ahhhh... i feel like so much has happened this week but at the same time it flew by so dang fast!!! will i ever get used to this mission life time warp!? probably not. ha ha. but yeah... wow. i just have so much i want to write you && so little time!!! bah... anywho. this week was truely incredible!!! remember when i told you i love being a missionary!? cuz i really truely absolutely do!!! && im so happily excited for domi to finally be entering the REAL mission field this week!!! bahhhh!!!! #thailandissoblessed EXITOS MI HERMANITA!!!! thailand is so seriously so freaking blessed!!!! :)
but yeah... this week here in argentina... primero i went on divisiones in zarate with hermana carter, which was a total blast && a half!!! seriously i love learning from other missionaries && seeing their strengths && stealing them... ha!!! also... me && hermana carter were both in congreso serving together (not as comps, just in the same ward) so it was so fun to be back together!!! shes a boss. && i just love her so much!!! :) also... we definitely woke up earlier && went ¨running¨ down the coast line of ther river aka: had a 6 o´clock in the morning foto shoot!!! ha!!! seriously though. the sunset was incredible!!! and i seriously started that day feeling SO inspired by god´s beauty && creations!!! #hippiemoment #peace&love

our cute little marta gave us these cute teddy bears
 from holland... #shessoadoreable #lovehersomuch
#lovebeingamissionary
anywho... but... the definite highlight of this week was... MARTA´S BAPTISM!!!!
yes. it happened. && yes. it was absolutely wonderful. && yes. a member of the seventy was definitely there. #dassswhatsup
seriously though. i was totally in tears. it was one of the most beautiful baptisms of my life!!! marta was truely glowing with the spirit!! && the next day when we had fast and testimony meeting she definitely got up && bore the most beautiful testimony i have every heard!!! ahhh... the church is true people. thats all im saying. it changes lives. && i know this. cuz its changing mine. :)
speaking of yesterdays fast && testimony meeting tho... wow. blown away. seriously one of the most powerful meetings i have ever been in!! the spirit was unreal. && being in my tiny chapel with my increidble family of baradero... wow. i´m just so grateful for this amaizng opportunity to be amongst these incredible human beings. && as i got up to bear my testimony (after fighting the spirit for 20 minutes) i seriously could not stop the trembling... the spirit was testifing to me in the most incredible way it ever has in my entire life!!! and it reminded me of a quote from president gordon b. hinckley...
¨if you want to find your testimony... bare it.¨
&& seriously i believe its the same with strengthening your testimony. seriously... my tesimony has never been so tried && strengthened in all my life than in my mission. && im seriously so increidbly grateful becuase in this year && a half... i have found my testimony. && im never ever gonna let it go!! i have it. && im living it. :)
awe mi familia... i just love you all so much!!! && i want to invite you this week to find YOUR testimony && bare it. it doesn´t have to be a huge prophetical speech, && you dont need a pulpit or soap box... just share what you know. live what you know. a one liner here or there. a smile. a compliment to a complete stranger. i believe its the little things here && there that make all the difference!!! :)
anyways... i just love you all so increidbly much!!!!
hope you have yet again another fantasticly great week!!!!
