Amo Cordoba 10/30/23

 I'M IN ARGENTINA!! I left Mexico at 5 am on Thursday, and finally made it to my area on Saturday at 10 am! So there were a few longg travel days 😴 yesterday I had to fight hard to keep my eyes open all day long, but overall I've loved it so far!! I could probably write a whole book about this week, but I'll try to keep this short!


Some highlights/photos:

  • This week was filled with soo many goodbyes and last times, which was so sad! For a while I felt like I'd never leave the CCM but the next thing I knew I was on a plane to Argentina! But I'm so grateful for all of the people I met in Mexico, they really did become my second family!!

  • Hna Trejo 🩷

  • Our walks with the elders🤠

  • Hna Karren 😭 this goodbye was definitely the hardest, I'm seriously so grateful for her! She set the bar real high for the rest of my comps. But I know she's gonna kill it in Chile!!! 

  • Now for the part I know you've all been waiting for, Argentina!! Sorry I've been real bad at taking pictures, but I'll work with what I've got lol

  • I met my cute trainer Hna Gerstner!! She's the best!! Literally everyone we talk to asks if we're actually sisters. Two blonde gringos is quite the sight here

  • I fr got so lucky and got to reap the benefits of Hna Gerstner's hard work and have a BAPTISM on my first day here!!! It was so cool getting to see the joy that comes with the gospel, and to see the results of so many missionaries hard work! Also, how cute is this family 🤩

  • Learning spanish is soo hard but soo good, I know God's been helping me out a lot with that. Speaking is hard, but I can usually understand a decent amount of what people say! (Except for the time yesterday when I asked Hna Gerstner if they were talking about something and she literally couldn't stop laughing because I was so off lol 🙈)


Spiritual thought:

I finished the BOM on Friday morning! Shout out to Elder Ford, he promised our district he'd finish by the time we went to the field, and challenged us to do the same! Even though I had just started reading, I had the strongest feeling that I could do it, so I got reading!! It really was so cool to read it in such a short amount of time and get to connect all of the stories I've known my whole life into one big story. As I was reading in Ether 12, verse 12 really stood out to me:

  • For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.

This scripture really does apply perfectly to my life at the moment, nothing short of a miracle will allow me to learn Spanish in such a short amount of time, find someone on the street who will get baptized, or even read the BOM in less than a month. None of these miracles can happen if I don't have faith. I know for a fact that God is in the details of our lives, and that through Him, anything is possible. All He asks is that we have faith. We all have things in our lives that seem impossible to do on our own, but I'm here to tell you that you don't have to!! God's always there waiting to show himself unto us if we let him! 


Love and miss you all so much!!

Holaa todos! So sorry I had no time to write an email last week so here's just a quick update on the last little bit! Played soccer for p-day for the first time in my mission. I may have gotten a little bit competitive!  Had Zone conference!! It was so good! We talked all about becoming/helping others become lifelong disciples of Christ! Plus I got to see my bestie Hermana Jensen! We're still praying for the day we get to be comps! LIDIA GOT BAPTIZED!! I mean it when I say that Lidia is the most kind, loving, selfless person I've ever met! She's become our mom here in San Fran and I just love her so much!  Had zone p-day in Arroyito! Played some more soccer, ate some churi pan and played some Uno! Plus I bought the sickest shorts, son buenísimo  Celebrated Hermana Mascarenhas’ birthday!! The members here are so precious and surprised her with a birthday cake! Went to visit one of our friends and they had a little baby pig! It even had a little sweater! I have literally ...

Hola everyone!! This weekend was seriously full of miracles!! Friday night we went to visit Nadia and Miguel (our recent converts) and Miguel's son was there! They had been telling him about the plan of salvation, and he wanted to know more! So we taught him all about God's plan for us, and it went so good!! Then the next night we went to visit them again and another one of Nadia's sons was there!! I literally had Deja Vu. We taught him all about the plan of salvation and how we're here to be happy! He said he's gonna come to church next week with Nadia!! Literally loco!!  And the biggest miracle of all!!! ANA AND GABI'S PAPERS CAME!!! Ana and Gabi are our friends who have been waiting for months for Ana's birth certificate to come so that they can get married and get baptized! Gabi is the older brother of Luis, who starts his mission next monday, so we've been praying that the papers would come before Luis leaves. But not gonna lie, we were starting to ...
