Letter #63 their eyes tell all..

HEEEY CHE!!!
faaaa mi familia!!!! este semana fue de diez!!!! en serio... estoy re re re feliz!!!! :)
oh crap... english. ;) perdoname!!! ;)
 so... I FINALLY BOUGHT A GAUCHO HAT!!!  #itsanargentinecowboy  #youhavenoideahowexcitediam #iloveargentina
okay... lemme try again... wow my dear family... this week really was OSUM!!! seriously... i just am so happy like all the time!!! its kinda crazy!!! we still dont have any solid investigators, we get chased by scary dogs on the daily, we sweat about a gallon of sweat everyday from this crazy hot syco sun, we return home sunburned and eaten alive by mosquitos every night && we get rejected about 50 times every single day... but im just so stinkin happy!!! i love it!!! && i dont understand how its possisble... BUT ITS SO POSSIBLE!!!! i{m living proof baby!!! :)
but yeah... i just feel like i finally know how to be the missionary i wanna be... confident in my own skin and in my abilities... but lets be honest... my abilities with HIS help!!! && obvio... i still struggle with the language here and there... but the confidence is there!!! and thats all that matters!!! :) i{m able to testify and bring the spirit in even just a simple street contact... AND IT JUST FEELS SO GOOD!!!! :) i seriously love being a missionary so much!!! :) and i{m just so grateful i{ve been able to experience this amazing journey with my shister shaunie at the beginning of my mission and now my shister domi at the end of my mission... i seriously am just the luckiest missionary on the planet... thats all i{m sayin!!! :)
but anywho... this week i{ve really been trying to focus on how you can tell if someone is a GOLDEN investigator or not... and... how i can use HIS time as a missionary as effectively as possible and how i can know if someone has real interest or no... well let me tell ya family... i{ve really had an enlightening and inspiring expierence... and literally the phrase: the eyes are the window to the soul... has a whole new meaning in my book!!! not only are the eyes a window... but the eyes of a person literally tell all!!! when a person is lonely or sad and needs comfort... you can see it in their eyes. when a person is happy and content with their life...  you can see it in their eyes. when a person is a total snake and talking to us for ALL the wrong reasons... you can see it in their eyes!!! (ha ha ha. had to include that one in there... ha!!!) && when a person is touched by our message and can feel the spirit... you can see it in their eyes!!! dang... and what an amazing experience it is to see someone feel the spirit and to see their eyes brighten in a split second... its the light of christ people!!! it literally is an indescribable light that brings more joy and happiness then anything else in this world could ever bring!!!! :) 
i love how ether 12 decribes it...

 19 And there were many whose faith was so exceedingly strong, even before Christ came, who could not be kept from within the veil, but truly saw with their eyes the things which they had beheld with an eye of faith, and they were glad.

HE is the light of world... and if we have EYES OF FAITH... its enevitable that we will be incredibly and undescribably glad!!! :) ahhh... this gospel is such an eye opener of happiness!!! through HIM we literally can have an eternal perspective and see beyond this world!!! what a blessing that is!!! and why!? because our heavenly father loves us more than any words on this computer screen could ever express!! HE LOVES US. and wants us to grow and become like HIM someday!!! :)
just having a mother-daughter moment in the park... ha ha ha. #bejealous
anyways... i hope this random train of thought actually makes sense && that you can feel my love and gratitude through my words... i just love this gospel so much family... and i{m so grateful for this amazing opportunity to be a missionary for a short 18 months!!! dang... its seriously flying by right before my very eyes and its freakin me out!!! but anyways... no more talk about time... no me gusta!!! ha ha.
but i love you all so very much!!! and hope you have the bestest week ever!!!
keep being amazing and showing HIS light through YOUR eyes!!! :)
love you long time!!!!
