like sardines in a can, seriously, the longest bus ride of my life. ha ha. then we got lost, ended up walking 30 blocks (no joke... literally 30. ha ha.) in the hot sun. and ended up at the wrong chapel.... oh boy. so by the time we finally got to the chapel i was exhausted to say the least. but WOW. what a special experience this was. in the chapel they had the cristo set up in teh front. and then we would ask the group to turn off their cell phones as we listen to teh words of christ. then we would play a short audio of christs words (much like the audio in temple square) and seriously, i listened to this audio about 13 times and wow. every. single. time. the spirit was SO strong!!! then i got the opportunity to testify about christ right after, and seriously, i was so grateful for this opportunity. and normally you would think bearing testimony 13 times about jesus christ would get redundant... but seriously. no. everytime i swear the spirit got stronger and stronger. and a couple times i even got choked up!! wow. i dunno. this whole week has just been a testimony to me of my love for my savior and the reason why i am out here in this forgein country!!! ahhh!!! how incredibly grateful i am for this gospel in my life. for this knowledge to know that i have a heavenly father that listens and answers my prayers. to know that my heavenly father send his only begotten son, my brother, jesus christ, who suffered and died for ME, for my sins, my pains, my trails, my heartaches, my everything!!! ahhh!!!
