¨one of the greatest secrets to missionary work is work! if a missionary works, he will get the spirit, if he gets the spirit, he will teach by the spirit, and if he teaches by the spirit, he will touch the hearts of the people and he will be happy. there will be no homesickness, no worrying about families, for all time and talents and interests are centered on the work of the ministry. thats the secret: work, work, work. there is no satisfactory substitute, especially in missionary work.¨ - president ezra taft benson

wow. i LOVE this quote. in colorado, it was a requirement to memorize it. then this week i found it in preach my gospel and decided it was my motto for this week!! :) cuz seriously... this week, we. put. in. WORK!!! wow. i seriously LOVE my new companion, hermana mowry. she is such a hard worker and is seriously the epitome of the missionary i want to be. she is so loving and dedicated and talks with EVERYONE!!! its awesome!!! seriously. this week has changed my perspective of what a mission should be. like real talk. a mission isn´t solely about numbers or baptisms. its about strengthing everyone i talk to in some way here in argentina. its about being an example, a minister of christ. its about finding new investigators, AND inactive members. ahhhh!!! i feel like were starting from square one here in villa adelina. becuase we finally stop seeing the ivestigators that werent progressing and were really focsuing on ¨menos activos¨ aka inactive members. and honestly, its been amazing how the lord really has sent us to the people that are ready and open!!! people who rejected me and cipriano before are open and read for me and mowry... ahhh!!! its so crazy!!! and i´m just so excited!!! THIS is what missionary work is all about. my feet have never been so sore and blistered, my bottom is bruised (ha ha. thats actually a funny story too. so the bikes that we thought didn´t work cuz they had flat tires and weeds growing through the wheel.... yup. they actually work!! all we had to do was fill up the tires from the sweet tire man that lives on the corner of our street and wah-lah!! we had working bikes!!! but wow. a day of riding on this cheap non-cushioned, low seated bikes definietly worked muscles i haven´t used in a while... ha!! needless to say, both me and hermana mowry are sore in awkward places... ha!!!), but yeah... i´m constantly tired, thirsty, hungry.... but honestly, i´ve never felt so good!! its like a good sore. a good tired. like being sore after a good work out at the gym!!! ha ha. i know i´m putting in hard work and REALLY doing all i can to gather his sheep here in argentina!!! :) we had 3 inactive members come to church this sunday!!! do you know how HUGE that is!?!?!? . i just love my life and love being a missionary!!! hope everything is happy and wonderful at home!!! :) i love you all SO much and i´m so incredibly grateful for such a wonderfully amazing family!!! remember, every member is a missionary!!! be true to who you are at all times, in all things, and in all places!! :)
