Letter #37 confirmations, rats, && stolen cameras..

HOLA HOLA HOLA MY LOVES!!!!! :)
so this week was quite the roller coaster... ha ha. like no joke. but.. i´ll fill you in on the highlights...
awe... my cute little edwin in his white collared shirt and tie!!!
 he kinda looks drunk in this foto tho... ha!!! 
but... had to show off how fly he looked!!! ha ha. :)
barli, edwin, me, hermana edgar, y valentine!!! 
teaching these fools in the plaza of congreso... 
no big deal. ha ha. #lovebeingamissionary
the best news of all news... edwin && brian got confirmed yesterday!!! woohoo!!! seriously. it was so beautiful!!! edwin was wearing his new white collared shirt and tie that a member gifted him at his baptism... and seriously. i almost cried. he looked SO GOOD!!!! i felt like a proud momma watchin her son grow up!!!! ha ha. also... through edwin and brian now their cousins wanna get baptized!!! but they are not in our area... which stinks... but still!!! they all came to the confirmation!!! awe man... thats why we have had so much opposition!!! cuz real talk... we have CHANGED this family!!! okay. we havent. but this gospel has. and it makes me SO incredibly happy to be able to witness the change right before my very eyes!!! :)
oh, pobresito... his own dang fault
 for crawling into my bed at night!!! ha ha ha. 
okay... and as for the ¨argentina stories¨ this week... yup. we found the final rat!! the next day AFTER i felt it crawling on my feet in my bed in the middle of the night... yeah... i dont wanna talk about it. ha ha. but yeah. the freakin rat is finally dead!!!! goodness gracious it was a 2 hour struggle... but... after lighting it on fire and hot boxing the kitchen... it eventually ran out from under the oven and i smacked it to death with a broom... ha ha ha. thats OBVIOUSLY the nut shell version. ha!!! but yeah. lets just say... i hate rats. and that poor rat felt all my fristration... via broom. ha ha ha ha. but yeah. i´m kinda the mission joke at the moment though as our ¨mission email¨ this week had a little joke about ¨smashing rats...¨ very funny elders... ha ha ha. but yeah. our theory is... we had 2 baptisms && confirmations, so satan sent us 2 rats. ha ha. oh man. then the next depressing update... my comp got her camera stolen as the mom of edwin and brian was using it to take fotos of her sons... yeah... real talk. oppostion sucks. ha ha ha. but were not gonna let it get us down!!! were still happy as a clam and preaching this gospel to everyone we meet here in congreso!!! :) i found this quote in my quote book that i forgot i had...
¨DON´T GIVE UP!!! there are occasionally hard days for each of us! do not despair! do not give up! look for the sunlight throgh the clouds!¨
-president gordon b. hinckley

wow. if that doesn´t say it all... i dunno what does!! :) today is a bright and sunny and freakin happy day (like literally - i´m not wearing my huge jacket to keep warm!!! ha ha.) but real talk.... i´m so happy!!! i love being a missionary and seeing the change this gospel can bring into peoples lives!!! :) we have the secret to happiness!!! no if´s, and´s or but´s about it!!! :) ahhhh... i love you all so much my lovelies!!!! :)
the church is true && the book is blue!!! :)
xoxoxoxo.




besos!!!
