MI FAMILIA!!!!!

hola hola hola!!! y... alooooooooooha!!!! :)

oh boy, oh boy... first of all i need to send a shout out && apologie to my beloved shaunie && cam... i honestly have no idea what happened to the time, like what!? its april!? yeah... my comp asked what the date was... and when i replied ¨14 de abril¨... i freaked out!!! i honestly still thought we were in march... #soawkward #dyingmissionaryproblems #pleaseforgiveme

but... HAPPY HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY SHAUNIE BEAR && CAM MY MAN!!!!

i hope it was the most wonderful birthday ever && ever!!!! && just know were gonna party like its 1999 in a little less than 3 weeks... bahhhh!!!!! #cantbereal #totallyfreakingout #needmyinhaler #puffpuff #breathinbreathout

anywho... faaaa. familia. this week was seriously yet another incredible week here in la boca!!!! bahhhhh!!!! i just love being a missionary so much!!!! :) #betchadidntalreadyknowthat #bahhhhh #only3moreweeks

by the way tho... its definitely starting to get cold here... && no me gusta. im getting the best of both worlds going home right when its starting to get chilly down south... ha!!! #hannahmontanastyle #argentinesloveher

but yeah... the other day we had lunch with a member that recently lost her 8 year old daughter to cancer.... && wow... seriously this lunch with this incredible woman has really shook me deep.... like wow. this woman truely is incredible!!! as her daughter was going through therapy, this amazing woman willingly gave her daughter one of her kidneys in hopes to help her live... but her fragile recently baptized eight year old body rejected the kidney && she died a few weeks later!!! but wow... all the little stories she was telling us was such a great evidence to me that the veil is really so thin!!! && this little angel was honestly sent to this family from heaven!!!! she wasnt afraid to die && infact was more preocupied in preparing her family for the temporal seperation leaving notes and little pictures around the house of jesus && how shes excited to see him again... wow. blew. my. mind. but also the faith of this dear sweet young mother as she keeps THE GREAT PERSPECTIVE && explains to us that her daughter learned all she needed to in this life && was prepared to return with her heavenly father && savior... && how she knows she still has some personal preparation to do before she can join her daughter on the other side.... faaaaa!!!! #mindblown

then i was reading in alma 34:32...

32For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors .

&& wow. it really hit home hard... we need to keep the great perspective fam... we have to continue our preparation!!! for we never know when the day will come that our father is gonna call us back home... never ever!!! but when he does, we know its just a temporary seperation... we know we will all be together once again!!! that is the great perspective... we know why we are here: to learn.. to grow.. & to prepare!!! i feel like ive gotten a little piece of that while being here out on the mission... obviously its nothing like death or losing a loved one... but i´ve been able to see how the great perspective can really help us get through the hard times... && how our faith and trust in our lord && savior can literally carry us!!!! :)

ahhhh... i just love you all so very much familia && im so excited to see your beautiful faces in less than 3 weeks!!!! bahhhh!!!! #notbeingtrunky #juststayingpostive #lovemypreciousargentina #lovemymission #lovemyamazingfamilia

anywho... anywho... anywho... have the bestest week ever!!!!
